Barrett-Jackson Auction Co., the Scottsdale-based collector car auction house, has more than 2,000 automobiles ready to be auctioned off in its January 2025 auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale from Jan. 18-26.
The event has on the company’s most diverse set of cars on the docket, Barrett-Jackson CEO Craig Jackson said. “It is an unbelievable collection of sports cars, supercars, hypercars, resto mods and the best of the best,” Jackson said.
Before cars start crossing the auction block on Jan. 20, Barrett Jackson has two days full of events including a concert by rock star Sammy Hagar. The “I Can’t Drive 55” singer has a long running relationship with Barrett-Jackson and sold his 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari for a record price of $4.675 million at the company’s inaugural fall auction this past October.
Hagar has another car – a 1962 Ford Thunderbird – up for auction this next week. It is common to have celebrities both buying and selling vehicles at the annual event. There are also some that just come to watch. The Scottsdale docket includes a 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda that was previously owned by Nicolas Cage and a 1951 Mercury Coupe built by Jesse James from the TV show “West Coast Choppers.”
The 2025 Scottsdale Auction will feature a collection of cars either from movies or rebuilt to look like vehicles from TV or film from a famed collector Stewart A. Berkowitz. Some of the cars hitting the auction block include a Batmobile from the 1960s "Batman" TV series. There is also re-created “Mystery Machine” from "Scooby-Doo," and a recreation of the vehicle seen in the 1968 film "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
The auction and all the events around Barrett-Jackson are expected to bring thousands of people to the Valley. A year ago, Barrett-Jackson broke its record of the number of qualified bidders with 6,300, and Jackson believes 2025 could have even more bidders and the company’s biggest auction ever.
“We are on pace ahead of that right now,” Jackson said. “You put 6,000-plus bidders going for 2,000 cars, and we're already north of $1 billion of lines of credit, so the formula is there.”
The city of Scottsdale found that Barrett-Jackson customers are responsible for $185 million in direct spending in the city during the January event, Jackson said.
In the past, Barrett-Jackson tried to set up its docket to fit customer trends and the broader collector car market. But Steve Davis, the president of Barrett-Jackson, said the Scottsdale event is where the market is set.
“[The market is] manifesting itself on our auction block and selling for what will be the market value and the trend when we're done,” Davis said.
Even though Barrett-Jackson is the biggest, it is not the only collector car auction happening in town next week. The Bonhams Scottsdale Auction will take place at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa from Jan. 22-24, RM Sotheby’s Auction will happen Jan. 23 and Jan. 24 at the Arizona Biltmore and Motorsports Auction Group will take place at Cubs Field at Sloan Park in Mesa Jan. 24-26.
