“This year’s Scottsdale auction was a tremendous success,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of
Barrett-Jackson. “Despite the rain and colder temperatures, we had a phenomenal turnout, set 40 world
auction sales records and sold more than 1,800 pieces of authentic automobilia. This year’s entertainment
factor was through the roof. From Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steven Tyler and Grammy award-winning
Justin Bieber, through undefeated pro boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and the most decorated Olympian
in history, Michael Phelps, to two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson, there was no shortage of
entertainment and full-throttle excitement.”
The Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction gave bidders the chance to select from a wide range of American
muscle, European classics, exotic sports cars and one-of-a-kind customs. The top cars sold in Scottsdale

“Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale has become the most anticipated event of the year as it is the barometer for the
hobby,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Week, as proclaimed
by the city of Scottsdale, is an immersive entertainment experience that offers something every person can
enjoy. The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auction was the only place to find the greatest selection of cars,
the most passionate enthusiasts, the largest number of charity cars and the biggest displays by top
automakers, all inside more than a million square feet of covered space.”
The Charlie Thomas Collection, which featured 146 vehicles, sold for an impressive combined total of just over
$1.7 million, with the top three vehicles including a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (Lot #1284), a 1957 Ford
Thunderbird “F” Convertible (Lot #1282) and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster (Lot #1283).
Eight charity vehicles crossed the Scottsdale block this year, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee
and four-time Grammy winner Steven Tyler’s 2012 Hennessey Venom GT Spyder (Lot #3003). Tyler roared
onto the stage to help sell his rare Hennessey, which sold for $800,000, with 100 percent of the proceeds
benefiting Janie’s Fund.
“Steven Tyler entered the auction arena in true rock and roll style,” said Jackson. “With a grand entrance
featuring lights, music and Steven standing in the passenger seat, the crowd was on their feet like we were at
one of his concerts. There’s really no place in the world, like Barrett-Jackson, that brings together superstars
and super cars.”
