Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2017 Saturday

[Xplantdad]

Saturday is the biggest day at Barrett-Jackson, both dollar wise, attendance wise and celebrity wise. Since Holly just had her kidney transplant a month ago, we thought it wise to get to Barrett-Jackson early and then be gone before the big crowds hit around noon-as we cannot control who is around her...and who might not be feeling well.

Getting to Barrett-Jackson at 8:30am, it was already getting busy. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they broke their attendance records this year...even with the crazy rain that we had on Friday. It was a cool crisp morning with a few clouds, which was certainly welcome after deluge yesterday.

As far as the pictures, we wanted to try and feature many different makes of cars that are represented at Barrett-Jackson. I love muscle cars of all types, but it is amazing the variation of cars that are here every year.


To start, you can't go wrong with a 1969 Indy Pace Camaro

Pricing starts at $69,995, a figure that includes the cost of the donor vehicle but not the miscellaneous taxes and fees.
