Following an exhilarating Super Saturday at Barrett-Jackson’s 2023 Scottsdale Auction, the excitement continued at WestWorld on Sunday, January 29, with a docket of amazing cars and automotive-related memorabilia.
More than 150 cars crossed the block on the ninth and final day of the record-breaking 2023 Scottsdale Auction. Muscle cars, pickups and SUVs drove sales, with several vehicles surpassing the six-figure mark. The day’s top sales included Lot #1593, a 1979 Chevrolet K10 pickup for $165,000; Lot #1632, a 1941 Willys custom coupe, for $126,500; Lot #1568, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for $123,200; Lot #1604, a 2024 Bentley Continental Flying Spur for $106,700; and Lot #1581.1, a 1971 Chevrolet K10 pickup, for $100,100.
More than a dozen sales records were set during the afternoon. Trucks and SUVs were bidder and fan favorites throughout each day of the auction, and Sunday was no exception, with just less than two-thirds of the day’s record-breaking sales belonging to the rugged vehicles.
Sunday started with another exciting look at the past, with more than 100 authentic pieces of history getting their turn on the auction block. From tin advertising signs and pinball machines to gas globes, soda machines and much more — there was something for everyone. A crowd favorite was Lot #9586.4, an ultimate custom pickup go-kart. It was restored by a 10-year-old boy who joined Automobilia Director Rory Brinkman on the block to share details of the restoration and bang the gavel on the $17,250 sale. Other top sales included Lot #9597.3, a large Ferrari Light-Up sign, for $57,500; Lot #9599.1, a 1950s Dairy Queen neon porcelain sign for $37,950; Lot #9598.7, an early 1960s Gulf Oil porcelain with animated neon sign for $34,500; Lot #9593.2, a large Porsche dealership sign for $29,900; and Lot #9584, a vintage Kentucky Derby coin-operated kiddie ride for $28,750.
