2023 PALM BEACH SUPER SATURDAY BROADCAST - Saturday, April 15, 2023 - BARRETT-JACKSON 2023 AUCTION

Описание: Big sales, exciting moments and enthusiastic bidding made for a great Super Saturday at the 2023 Palm Beach Barrett-Jackson Auction! The last of the more than 600 incredible collector vehicles made their way across the stage today, with additional auction world-record sales logged. The top seller was a 2020 ‪@ford‬ GT Heritage Edition (Lot 740) with its $1,457,500 sale.

The auction arena went wild on a number of occasions – notably when the first retail production VIN 001 2024 ‪@Chevrolet‬ Corvette E-Ray 3LZ (Lot 3000) rolled onto the block. The arena was on its feet when the car sold for $1,100,000 with 100% of the hammer price benefiting ‪@donorschooseorg‬, an organization committed to education. The generous winning bidder was ‪@NASCAR‬ team owner Rick Hendrick. In an especially kind gesture, Michelle Mauzy, noted philanthropist and longtime member of the Barrett-Jackson family, donated an additional $50,000 to the nonprofit, bringing the total raised for DonorsChoose to $1,150,000.

Following the exciting moment on stage, Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson, and Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson, were presented with commemorative gavels by Michael Sawaya, president of the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, to celebrate the addition of the inaugural New Orleans Auction, slated for September 28-30, 2023.

The day’s second charity vehicle, Lee Iacocca’s 2009 Ford Mustang Iacocca 45th Anniversary Edition (Lot 3001), brought more heartfelt moments to the block when it sold for $150,000. The entire hammer price of this vehicle benefited the Ellis Island Honors Society Inc., which creates scholarships and supports cultural events and programs around the nation. The sale included a painting of the car that was created during the auction.

The other big stars of the show that drove today’s top sales included a 2020 Ford GT (Lot 725) and a 2005 Ford GT (Lot 725.1), both from the Steve Todhunter collection, which crossed the block for $990,000 and $440,000, respectively. A 2018 ‪@Porsche‬ 911 GT2 RS (Lot 744) sold for $434,500, while a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette custom convertible (Lot 722) followed with a $401,500 sale. Rounding out the Top 10 sales was a 2019 Porsche Speedster (Lot 745) that sold for $396,000, a 2018 ‪@RollsRoyceCars‬ Phantom (Lot 739) for $363,000, a 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (Lot 748.1) for $346,500, and a 2017 ‪@Ferrari‬ 488 Spider (Lot 737) that brought the winning bid of $330,000.

The morning’s Automobilia Auction also saw impressive sales, with a spectacular 1930s-40s ‪@phillips66‬ embossed porcelain neon sign (Lot 8295) selling for $43,125 taking it home. Another top sale was an incredible 1940s Marathon Oil Ethyl Gasoline gas pump globe (Lot 8254.2), which sold for $27,025. Rounding out the top three was a 1957 Bowser gas pump in Ferrari regalia (Lot 8281), which went to its new home for $18,975.

Chip Foose joined Jackson and Davis on the podium for the sale of a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500E (Lot 730) that earned $264,000 with its sale. Shawn Shelby, grandson of Carroll Shelby, also made an appearance on the auction podium for the $176,000 sale of a 2022 Ford ‪@ShelbyAmericanInc‬ GT500 Heritage Edition (Lot 762) from the Brian Kelly collection.
