Default Barrett-Jackson - Las Vegas 2016



We went to the Barrett-Jackson Car Auction as we usually do each year. 750 cars crossed the auction block this year.
In keeping with the theme of the forum, I am only posting pictures of the Corvettes, though.



And, a few other things that caught my attention...



Remember, this is not a car show. All of these vehicles sold without reserve today































































































And just because you can, doesn't mean you should

Thanks for sharing! I watched some of the auction live on TV and the range of cars available was really great. B-J puts on great auctions. You're lucky to be able to attend in person.

I had the opportunity to talk with Cristy at BJ @ Mohegan Sun earlier this year. She was real easy to talk with (and easy on the eyes)
I found her to be a lot shorter in person that how she shows on TV.

OP real nice pictures, thanks!

I went to the first BJ auction in Las Vegas and had a blast.


I go to Mecum in Houston every year and always hit their Indy auction when in town for Qualifying weekend.

Any idea what that candy apple red C1 at the beginning of your pics went for? That thing is just beautiful!

OK, maybe you shouldn't...but you gotta admit it is an attention-grabber!

Isn't the rest of this car a Nomad? Those are pretty desirable all by themselves. A Nomad lover might not mind the front end.
