In a twist, auctioneer to offer rare rides in pairs
If one is good, two is better. That's what the folks at Barrett-Jackson must hope collectors will be thinking when it offers 12 lots of paired cars up for bids at next month's 36th annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale.
"The only thing better than a classic, rare collector car is a near identical one to match it," Barrett-Jackson CEO Craig Jackson told The Arizona Republic today.
"With 12 pairs scheduled to cross the block, we're adding a new dimension to the auction for hardcore collectors. The chance to nab two timeless classics with one swipe will be impossible to pass up," Jackson said.
Two ultra-rare 1954 Dodge Firearrow concept cars, and a pair of 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Tankers are among the pricey pairs up for grabs.
As we discussed in our December 12th Auction Talk Radio update, an overhauled and tricked out Hummer, once part of the CNN motor pool imbedded in Iraq, is also on the block, with proceeds from the sale benefiting to The Fisher House Foundation, a group that builds "comfort homes" for families of hospitalized military personnel. The auction is set for January 13th through the 21st in Scottsdale.
