SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (Jan. 7, 2013) – Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions™, announced a strong January showing by auto industry and motorsports players. Some industry leaders will be onsite to consign, some to bid and some to be a part of the action. Whether it’s Gene Simmons endorsing a custom Ford truck or Rusty Wallace auctioning a car to benefit the NASCAR Foundation or a chance to bid on the Michael Schumacher 1998 Ferrari F300, 2014 will make history at the company’s 43rd Annual Scottsdale Auction, Jan. 12-19, at the all-new facility at Westworld of Scottsdale.
“Barrett-Jackson has a strong legacy of working with the auto industry as well as the racing side to raise money for local and national charities,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “This year, in Scottsdale, we will have numerous cars, consignors and players from the industry, which always makes for a dynamic auction.
