On Saturday, WWE Hall of Fame member Hulk Hogan took center stage and, in true “Hulkamania” fashion, ripped the shirt off his back to help Barrett-Jackson raise much-needed funds for U.S. veterans, children, cancer patients and others across the country. A few generous, philanthropic car dealers combined to raise $400,000 for the Achilles Freedom Team. David Flynn purchased the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro COPO Race Car VIN #001 for $300,000 followed by an additional $100,000 pledge from Jeanette and John Staluppi.

“I appreciate the opportunity to host people at our auctions who leverage their celebrity status to bring greater awareness to the needs of charitable organizations,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “It was exciting to have Hulk Hogan, a legend, join us on stage to help auction that ’69 Camaro Z/28. He used his contagious charisma to help energize the crowd in a way that only he can. With Hogan’s help we raised $150,000 to benefit Connor’s Cure, A HERO Foundation and The Grace Project.”

WWE Hall of Fame member Hulk Hogan is one of the most popular wrestlers of all time. He is a 12-time world champion, being a six-time WWF/E (World Heavyweight) Champion and six-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

PALM BEACH, Fla. – April 20, 2015 – Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions®, set multiple records at its 13th Annual Palm Beach auction in Palm Beach, Florida, on April 17-19, 2015, at the South Florida Fairgrounds. The lifestyle event generated sales of over $22 million at an amazing sell through rate of 98.3%, as well as an impressive group of consignments, bidders and the largest number of attendees in the event’s history.

“This was one of the most successful Palm Beach collector car auction in our history,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “The tremendous energy and excitement made the arena feel like Saturday evening during our Scottsdale event. This record level of interest demonstrates that Barrett-Jackson remains the hobby’s pacesetter. The new highs set for eclectic vehicles, along with strong prices for exotics, muscle cars and pre-war classics means that the market for collector cars remains strong across the entire spectrum.”

The event attracted more than 60,000 guests over the three-day weekend, a 30 percent increase from 2014; the number of bidders increased by 28%. A total of 526 vehicles crossed the block over the extended weekend. Among the notable sales was an ’87 Buick Grand National GNX (Lot #387) that set a world record going to the highest bidder at $165,000.

Herbie” broke the world record for Volkswagen Beetles when it sold for $126,500 in Palm Beach.

Over the past four decades, Barrett-Jackson has become the best place to buy or sell a vehicle with cinema provenance. From Batmobiles to “Christine,” some of the most iconic cars in history have rolled over the block. This year, Barrett-Jackson sold the movie car “Herbie” (Lot #394) for $126,500, which set the world record for the highest ever paid for a Volkswagen Beetle.

Once again, several vehicles were sold to benefit non-profit organizations, with 100% of the nearly $1 million dollars raised going to support veterans, children and other deserving charities.

“Barrett-Jackson’s international platform has helped charities raise money since the company was first founded,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “With the support of OEMs, consignors and bidders, the funds raised this weekend will fuel the work and raise the awareness of many local and national charities.”

Notable charity vehicles that crossed the block included the GM special-built 2015 Chevrolet Camaro COPO Race Car VIN #001 (Lot #3003) that sold for $300,000 to benefit the Achilles Freedom Team. Philanthropists and world-renowned car collectors Jeanette and John Staluppi donated an additional $100,000 to support the Achilles Freedom Team. A 2016 Cadillac CT6 Sedan (Lot #3001) sold for $200,000 to benefit the Karmanos Cancer Institute and a one-of-kind Tony Stewart “Smoke” Edition 1969 Chevelle (Lot #3000) sold for $75,000, benefitting The Darrell Gwynn Foundation.

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was on hand to help raise money for charity with a’69 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (Lot #3003.1) donated by Torque Sports and Performance. The classic muscle car earned $150,000 for three deserving charities – Connor’s Cure, A HERO Team and The Grace Project.

This year, supercars were an important staple of the auction. Those sold included legendary marques such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Spyker, Porsche, Rolls Royce and Bentley. While those awed the crowds, it was a gorgeous red 2006 Ford GT (Lot #406) with only 19 miles that led the way with a sale of $319,000.

“While high profile exotic cars captured a great deal of attention, the desire for collectible muscle cars, hot rods and customs continues to be very steady,” said Davis. “From rare Shelbys of all years to GM big blocks, Oldsmobile 442s and numbers matching Corvettes, these cars were highly prized.”

In an exciting first, GM, Ford and Chrysler were officially part of the Florida event. The “Big 3” had impressive exhibits of their latest lineup, as well as Ride ‘N Drive experiences. From hot laps in the new Corvette Z06 to rides with a pro driver in a Mustang GT and drag race rides in the 700+ horsepower Dodge Hellcat, the car culture was celebrated in high octane fashion over the weekend in West Palm Beach.

The weekend kicked off with an opening night gala featuring live music, local celebrities and luminaries. Other lifestyle activities included a special shopping trip to Worth Avenue for guests of the Barrett-Jackson Ladies Lounge.

“The experience that only Barrett-Jackson can deliver continues to fuel the collector car hobby,” said Jackson. “It’s exciting to watch the attention continue to grow for our event in Palm Beach as so many chose to spend their weekend at Barrett-Jackson.”

The next Barrett-Jackson auction will be the 3rd Annual Hot August Nights Auction, held Aug.6-8, 2015, at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. Coverage of the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Reno will be broadcast in live, high-definition TV on Velocity and Discovery.

14 DAYS UNTIL SCOTTSDALE: 1969 MUSCLE CARS

This 1969 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 is one of more than 140 vehicles from the Ron Pratte Collection crossing the block at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in January.

A true 1969 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 (Lot #2049), this beautiful car has matching date codes, casting numbers and engine numbers. With fewer than 2,000 BOSS 302s produced and built in 1969, and with even fewer having the original engine, transmission and rear end, this Mustang is incredibly rare. As reported on the included original Build Sheet and Elite Marti Report, this BOSS was ordered for a retired Ford Employee exactly as is.

The 1969 Mustang BOSS 302 was built for the Trans Am racing circuit back in 1969 and it competed against the Chevy Camaro Z/28. Both cars had the exact same engine displacement and the exact same horsepower, but the BOSS 302 was not mass-produced like the Z/28. This is an extremely rare example of a real BOSS 302 that is more sought after and desirable while becoming harder to find.

This 1969 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 Fastback (Lot #2049) will cross the auction block in Scottsdale on Tuesday, Jan. 13.

Ron Pratte’s prestigious collection of automobilia will kick off the 44th Annual Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction beginning Saturday, Jan. 10 at 9 a.m. and running through Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 1 p.m. Pratte’s vehicles first cross the block at 4 p.m. on Tuesday with lot numbers 2000 through 2109 and will continue with lot numbers 2500 through 2530 on Saturday, Jan. 17.

 

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

From 1966 through 1972, the original Trans Am series showcased not only some of the best professional road racing ever, but it also spurred the creation of fabulous collector cars like the Ford BOSS Mustang, Plymouth AAR Barracuda, and most memorably, the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.

Both the Trans Am series and the Z/28 took off in 1969 and Chevrolet dealers sold a remarkable 20,302 Z/28s that year. These Z/28s aren’t street legal racers, but they are about the nearest thing to it.

This ’69 Chevrolet Camarao Z/28 (Lot #2035) has been thoroughly restored by Kent Waters Originals. It comes with voluminous documentation certified by Camaro expert Jerry MacNeish, plus photos of the car in 1969 and step-by-step photos of the restoration process. It is finished in authentic and vibrant Rally Green with white racing stripes and a black bucket seat interior. It has a rare NOS Cross-Ram intake manifold, 4.10:1 differential, and many factory options, including Rally Sport trim, rosewood dash inserts, center console with auxiliary gauges and an Endura front bumper.

This ’69 Chevrolet Camarao Z/28 (Lot #2035) will cross the auction block in Scottsdale on Tuesday, Jan. 13.
