2008 barrett jackson mustang auction preview

It’s almost that time of year again, time for one of my favorite events, the 37th annual Barrett Jackson Collector Car Auction.

It’s almost that time of year again, time for one of my favorite events, the 37th annual Barrett Jackson Collector Car Auction. The 2008 Barrett-Jackson auction takes place every year in the middle of January in Scottsdale, Arizona and for car collectors it’s the Super Bowl of auto auctions. This auction draws out collectors and celebrities from all over the world. This years auction is being held on January 12 - 20th and will encompass special events, displays and activites for everybody who attends. A schedule of events can be found at Barrett-Jackson.com along with ticket and other information.

Some of you might know that I have attended the last few years but this one I will have to sit out due to some previous commitments. Don’t worry though Speed will have great coverage for the whole auction and with TIVO it makes for some nice late night viewing.

This years auction is much of the same with just a shade under 100 Mustangs and Shelbys that will go on the auction block for the 2008 show with live auctions starting January 15 and carrying through the 20th.

Some of the highlighted Mustangs on the auction block this year include Carroll Shelby’s personal 1969 Shelby GT500 Convertible, a 2008 Shelby GT500KR #001, Patrick Dempsey’s FR500C Racecar, the 2007 Shelby GT500 Anniversary Prototype along with many 60’s era Shelby GT500 & GT350’s.

Speed Channel will be covering the whole event from January 12th through the final auction on January 20th. Live coverage of auctions will take place just like previous years.  After the jump you will find the complete list of Mustangs including their lot numbrs, auction day and link to more information on each model.  Enjoy….
