The Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Auction 2012 was held September 20-22 at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, resulting in more than $23 million in total sales.
More than 68,000 car enthusiasts attended the 5th annual Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas sale, representing over a 10% increase from the year before. The top result at the auction, which featured nearly 525 vehicles, went to a 1967 Mustang Shelby Super Snake that sold for $330,000, followed by the 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird which fetched $297,000 and a 1967 Ford Mustang Custom Fastback that brought $275,000.
Other notable results included a 1970 Shelby GT500 that sold for $220,000 and a 1962 Lincoln Continental Convertible that made $113,300, the highest sales for vehicles of their kind.
“As each car crossed the auction block this past weekend, you could feel the excitement and enthusiasm in the air amongst our bidders, consignors and the animated Las Vegas crowd,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman and CEO, Barrett-Jackson. “Several consignors waited on the sidelines because of the uncertainty in the world market and after seeing the results, they are eager for our Scottsdale show early next year. The collector car market proves to be stronger than ever and we look forward to an exciting auction in Scottsdale where we have a great collection of vehicles being sold.”
