COVID Innovations – Barrett-Jackson Online Only Auction

You can be there will be a reserve on the Mustang.

Barrett-Jackson, noteworthy for collector car auctions, will premiere an online only auction beginning on 8 May 2020. With roughly 75 premium, hand-selected collector vehicles and more than 250 pieces of automobilia, the Barrett-Jackson Online Only May 2020 Auction will be run via an online auction platform, Proxibid.

It is claimed that Proxibid provides bidders and sellers secure online transactions and an infrastructure with 99 percent uptime. Both Reserve and No Reserve options are being offered.

“Barrett-Jackson was the first collector car auction company to introduce live internet bidding to the industry in the early 1990s,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Today, that same innovative spirit has led to our new online auction platform that will deliver the same level of trust digitally as we do in person. All of our bidders will be carefully pre-screened, and our vehicles reviewed with the same care as at our live events, making our online auctions the perfect extension of the Barrett-Jackson experience.”

Online Only will include a collector car auction with a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 (preview) in Candy Apple Red that was one of the first 150 examples built, as well as a custom 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe (preview) built by Jeff Hayes Customs and powered by a GM LS3 540hp with a Hot Cam engine.

Among pieces for sale include are items from the Nicodemus Collection, highlighted by a 14-foot-long 1962 Road Runner Service Stations porcelain with neon service station marquee sign and a 1950s Mobil Oil Pegasus porcelain sign with animated neon.
