Big sales, exciting moments and enthusiastic bidding made for a great Super Saturday at the 2023 Palm Beach Barrett-Jackson Auction! The last of the more than 600 incredible collector vehicles made their way across the stage today, with additional auction world-record sales logged. The top seller was a 2020 @ford GT Heritage Edition (Lot 740) with its $1,457,500 sale. The auction arena went wild on a number of occasions – notably when the first retail production VIN 001 2024 @Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 3LZ (Lot 3000) rolled onto the block. The arena was on its feet when the car sold for $1,100,000 with 100% of the hammer price benefiting @donorschooseorg, an organization committed to education. The generous winning bidder was @NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick. In an especially kind gesture, Michelle Mauzy, noted philanthropist and longtime member of the Barrett-Jackson family, donated an additional $50,000 to the nonprofit, bringing the total raised for DonorsChoose to $1,150,000. Following the exciting moment on stage, Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson, and Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson, were presented with commemorative gavels by Michael Sawaya, president of the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, to celebrate the addition of the inaugural New Orleans Auction, slated for September 28-30, 2023. The day’s second charity vehicle, Lee Iacocca’s 2009 Ford Mustang Iacocca 45th Anniversary Edition (Lot 3001), brought more heartfelt moments to the block when it sold for $150,000. The entire hammer price of this vehicle benefited the Ellis Island Honors Society Inc., which creates scholarships and supports cultural events and programs around the nation. The sale included a painting of the car that was created during the auction. The other big stars of the show that drove today’s top sales included a 2020 Ford GT (Lot 725) and a 2005 Ford GT (Lot 725.1), both from the Steve Todhunter collection, which crossed the block for $990,000 and $440,000, respectively. A 2018 @Porsche 911 GT2 RS (Lot 744) sold for $434,500, while a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette custom convertible (Lot 722) followed with a $401,500 sale.
