Barrett Jackson Scottsdale Auction Last Nite (1/29/16)...

[jmsc]

auctioned off the new 2017 NSX. A Maroon Red VIN 001 sold to racing owner (and Honda Dealer) Rick Hendricks.

Anyone else see this on Velocity?

Car looked fabulous in HD, under camera lights and sporting a super-gloss that looked like nothing that I`ve ever seen before. Too bad its MSRP starts at ~$157K+.

Lots of GM cars but few European autos. Corvettes, Burt Reynolds, John/Courtney Force and Jay Leno were prominent. But the `17 NSX stole the show I thought.

I always watch the auctions. I was a big fan of the Meecum auctions. With Meecum it was more about the cars, Barrett-Jackson seems to always be promoting something. Just saw Burt Reynolds and a Bandit Trans-Am. The car sold for half a mil! Way too much for a Trans-Am.

I live walking distance to the B-J show here in Scottsdale. Never been there for the show. I`ve got to make time next year.

Here is a picture of the Hendricks car. I was right next to him when he bid. Was awesome.

It`s a pretty sweet looking car. Love that the proceeds go to a good cause. Those old NSX`s are one of those cars that just have a timeless design. They`re always gonna look good and turn heads

They had a bit on that car earlier in the week. I`m pretty sure they said the winning bidder would get to chose the paint color and they`d attach VIN #0001 to that car.

The red looked great on TV. I think that car`s going to be a big hit for them !
