Wednesday: convertibles and trucks set the tone

Early-week Top 10 featured drivers’ cars like a 1975 Porsche 914 Targa, 1968 Dodge Dart GT Convertible, Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler, Cadillac XLR, and 1995 Ford Bronco XLT—a broad mix that previewed the week’s variety. 

On-site experience: new fan energy

Beyond the block, Barrett-Jackson debuted new fan-focused spaces—a Fan Zone with lounge seating and entertainment, plus a rotating Car Club Corral showcasing local club metal. It made hanging out between lots genuinely fun and felt tailor-made for community builders like us. 

Charity moment worth noting

Friday’s 2022 Camaro SS Pace Car raised $150,000 for the American Cancer Society, underscoring Barrett-Jackson’s ongoing charitable streak and the generosity of this community. 

The RumbleSeat angle

We were there all four days—filming walk-throughs, taking notes on bidder behavior, and collecting stories from consignors and clubs. Here’s what we’ll take into our marketplace and club tools:

• Modern American exotics have momentum. The Ford GT trio headlining Saturday says plenty about demand for limited, track-bred halo cars. 

• Taste for high-quality customs is durable. From Tri-Fives to Broncos, well-executed customs continue to command strong bids across multiple days. 

• Community matters. The Fan Zone and Car Club Corral worked—they kept enthusiasts engaged and clubs visible, aligning with how we’re building RumbleSeat’s club and events features. 

What’s next

Barrett-Jackson returns to Scottsdale January 17–25, 2026. We’ll be there, and we’ll keep translating auction-floor insights into better tools for clubs, registries, and sellers on RumbleSeat.
