The Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas 2019 auction was held October 3-6 at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, resulting in $33.3 million in total sales and a 100 percent sell-through rate. In total 677 vehicles sold at Barrett’s 12th annual Las Vegas sale, and $560,000 was raised through the sale of charity vehicles. In addition, 352 pieces of automobilia brought in over $855,800, bringing the total auction sales to over $34.8 million.
“Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Auction was an incredible way to cap off our 2019 auction season,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We’re so appreciative of the consignors, bidders, sponsors and guests who played a role in the success of this fantastic event. Not only did we reach another important milestone with our first 100-percent No Reserve collector car and automobilia auction in nearly a decade, we hit a number of auction sales records as well. It was also a true highlight to host Roger Penske, one of the greatest automotive legends of our time. We’re excited to carry the momentum we’ve built up over the year to our 49th Annual Scottsdale Auction in January.”
The top result at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas 2019 went to the 2017 Ford GT that sold for $1,540,000.
