It may just have been a marriage made in heaven.<br \/>\nHot August Nights is noted for its city-wide celebration of hot rod and custom cars with major properties in Reno sponsoring a succession of shows, concerts and parties for thousands of cars. The roads leading to Reno, particularly over the Sierras from California, are crowded with carloads of car people heading to Reno to take part in the days-long party.<br \/>\nComing, as it usually does, the weekend before the car world centers its attention on the Monterey peninsula, Hot August Nights represents the other end of the pendulum\u2019s swing, a populous, popular people place where the emphasis is on hands-on participation with hand-built, individual cars.<br \/>\nBarrett-Jackson contributed its resources and marketing muscle to create a unifying spectacle, bringing the multiple properties\u2019 individual events together to choose the \u2018Barrett-Jackson Cup\u2019, the best custom or hot rod at Hot August Nights.<br \/>\nThe Cup\u2019s judges visited the four participating properties, the Eldorado, Silver Legacy, Circus Circus and Harrah\u2019s, selecting fifteen daily winners. Those were then narrowed to five which were driven onto the Barrett-Jackson auction block at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center Saturday evening after the auction. The judges then selected the best.<br \/>\nThe fact that it turned out to be a 1969 Ford Torino built by Troy Trepanier for George Poteet which was then taken to Bonneville to run on the salt the following Tuesday made for a perfect selection.<br \/>\nThe Barrett-Jackson Cup meshed perfectly with the diverse Hot August Nights activities and instantly integrated Barrett-Jackson with this previously diffuse car week.<br \/>\nThey also brought a typically diverse, mostly No Reserve (there were about half a dozen cars with reserves, only one of which didn&#8217;t sell) Barrett-Jackson consignment to the Reno-Sparks docket. It wasn\u2019t, as might have been expected, unusually heavy on rods and customs.<br \/>\nThe results below compare this year\u2019s inaugural Barrett-Jackson Hot August Nights sale with the Orange County auction it replaced on Barrett-Jackson\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Barrett-Jackson Hot August Nights Reno 2013 &#8211; Auction Report<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_729233\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-729233\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/001.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-729233\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/001.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/001-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/001-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/001-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/001-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-729233\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lot # 18 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 4-Dr. Sedan; S\/N SRA12199; Silver, Sable\/Dark Red leather; Visually maintained, largely original, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $20,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $22,000.

This is a very good, desirably equipped example with lots going for it, not least its thorough restoration.

A little over the top. \u2013 This is a lovely Nova that should go like the wind with its L79 small block and 4-speed, but it\u2019s unfortunate that the restorer chose to give it a clumsy restamp even while honestly describing it as a later date-coded replacement block. That didn\u2019t seem to deter the Reno bidders, however, who appreciated this car for its outstanding appearance. It is fully but not excessively valued at this price.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_729265\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-729265\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/034-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-729265\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/034-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/034-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/034-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/034-1-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/034-1-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/034-1-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-729265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lot # 711 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird 2-Dr. Hardtop; S\/N RM23V0A171645; Orange, Black vinyl roof\/Black vinyl; Modified restoration, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $70,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $77,000.
