Barrett-Jackson Auctions comes to Palm Beach, Florida this weekend for car sales on April 11-13, 2014, just before Easter. They have a variety of cars for sale and provide live coverage from Fox Sports 1 and National Geographic for over twenty hours.
Barrett-Jackson is a great auction house and runs a well organized operation. Their cars are well presented and the action is brisk. It is a great show and definitely not one to miss.
Preview
We had the chance to preview some cars at a recent Goodguys event and here are some of our picks.
This 1971 Oldsmobile 442 is a numbers matching convertible. The OLDS 445 engine links to a manual four speed and comes with factory optioned air conditioning, power steering, power lift top for the convertible and power front disk brakes. The black paint is flawless and is coming from NASCAR’s Rick Hendrick.
Corvette
You can’t go wrong buying or selling a Corvette at Barrett-Jackson and this silver beauty looks great. It too has a four speed, naturally, matched up to a 427 Chevy engine. It has lots of documentation and awards but the coupe would be a neat drive even without all the restoration efforts.
1957 Chevy Bel Air
Finally, readers know we like 57 Chevy’s here at Route 66 PubCo and this white convertible looks great. It is one of eight 1957 Chevy Bel Air’s selling this weekend at Barrett-Jackson. The 283 engine is updated to fuel injection, which is a sure way to bump up the fun and the price of these classics. It comes with a correct red and silver interior.
Check out the auction and let us know your favorite.
