Barrett-Jackson Revs Up for 2026 Auction!
The world's greatest collector car auction returns to the Arizona desert as Barrett-Jackson takes over WestWorld of Scottsdale from January 17-25, 2026. This nine-day automotive extravaganza brings together car enthusiasts, collectors, and celebrities from around the globe for an unforgettable celebration of automotive culture.
Widely regarded as a barometer of the collector car industry, the Scottsdale Auction showcases thousands of the most sought-after, unique, and valuable automobiles crossing the block before a live audience and millions of television viewers on FYI and HISTORY channels.
The festivities begin a day early on Friday, January 16, with the Rock The Block concert headlined by country superstar Cole Swindell. This kickoff event sets the tone for an action-packed week ahead.
This year's docket features an impressive lineup of professionally built customs and restomods that push automotive artistry to new heights. Highlights include a 900-horsepower 1970 Plymouth Barracuda powered by an actual NASCAR V8 engine, and a stunning 1965 Mustang fastback featuring a stack-injected Coyote V-8 under a carbon fiber body. History enthusiasts can bid on two classic Mercurys built by Joe Bailon, the legendary customizer who invented Candy Apple Red paint.
Beyond the auction block, attendees can explore a vast Exhibitor Marketplace, experience thrill rides in the latest vehicles from top automakers, and enjoy premium food and beverage options throughout the venue. VIP experiences offer behind-the-scenes tours, staging lane access, and exclusive hospitality in Craig Jackson's Skybox.
Barrett-Jackson's commitment to charity remains a cornerstone of every auction. Having raised over 150 million dollars for charitable causes since 1971, the company waives all fees on charity vehicles, ensuring every dollar goes directly to worthy organizations.
Gates open daily at 8 a.m. with complimentary parking available. The event operates cashless, accepting credit and debit cards throughout the venue.
Whether you're a serious bidder or simply want to witness automotive history, Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale delivers an experience like no other.
