The 2017 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas auction will run from October 19th to the 21st. As with any Barrett-Jackson auction, there will hundreds of very interesting cars going to the auction block. There will be three Ford GTs and a 918 Spyder in Brad’s favorite (sarcasm) Martini livery. Add to that the standard Lambos, Ferraris, and Aston supercars. But there is more, a lot more.
There are a number of custom cars and rat-rods. The one that stood out the most to me was this ’72 Caddy “wagon” which has six wheels in a Tyrell P34-like configuration. There are several recreation vehicles, so such this really cool ’75 Airstream Argosy. Classic pickups are dime-a-dozen but there is only one fire truck, ’52 Pumper Engine. One vehicle that should look familiar is the Clarion-created Acura NSX, which you have seen here, here, here, and here.
It’s important to note is that the entire sale price of a 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake will go to a special fund that supports Las Vegas first responders and those affected by the recent tragedy. See the full list of vehicles here and tell us your favorites.

I might have been interested in Lot 114.1 so I could take it to car shows and display it as “Trailer formerly owned by Cal Worthington, as featured on Barrett-Jackson” but no, it’s only available as a package deal with Lot 114, the car sitting on it. I don’t have anything against the Model T, but I really want a TT truck instead.

It is a nice trailer, suitable for carrying three of your vehicles at a time.
I doubt I could bring myself to actually use a trailer with such impressive provenance.
But if I did, four.
There are some cool things here, amidst all the late model Mercedes SLs that previously ferried their sexagenarian owners to the country club for lunch. I’ll take this one…

2 speed auto kills it.

Good lordy, how did I miss that?
That is awesome, but agreed, the tranny is a no-go. Gotta be a manual.
If I was going to build a hot rod it would be a early 50s GM car. Just not in this color and the interior console would have to go. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1951-CHEVROLET-DELUXE-CUSTOM-COUPE-211155 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/62ec5b88c8be5a5c5c200e8074452d701e4bf0ff44d71058e09a3b993fc9592c.png
On the other hand there is a nice looking MGTD which would be more fun to bomb around the moutain roads where I live.
Shame about the painted chrome
I could live with that for awhile, but this interior would be the first project. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bf31c191dfa37cbf1326091574bd53f2febe8f6ce41c5d2a8c36747b75a37968.png
Uff da
My dad and I restored a ’50 coupe (this is a ’51) several years ago, but we kept all of the chrome and painted the body in a very pale tan. I love the look of those cars (though I’d prefer a ’53 Pontiac fastback). Dad still has the car, but regrettably rarely drives it.
I can’t be the only one wanting that awesome 1952 FWD fire engine. So cool.
The wheels belong on a 10 year old lifted F150 driven by a 17 year old, but that would be easily remedied.
