So last week I went through the auction docket for Barret-Jackson Scottsdale 2020 and predicted that one triple-white 79 vert would go for $20K. Oh my god how wrong I was!

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this week!
So this week is Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. Let’s see what’s up and coming on the block to see how people bid. There’s a crap ton of VW’s so many it is hard to comment on them all. Some ones I’ll be interested in following the sale on… 1972 VW Beetle Custom – No reserve. I don’t…

Wait! Did You See That? No. 2
