Lessons from Barrett-Jackson: Drive the Bid Podcast

Have you been to the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction before? On this week’s AutoHunter Drive the Bid Podcast, Derek Shiekhi and I discuss things we’ve learned by attending one of the auctions at Westworld. Being able to see the inner workings of the auction is an eye-opener, something that seeing the auction on TV doesn’t afford. A car may appear concours in front of a camera but, in front of your eyes, it’s much easier to deduce a vehicle’s condition and correctness.

I also discussed my experience driving in Colombia, my wife’s homeland. In case it needs to be said, they drive like crazy over there!

News included Derek’s take on Jeep’s announcement that the Wrangler Rubicon 392 will be discontinued. Will there be a “Last Call” the same way Dodge handled the Challenger and Charger models? I myself discussed Lamborghini’s achievement of selling over 10,000 units for 2023. Would it be any surprise 60 percent of them were Urus SUVs?

Drive the Bid Podcast concludes with several AutoHunter Picks including a 426 Hemi-powered 1971 Plymouth Barracuda pro-tourer, 715-mile 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51, 1969 Ford Mustang Mach I, and 1978 Dodge W150 Power Wagon 4×4.
