What to Expect at the Barret-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach 2018!

TFX International

March 28, 2018

If you’re a real car aficionado, you surely know about the Barret-Jackson car auction that takes place every year in various cities around the United States. In started in the early 60s when Russ Jackson and Tom Barret met for the first time. Having forged a friendship based on their mutual love of cars, they held their first event in 1967 called the “Fiesta de los Autos Elegantes,” which was a car parade designed to raise money for the Scottsdale Art center. Since then, their car auctions have continued to fuel their commitment to philanthropy year after year. If you plan on taking part in one of these events and are in need of vehicle shipping to the USA, TFX International has you covered. Let’s take a look at some of the scheduled events for the Palm Beach auction and which cars we expect to see in 2018.

It’s been extremely well preserved and extensively serviced for touring purposes with virtually no blemishes on the entire body. It’s a must-see for anyone with a love for older cars.
  3. 1965 Ford Mustang Custom Fastback
    For some, classic cars are synonymous with old American muscle. This black beauty with a red interior features a 5-speed manual transmission, 4 disc brakes and 17” wheels. With less than 200 miles on its rebuilt engine, it’s a must-see for any fan of the classic muscle car.
