Barrett-Jackson auction action heats up as the sun sets on the OC Fair & Events Center.

Now that the auction action is over, everyone knows the new Barrett Jackson Orange County Collector Car event was a huge success. The first auction reported an impressive turnout with strong sales and a great response from the local community.  Restomods, hot rods, exotics and original muscle cars were the most popular among bidders.

Now that word of Barrett’s new location in Southern California has spread like wildfire, the 2011 OC event is bound to be even more exciting.  Attendance should be bigger and the cars even hotter, setting up the auction to be better and the sales even higher.
