“Charity and Moments for Millions of Dollars: Barrett-Jackson 2025 sets records in Scotsdale”
The automotive world witnessed the story during Barrett-Jackson’s electrifying “Super Saturday” at the auction in Scottsdale in 2025 on January 25, where adrenaline and generosity combined to break records and bring millions for charity. The leading line of the day was the auction of the first manufactured Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 of 2025 at retail, VIN 001, which was sold for the amazing $ 3.7 million. The owner of the NASCAR team Rick Hendrick, a dedicated philanthropist and legend of motor sports, provided the car, with 100% of its price in favor of the US Red Cross – providing critical assistance to victims of forest fires and hurricanes in the United States
Charity was not the only exciting element; The crowd erupted in applause for another humanitarian triumph. The 1962 personalized Dodge Power Wagon, called “Project Sweat,” was sold for $ 1.5 million, with each dollar helping the Mikerowworks Foundation. The show’s presenter Mike Rowe from Dirty work Fame stood visibly excited when the hammer fell, honoring his commitment to support qualified professions through education and development of the workforce.
Overflowing with stunning moments, the event also saw the sale of Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster from $ 2023 for $ 2.2 million, making it the best collectible car purchase for the day. The club for millions of dollars joined icons such as Pagani Huayra from 2014 ($ 1.925 million), the amazing Ford GT Liquid Carbon Special Edition of 2020 at DJ Marshmello ($ 1.76 million) and the historic Mercedes-BENZ since 1956 ($ 1.402 million).
Adding a sincere emotion was a special VIP experience for 13-year-old Cameron, a car enthusiast, fighting cancer via Make-A-Wish Arizona. Cameron’s unforgettable day involved hitting the auction hammer and a walk with Plymouth Hemi Superbird from 1970, fulfilling a dream of lifetime.
The scene was not devoid of star force, as the appearance of four -time NASCAR CUP champion Jeff Gordon, legendary designer Peter Brock and car vision Jesse James added a sparkle to the success of the day. Meanwhile, worshiping the craftsmanship, Hotrod’s designers competed for the Barrett-Jackson Cup, where the 1968 Classic Car Studio Dodge Charger won the Best in the Show, with $ 20,000 in the process.
From record sales of cars to the auction for Automobilia Auction collecting items, showing live treasures-including the Texaco gas pump from the 1920s, which brought $ 78,200, enthusiasm never subsides. Still, Barrett-Jackson’s super Saturday was not only for cars, but also for the collective passion for impact, which continued after the evening. The records were shattered by over $ 5.2 million raised for charity, and the excitement continued as the auction in Scottsdale ended on Sunday.
With so many extraordinary stories, cars and moments collected in one day, the Barrett-Jackson 2025 gave a sound tone for next year in the world of collector cars.
