Barrett-Jackson auctions are a car guy’s heaven. Well, a rich car guy.
Some of the most exotic and rare cars in the world drive across the stage and many fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The 3rd Annual Hot August Nights Auction presented by Barrett-Jackson will feature a selection of unique custom trucks at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, Aug. 6-8. Below is just a sampling of the pickups expected to hit the block in August, and you can bet there will also be some heavily customized and restored sports cars mixed in, too. I mean, hey, it’s a Barrett-Jackson auction.
