The Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale will take place over eight days incorporating special events, displays and activities. The auction will feature more than 1,000 collector and special interest automobiles from all years being auctioned off at No Reserve, as well as daily "automobilia" auctions. Over 350 vendors and exhibitors will also be on hand.

Despite a sluggish economy, the 2011 Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson Auction raised nearly $4 million for 20 local and national charitable causes. The collector car auction beat sales from the previous year, generating almost $70 million in sales of about 1,200 vehicles at no reserve.
