With 70,000 in attendance, Barrett-Jackson's Collector Car Show & Auction at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas last weekend drummed up a record $32 million in sales, a 41 percent increase from last year.
Clay Walker performed at the extravaganza, which helped drum up $500,000 for Wounded Warriors Family Support. What's more, $95,000 was donated to Siegfried and Roy’s SARMOTI Foundation.
Other celebs on hand included Mike Tyson, X-Men director Bryan Singer and 2012 Playboy Playmate of the year Jaclyn Swedberg.
“Results from the Las Vegas auction demonstrate that the collector car market is incredibly strong within all segments of the hobby,” the company's CEO Craig Jackson said. “In addition to the impressive sales numbers, Barrett-Jackson continues to set the trend in the collector car market by providing incredible vehicles to car enthusiasts and continues to give all audiences compelling charitable moments, celebrity appearances and activities for everyone.”
