Also among the 10 charity vehicles that crossed the Scottsdale block was the first production 2019 Corvette
ZR1 (Lot # 3009) that sold for $925,000. Carolyn and Craig Jackson’s Corvette 35th Anniversary brought in
$350,000 (Lot #3008), and film star Chad McQueen was onstage as the VIN 001 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt
hammered for $300,000 (Lot #3006).
“Charitable giving has been a pillar of Barrett-Jackson going all the way back to 1966 with the first car show
for charity, before we founded the auction company in 1971, and reaching nearly $102 million is an incredible
milestone,” said Craig Jackson. “We are dedicated to continue that tradition through our yearlong charity
initiative, Driven Hearts, to benefit the American Heart Association. We were excited to be joined on the block
by Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association, for the sale of our personal Corvette, which raised
an astounding $350,000 for this important cause. Then the winning bidder donated the car back to be resold
at one of our future auctions. It was a great way to kick off Driven Hearts, which will continue to be at the core
of every Barrett-Jackson event this year.”
