Barrett-Jackson collector car auction boasted a huge sale during the company’s inaugural Columbus Auction, held June 25-27, at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds. The Columbus Auction featured a docket of 550 collectible vehicles that generated more than $37 million in vehicle auction sales with 100% sell-through. Two vehicles sold for a combined $240,000 to benefit charity, bringing the total amount Barrett-Jackson has helped raise over the years to more than $172 million. During the three-day auction, Barrett-Jackson also sold 255 pieces of authentic automobilia for more than $1.1 million, generating total auction sales of $38.1 million.
The 2026 Columbus Auction showcased a diverse lineup, including nostalgic Americana, record-setting muscle cars, and elite supercars and hypercars.
“We chose Columbus as our newest destination because it’s a location where the passion for collector cars runs deep,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “From the moment the doors opened, the Columbus Auction captured the exact same look, feel and energy as our iconic Scottsdale Auction. The incredible turnout by fans, bidders and consignors, and the remarkable sales over these three days, proved that the Buckeye State was revved up to make collector car history with us. Our diverse docket featured 550 collectible vehicles, with late-model supercars, original and professionally restored 1960s muscle cars, as well as custom trucks, commanding premium bids. Of course, the excitement peaked on Super Saturday with the $2.695 million sale of a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder and an original 1969 Boss 429 that hammered in at $1.045 million – marking a new Boss 429 world auction record.”
