Over the weekend, Reno, Nevada saw the first inaugural Barrett-Jackson Reno Tahoe event. The prestigious auction teamed up with Hot August Nights to bring the town three days of incredible sights. And needless to say, this auction was a hit.
Our (duPont REGISTRY) booth at the event displayed some amazing clients who brought some examples of their products. Lamborghini Las Vegas brought an all-new Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. A bright green custom Jeep was brought in by Starwood Motors. Behind the Jeep and Roadster was a luxurious Airstream Touring Coach. Also on scene was a motorcycle brought by FIST Enterprises which started by a swipe of it’s owner’s fingertips, and the sleek carbon-fiber Z-Clip moneyclips.
In the first two days, Barrett-Jackson sold 205 cars for over $5,000,000, an impressive feat for the inaugural auction. Helping reach such high numbers were an abundance of vehicles selling for six-figures.
