Bright lights, TV cameras, huge crowds, celebrities, music, food, attractions and "automobilia" on sale. This is the Barrett-Jackson auction. Renown for showcasing some of the world's greatest collector cars, Barrett-Jackson auctions are spectacles that most car lovers can only dream of. Celebrating it's 45th anniversary in 2016, Charlie and Alex decide to partake in the Barrett-Jackson festivities in Scottsdale, AZ. A newbie, Alex describes the carnival-like atmosphere first hand and recommends the best way for a buyer to participate. Throughout the day we encounter several participants, including Aaron Shelby, grandson of the late Carroll Shelby, who was in attendance to buy one of his grandfather's Series-1. We also chat with Mike Kennedy of "Airplane Repo" fame on the Discovery Channel, who flew Burt Reynolds out to the auction help sell the original 1977 "Smokey and the Bandit" Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Finally, we meet up with Ken Block who's in attendance for the auctioning of a 2016 Ford Focus RS to benefit The Junvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and he talks about his work on the Gymkhana video series.
