Future Collectible Car Show Fall 2024

none of us There’s a crystal ball, but if we did this, what do you think it would tell us about the cars that will become collectibles in the future and the people who drive them?

Barrett-Jackson has long been a supporter of the next generation of collector car owners. After all, this hobby needs to continue for decades to come. This is my story from the Future Collectible Car Show (FCCS) in January. Just nine months later, we’re back at FCCS again for the Westworld Barrett-Jackson 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction.

The theme of the FCCS is diversity: 30 different makes of vehicles were registered for the event, with model years ranging from 1965 to 2024. This distribution illustrates the concept that there is no right or wrong answer for year or type of car someone chooses to save and display. The reality is that, like any other material possession, a vehicle can mean very different things to one person than to another. The Future Collectible Car Show is all about telling these stories.

Brent Coleman’s 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage won top honors in “Best in Show.” He put a lot of effort into preparing this car so this award is well deserved. “I’m excited to share the story of this car with everyone this weekend,” Brent said.

The other 12 winning vehicles and their respective owners are as follows:

• Barrett-Jackson Choice – 1999 Nissan Silvia Spec R, owned by David Leden
• Best Electric Modified Car – 2022 Tesla Model Y owned by Noah Snyder
• Period Correct Modification – 1989 Volkswagen Golf Rallye owned by Jason Amiot
• Best preserved – 1993 Mustang Cobra R owned by Jacob Johnson
• Best Purpose Performance – 1991 GMC Cyclone Pickup owned by Randy Koeppel
• Best Restoration – 1994 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution owned by Michael Latimer
• Highline Autos Magazine Presents Elegant Heritage – 1994 Maserati Shamal owned by Mark Nicotera
• STEK USA presents the essence of supercar design and performance – the 1997 Lotus Esprit owned by Tom Hartje
• The most iconic car club – AZ Shelbys
• People’s Choice – 1988 Ford Mustang ASC McLaren Limited Edition owned by Lorenzo Harden
• Rookie of the Year (25 or Under) – 1986 Ford Mustang LX owned by Daidrian Habetler
• Visionary Award – 1990 Consulier GTP LX Targa owned by Johnny Spiva

The level of camaraderie and support at FCCS is high and the participant base spans a wide range of local and national clubs. These include Arizona AMG, Arizona BMG Club, Audi Club AZ, Clean Culture, Desert Dubs, Narcissistic Car Club, OneAuto, Shelby-Dodge Auto Club and many more.

FCCS is such a success thanks in large part to its sponsors, organizers and volunteers. We hope this tradition continues. I was especially excited when host Jhae Pfenning imitated an auctioneer on stage. I overheard him trying to auction off a vehicle in attendance, with bidding starting at $5 and then $100, while people like me in the audience had a good laugh. The relaxed atmosphere helped keep people motivated, especially since it was an unusually warm late summer Sunday in the Valley of the Sun.

Stay tuned for a series of videos where we’ll give you a closer look at some of the standout cars from the event. We’ll even let you meet their proud owners.
