Custom Car Values On The Rise at 2018 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale

0
By Steve Chryssos on January 30, 2018 All Stories, Latest News

It’s a great time to own a custom car or truck. We all have access to the greatest parts in the history of our great hobby. It’s easier than ever to build a hot rod that looks like a masterpiece and performs like a well-trained triathlete. It’s no surprise, then, that the values of custom cars and trucks are on the rise. Don’t bet on the farm, but the rise in values makes it a little easier to justify investing blood, sweat, time and money into building your dream machine. It was especially interesting to see the new owners of auction vehicles stop by the RideTech display by to learn about the suspension in their freshly purchased.  As is the case at every event, we were happy to check out their vehicles to demo features and discuss upgrades. There were more than 1700 vehicles for sale at the 2018 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale sale. Here are just some of the “RideTech Rides” that crossed the block.
