Barrett-Jackson posted the strongest sales results in the history of its auctions in Palm Beach, Fla., this past weekend.

Officials highlighted that Ford and General Motors partnered with Barrett-Jackson to bring unique vehicles to the auction. Barrett-Jackson chairman and chief executive officer Craig Jackson noted on Monday that consignments reached a new high, the caliber of vehicles in South Florida was unprecedented and the average price per car grew significantly.

In addition, Jackson mentioned the benefit to national and local charitable organizations was significant. 

“Each year, Palm Beach continues to expand its impact, bringing better cars, more fans and growth. We have enjoyed the years here and this year was a stellar showing, which continues the explosive start we had in Scottsdale,” Jackson said

“This week, we had great entertainment, saw some incredible cars and sold seven special vehicles with all proceeds benefitting the designated charities. We have a strong partnership with Palm Beach and the South Florida Fairgrounds and this week demonstrated that relationship,” he went on to say.

For charity, the company determined more than $2.35 million was raised over the three-day auction.

Ford sold the 2013 Ford Mustang Fastback, which appeared in “Need for Speed,” for $300,000.

GM sold the first retail production vehicles of the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 2 Door Coupe for $500,000 and the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2 Door Coupe for $1 million.

The charities that benefited from these sales included:

— Rebuilding Together
— The Darrell Gwynn Foundation
— AARP Drive to End Hunger
— Henry Ford Health System
— Karmanos Cancer Institute
— The Cancer Research Fund at TGEN
— Boy Scouts of America Occoneechee Council

“The cars we saw in Palm Beach were unlike any previous year. These cars we are now seeing are truly unique,” Barrett-Jackson president Steve Davis said.

“Through the years, coming to the Fairgrounds, we have seen glimpses of how Palm Beach would grow and evolve. This auction weekend was another example of this special market,” Davis continued.

The opening night gala featured Soul Survivors, with a special appearance by pop sensation, Rob Van Winkle, formerly known as “Vanilla Ice,” who rocked the night and jump-started the auction weekend for the VIPs, media, celebrities and other attendees.
