Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auctions is heading to Houston for their latest auction and the docket provides a wide variety of vehicles for purchase.

(Full Disclosure: I am a former Barrett-Jackson employee.)

The auction runs from September 16-18 and will be held at the NRG Center. Side note: The NRG Center is next to the Astrodome and it is on my Bucket List to see the 8th Wonder of the World. Luv Ya Blue!

Sadly though I won’t be able to make it to the Lone Star State and take the auction in person. But I will follow the auction and see how some of the more interesting selections from the docket sell for. I love classic cars but after working in the collector car field you see a lot of Chevelles, Mustangs, various Mercedes and a grip of Bentleys.

I am not complaining about that at all, but the issue is that you can become a bit desensitized when you see a lot of SS Chevelles in pristine condition. Eat ice cream everyday at lunch and you wouldn’t be too stoked to hit up Baskin-Robbins for dessert.

So for me, I dig the unconventional and unique vehicles on any auction docket. They may not have the highest hammer price, but they stick out in a world of Corvettes and Porsches. Here are a few selections that I would gladly purchase if I had won Powerball.
