Custom painted cars are a real delight as they give both the artists and the drivers a chance to sport a new style and display art on a canvas that reaches out to everyone on the street. This 1981 Buick Classic though is a lot more than the Full Mullet Airbrush Mural on top that makes it different and special. It also comes with power packed performance under the hood by sporting the original prototype Gale Banks Buick turbocharged V6 engine. If that is indeed the engine this 81 Buick is sporting (And we have no reason to doubt the claims), then this is more than worth its price tag of $200,000.

The car though is all about the custom mural job on top that really steals the show and makes it stand out from the crowd. If you have a liking for vintage wheels and like the combination of airbrush with powerful engine and plenty of tradition, then this 1981 Buick Regal is the car for you.

This year was no different with the collective price of all cars amounting to an absolute whooping $29 million. The heart of the show was the 1949 MG TC Roadster Race Car, which went for $313,500. The car looks absolutely as shiny as it must have when it first made its way out on to the road. Driven by the legendary Carroll Shelby the first time he participated in a road race in 1952, the car is legendary for its stint in racing and who can pass on such spectacular wheels that actually sport Number 23!

There is no doubt that vintage cars are really going for far more than many modern cars with cutting edge technology. It is no surprise either with the pride that car lovers take in collecting them. But the Barret-Jackson Collector Car Event once again proved that sometimes old cars can be worth more than a fortune.
