FIRST-TIMER’S GUIDE: Going to the Barrett-Jackson 2023 Inaugural New Orleans Auction

We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to the inaugural Barrett-Jackson New Orleans Auction! There’s an abundance of exciting things to explore and participate in during this event, and we want you to enjoy every aspect of it. To make the most of your auction experience and move through the event like a seasoned pro, we’ve put together these valuable tips for you. Let’s dive in and enjoy an unforgettable time together!

BOUT THE AUCTION

The New Orleans Auction is a three-day event held September 28-30 at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, 900 Convention Center Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70130. The auction features hundreds of collector vehicles on display within the air-conditioned convention center, along with over 300 automobilia items, all selling with No Reserve to the highest bidder. The event offers Thrill Rides from Dodge and Toyota on the Barrett-Jackson Performance Track, indoor shopping as part of the vast Exhibitor Marketplace, interactive fun in the Barrett-Jackson Fan Zone, fascinating sponsor displays, and a festival of food and beverages.

PRO TIP: To optimize your event experience, visit Barrett-Jackson.com or download the Barrett-Jackson Live app ahead of the event to see the site map, schedule of events, vehicles and automobilia offered for sale, ticket information and more.

The primary highlight undoubtedly lies in the breathtaking display of collector vehicles. To fully enjoy your visit, allocate ample time to peruse the Lots. A “Lot” represents an individual object or vehicle offered for sale at the auction. You can add your preferred Lots to your “garage” using the Barrett-Jackson Live app, where you’ll have the option to “heart” them. This way, you can conveniently track their selling time and final sale price.

As you venture through the auction site, you’ll notice the auction arena, where all the bidding action unfolds. Just follow the distinctive chant of the auctioneers, and you’ll be in the midst of excitement. To the left of the auction block, you’ll find the staging lanes, offering an up-close and personal view of the vehicles lined up and ready for their turn on the stage.

Another must-see aspect is the Automobilia Auction, where you’ll find an array of nostalgic collectibles up for bidding each day before the collector vehicle auction begins. The Automobilia Auction showcases a delightful assortment, ranging from authentic period-correct neon signs to charming kiddie rides, vintage gas pumps and various other captivating collectibles. Simply strolling through the automobilia display will transport you on a delightful and nostalgic journey down memory lane.

For all the speed enthusiasts out there, check out the exhilarating Barrett-Jackson Performance Track outside the north end of the convention center lobby. This is the place to experience heart-pounding Thrill Rides with skilled professional drivers in the latest vehicles from Dodge and Toyota. And the best part is, Thrill Rides are all included with your admission to the event.

Speed Read: A custom Kawasaki ER-6N from the future and more

The latest motorcycle news, customs and classics
The first two bikes on our list this week prove that there’s customization potential in every motorcycle. A custom Kawasaki ER-6N from Indonesia leads the charge, followed by a custom Buell XB12X Ulysses from Italy. Moto Borgotaro teases us with a stunning 1983 Ducati 600 TT2, and Tamarit proves their mastery of Triumph motorcycles with a menacing Triumph Bobber.

Custom Kawasaki ER-6N by Katros Garage
Kawasaki ER-6N by Katros Garage A quick scroll through Katros Garage’s social media channels yields impressive results. Andi Akbar, the workshop’s founder and proprietor, and his team have been pumping out all manner of custom bikes for some years. From choppers to café racers and everything in between, the Indonesian outfit is one of Southeast Asia’s best.

For this custom Kawasaki ER-6N project, Katros Garage teamed up with Ziko, a fellow Indonesian and professional drift racer. Ziko is partial to a nice motorcycle, but this is his first custom bike, so he wanted it to be as easy to ride as possible. With the brief calling for upright ergonomics, chunky rubber, and futuristic style, the group decided on a street tracker build.

Master Stroke: Purpose Built Moto’s svelte Yamaha XS650 chopper

Yamaha XS650 chopper by Purpose Built Moto
They say that perfect is the enemy of good. But when it comes to high-end custom motorcycles, shouldn’t perfection be the goal? Having never built a custom motorcycle in this style before, that’s the standard that Purpose Built Moto set for themselves with this Yamaha XS650 chopper.

Delays with parts and other builds meant this project took the Australian workshop more than 18 months to complete. The silver lining was that this extensive time frame meant they could pore over every detail in the pursuit of perfection.

“There are plenty of Yamaha XS650 chopper builds out there,” says the workshop’s founder, Tom Gilroy, “but there are very few that look well laid out and finished right. Generally, kit frames make the bike look too long and punch the steering angle out too much. We wanted a fast-handling, performance chopper.”

Purpose Built Moto started by stripping the bike down, lopping the rear half of the frame off, and setting the headstock in a jig with a rake of 27 degrees. Then the real work began.

EXIF Picks: Favorites from Bonhams December 2023 Sale

Bonhams December Sale 2023

Bonhams certainly knows how to pick ’em, and there’s some exceptional iron hiding in the 2023 December Sale. It’s an online-only auction with lots closing as soon as December 11th, boasting exceptional classics, landmark sportbikes, parts and memorabilia. The apple of our eye has to be Lot 128, a sweetheart of a 1974 Ducati 750 GT, but we’ll let you be the judge.

Bonhams December Sale 2023
1990 Norton 588 cc F1 Amid tough financial times in the 1980s, Norton was clinging to utilitarian rotary-powered roadsters like the Interpol 2, the Classic and the Commander to weather the coming years. There was a surprising amount of potential hidden in the humble 588 cc twin-rotor Wankel, though, and the engine would eventually form the basis of the British F1-winning RCW588. Never one to waste an opportunity, Norton debuted a street-legal version of RCW in 1989 dubbed the F1.
