With Barrett-Jackson, Mecum, and all the others constantly in the spotlight all over the country, it’s hard to believe that Southern California hasn’t had one of their own. Thanks to Auctions America, that is going to change this weekend and you HAVE to come check out the cars, because some are expected to go for real car guy affordable prices, and the auction includes all kinds of stuff you’ll like. We have even been told that there are some drivers in the auction that will be great projects and should go for something like $5,000! That’s almost affordable enough for US to look at buying. And if you can’t make it out for the auction this weekend it is going to be on the NBC Sports Network Friday and Saturday. But you have to come down and check this place out and you have to look at the electronic catalog, it’s awesome.

This auction marks the first major auto auction to be held in Los Angeles in many years.  There are over 400 cars going across the auction block over the auction’s three day run, including some very cool Hot Rods, Customs, muscle cars, and other unique vehicles (many of them without a reserve).  NBC will also be providing live coverage of the event on Friday and Saturday.  Jay Leno will also be there as a guest commentator for the Saturday auction.  There are also around 40 different vehicles from the Jim Carr Napa Valley Barn Find Collection that will be going up for auction at this event.

Here are some of the really cool and unique cars of the auction, but keep in mind there are 400 and you can check them all out by clicking through the ultra bitchin electronic catalog, HERE.

• The Hollywood Hot Rods built “Respect Tradition” ’32 Ford Roadster – Lot #787 (more info) – If you don’t know this car you have been living under a rock for the past couple years. Arguably the most famous build ever to come out of Hollywood Hot Rods.
