Thought I'd take a few moments to introduce myself: my name is Muffy Bennett; formerly I was a professional "flipper" of cars, until I was asked to open a full-service retail classic car dealership division for Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona. Some girls like shoes and purses; I have an obsession for things with wheels.... Looking forward to furthering my education in this passion-filled hobby. Thanks for having me! xo
Welcome to the HAMB....very daring of you in choice of "Muffy" for a name..unless your a super friend of Hillary C.
What is a full service Barrett Jackson division? I thought all the cars had to be out of the state within 24 hours of sale. Bob
Welcome to the HAMB, You have a very neat name. I wish more lady s would get into cars ! I bought my wife a black Mustang convert and she really enjoys it! Again welcome Don in Indiana
It's not part of the auction per se, but a full-service retail dealership facility wherein I buy cars and accept them for consignment for resale to the general public. (I don't purchase inventory from the auction) We also sell Barrett-Jackson merchandise, and offer a service/repair department for classic, customs and resto-mod cars. We also help with auction consignments, assist with bidder registration, and field auction queries. It's a very small facility, but is doing very well. (To clarify, an auction car buyer usually has a couple of days after the auction ends to pick up his or her vehicle after payment of same.)
Thank you for the warm welcome, Donald! Wish there were more ladies in the hobby, too! (Sounds like your wife rolls in a classy ride!) [emoji6]
Welcome, Muffy. Judging from your photo gallery you hang with some pretty important folks.......................Don.
Meh, they all put their pants on one leg at a time...just like you and I.... The "important folks" are the ones who share the same passion as I; people like YOU, and the rest who are involved in this site, for starters. It is your passion that provides me with a job in an industry that I love, and for this I am extremely grateful!! [emoji6]
-blushing- Some girls like shoes and purses...my vice is anything with wheels. (I have two motorcycles in the dining room alone....) [emoji6]
WELCOME! Just might have to stop in and say high sometime where I make the trip out the the auction. Ya got to love a lady that likes hot rods and bikes...Plus she likes guns and that is great FOR SURE.
Hey, 383deuce- I will most likely be minding the dealership booth during the January 2016 auction; the dealership will probably be closed. To that end, please drop by the booth when you're there, and if you don't see a 6' tall blonde chick, then please be sure to ask someone there about me! (I look forward to meeting you!) xo
Welcome to the HAMB Muffy. We met at the Forest Grove Concours in Oregon. You inquired about a 1931 Chrysler Imperial Dual Cowl that I was showing.
