It seems like nothing can stop the Barrett-Jackson juggernaut, not even the negative publicity following last year's Scottsdale auction or the property rights squabble with the City of Scottsdale which had B-J threatening to move elsewhere. The auction firm this week announced that Endeavour Capital of Portland, Oregon has made a significant minority investment in the company, and at the same time revealed an upcoming move to new corporate headquarters in the Scottsdale Airpark area. The building will include a professional photography studio to accommodate its expanding media and merchandising business. In addition to the January Scottsdale auction, Barrett-Jackson produces a major event in Palm Beach and is planning a third venue in Las Vegas next year.
