If it’s January then it’s Arizona auction time, and Barrett-Jackson aims to celebrate that fact with Forza Motorsport 7. Barrett’s not the only game going in Arizona, but they’re the big dog and they put a point on that with marketing moves such as this. Even better for gamers, the expansion pack adds an eclectic mix of cars to the Forza portfolio.

The pack includes seven cars, each chosen by the tam at Barrett-Jackson. It includes a 1932 Ford Custom “Double Down”, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport Barrett-Jackson Edition (alright, alright, alright), 1963 Shelby Monaco King Cobra and more.
