The 9 Most Expensive Chevy Trucks To Be Sold At Barrett-Jackson

Chevrolet is celebrating 100 years of truck production by taking a look back at the most expensive trucks sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction.

"Vintage trucks, especially Chevrolets, have been gaining popularity with collectors, to the point they are rivaling muscle cars," commented Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson Auction.

"What's interesting is collectors are looking for very different vehicles: The most collectible muscle cars are numbers-matching survivors; the most sought-after vintage trucks are full custom builds, and buyers are looking for both unique design elements and high-quality craftsmanship," Jackson added.

So, let's take a look at the list with the nine most expensive Chevy trucks from Barrett-Jackson to date:

1. 1957 Chevrolet 3100 Custom Truck: $214,500 in 2016
