Craig Jackson, CEO of Barrett-Jackson, the company that held the auction, told The Hollywood Reporter, "Paul Walker has been compared to a modern-day Steve McQueen, who lived his passion for racing in every aspect of his life. He has inspired entire generations of car lovers. We worked closely with a close friend of Paul’s who helped care for Paul’s collection following his death. ‘He was responsible for consigning and prepping the vehicles for the auction. Paul’s daughter, Meadow, kept a few vehicles she had a connection with."

Among the collection, the biggest attraction included a series of five white BMW M3 Lightweight Editions (a rare version that only 126 were made). The 1995 E36, with just 4,600 miles was sold for $385,000 while, the other four drew fetched between $220,000 to $258,500. Craig added, "Paul was a racer at heart.
