Originally it was the Tom Barrett Auction, now it's B-J = Tom Barrett & Chris Jackson.
I don't know Jackson's history, but Tom Barrett has been a major collector of Classic Cars (Duesenbergs, Packards, etc) in the Scottsdale AZ area since the 1960's.

By the way...the terms Muscle Car & Pony Car have become muddled over the last 20 years or so.
Originally
Muscle Car = Midsized car: Torino / Olds 442 / Challenger / Montego, etc with a large full sized passenger car engine.
First Muscle Car: 1964 Pontiac GTO 389. The 389 engine came from the full sized Pontiac Catalina.
The GTO itself was initially an upscale Pontiac Tempest model.
Pony Car: The term is derived from the Mustang and refers to it and its competition: Cougar / Camaro / Trans-Am / Barracuda / Javelin / AMX, etc.
I passed on a celebrity owned 1956 300 SL Gullwing in the 1960's. The car was for sale in West LA for $4,000.00.
Oh well...Canadian Pontiac: Parisienne.

The original owner? Very cool! Incidentally, make sure you get any documentation that confirms the ownership papertrail, dealer invoices, factory options lists, etc. Nowadays I am seeing that any supporting documents make the car more valuable versus cars that don't have such documentation.
