For us, one of the best parts of watching the Barrett-Jackson auction proceedings in Arizona is trying to guess the winning bid long before the gavel falls. For the fourth year in a row, you can join us in going head-to-head against the rest of the world’s classic car buffs for prizes as part of the auction’s fantasy bidding game. Hagerty Insurance and Speed have teamed up to allow fans to try their hand at predicting the final price tag of some of the most gorgeous metal on the planet.

All you have to do is sign up over at the fantasy bid site. You can submit your guesses through multiple entries. Fantasy bidding wraps up when the car hits the stage, and players rack up points by getting closest to the actual winning bid without going over. The player who takes home the most points over the four days of the auction will receive a massive prize pack that includes a 46-inch Samsung 3D LCD high-definition TV and a 3D Bluray DVD player.

Second place nets an Xbox 360 with Kinect and the runner up will nab a Sony Cyber-Shot digital camera. Even more impressive, fantasy bidders who grab the most points each day will be awarded a 32-inch Sony HD TV, and the players that get closest to each gaveled price will get the joy of owning a 16-gig iPad.

We’ll be partnering up with Speed for the duration of the auction to bring you up-to-date coverage throughout Friday and Saturday, so stay tuned. Hit the jump for the press blast.
