BARRETT-JACKSON - 
Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, is building a docket that features incredible Chevrolet performance vehicles, both restored and exceptionally built Resto-Mod examples, for its annual Las Vegas Auction, June 30-July 2, at the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Among the most coveted of the early Chevy consignments is the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Split-Window (Lot #733) that is Bloomington Gold Certified and a two-time NCRS Top Flight winner. Click here for Barrett-Jackson’s “First Look” at this Z06.

“Barrett-Jackson has consistently been the leading automotive auction for premium American muscle and sports cars,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We were the first in our industry to recognize the future collectability of American muscle cars and now both original and Resto-Mod versions are the core of collections worldwide. We continue to offer the finest examples of these timeless American vehicles as seen amongst our early consignments for Las Vegas, many of which bear the iconic Bowtie brand.”

The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Split-Window (Lot #733) underwent a no-expense-spared body-off restoration using only correct manufacture’s parts by Andy Cabral in 2019. Until its restoration, the two-time NCRS Top Flight champion was in storage since the mid-1980s. It features the iconic RPO Z06 package, first offered to the public in 1963, and one of only 199 models that year ever produced with it. It is powered by a 360hp engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and the consignor states that it has only 4,295 miles.

Highlighting many of the exceptional Chevrolet Resto-Mods heading to Las Vegas is an immaculate 1969 Camaro Custom convertible (preview) that was completely fabricated and customized from the front to the rear by Camaro Concepts, Inc. This Chevy is powered by its supercharged 6.2-liter GM LT4 V8 crate engine with ported and polished heads backed by its GM 8-speed automatic transmission with an upgraded torque converter. Riding on Schott S7 billet 19-inch wheel, the body and chassis are finished in glossy Silver Spruce with a matte Silver Spruce firewall and underside. The custom leather interior features Dakota Digital gauges, billet door handles, billet steering wheel, Nu-Relics power windows and Vintage Air climate system.

The Resto-Mod Corvettes are well-represented by a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Custom convertible (Lot #738) built by award-winning builder Weaver Customs. Powered by a new GM crate 6.2-liter LS3 engine producing 495hp paired to a 4L75E 4-speed automatic transmission. This Corvette rides on a Roadster Shop chassis with a C7 front end and a C7 independent rear suspension with fully adjustable RideTech coilovers and Schott C7 wheels.

“Continuing what has been a record-breaking year for Barrett-Jackson, we are amassing an spectacular Las Vegas docket for the 2022 Auction,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “Our early consignments are highlighted by many exceptional American-made Chevrolet performance vehicles, and I look forward to seeing the entire docket take shape for what will surely be a can’t-miss Barrett-Jackson event.”

A powerfully built 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Custom coupe (Lot #719) with just 250 miles since completion will also cross the auction block in Las Vegas with No Reserve. Powered by an LS3 engine mated to a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission, the drivetrain is connected to a Chris Alston 4-link rear suspension and Wilwood power disc brakes riding on 18-inch light aluminum alloy wheels.
