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.

“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.

Matching Numbers 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe Among Prominent Collectible Vehicles Selling at No Reserve During Barrett-Jackson 2022 Scottsdale Auction

BARRETT-JACKSON - Barrett-Jackson will celebrate 50 years of The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions with an extraordinary docket filled with uniquely collectible vehicles, all selling at No Reserve, including a restored 1955 300SL Gullwing Coupe (Lot #1415) during the annual Scottsdale Auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale, January 22-30, 2022. One of only 855 made in 1955, the Gullwing was initially delivered to Havana, Cuba, and subsequently rallied by professional race car driver Santiago “Chaquito” Gonzales.

“Some of the star collectible vehicles crossing the block at No Reserve in Scottsdale come with significant provenance,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “The 1955 300SL Gullwing Coupe is one of those vehicles that we’re truly excited to offer at No Reserve. Not only is this Gullwing one of just 1,400 of a total production run, but its pedigree also includes a first-place win at the 1957 Havana Gran Premio National Race. This is an incredible chance to not just own a significant vehicle but help write the next chapter in its evolving legacy.”

Special ordered from the factory with Strawberry Red Metallic paint, the 1955 300SL Gullwing Coupe (Lot #1415) was delivered to the initial owner, the Ministry of Police in Havana Cuba, on June 16, 1955. After being rallied during the first part of its life, it was purchased in 1961 and imported to the United States. Optional features included factory beige leather, VDO gauges, wood steering wheel and custom aftermarket luggage. It is powered by the original matching-numbers M198 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. This 300SL was restored by the third owner in the 1990s followed by a full engine rebuild by the fourth owner in 2003, and currently has only 59,265 miles.

The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS “Cutaway” Coupe (Lot #1369) is one of only two known “cutaway” promotional display cars used in 1968. Referred to as the “Double Header Car,” it was used by Chevrolet in 1968 to promote the new 1969 Camaro model. The Camaro’s body is a “first day of production body” and much of it is still in its original condition from the time it was modified for display. It features one of the original GM straight-6 cutaway engines and has been kept privately and out of the public eye for 52 years.

“Our bidders will not only have the chance to take home an incredible vehicle from Scottsdale, but also a true piece of automotive history,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “A rich heritage combined with exceptional collectability, many of these vehicles will be the centerpiece of any collection.”

The 1961 Chevrolet Biscayne Fleetmaster 409 (Lot #1291) is reportedly the world’s only 2-door version built and powered by the 409ci engine. It is the only documented 409 Biscayne Fleetmaster known and was ordered new by drag racer Allen May at Capitol Chevrolet in Salem, Oregon. Lot #1312 is one of only 248 1962 Porsche 356B Roadsters that received coachwork by D’Leteren Freres. Finished in black over a tan interior, it is powered by a matching-numbers flat 4-cylinder engine with 4-speed manual transmission.
