Custom and Classic Chevy-Powered Collector Cars Rev Up for Barrett-Jackson Northeast AuctionUNCASVILLE, CONN. – June 7, 2018 – Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions®, is revving up the excitement for its 3rd Annual Northeast Auction with an impressive docket filled with custom and classic Chevy-powered collector cars. The collector car auction will once again offer over 600 cars (nearly all at No Reserve) along with over 400 pieces of automobilia (all offered at No Reserve), June 20-23, 2018 at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. Among the wide range of Bowties set to cross the block are a '67 Nova Custom Coupe (Lot #687) nicknamed 'The Innovator' and a Le Mans Blue '69 Camaro Z/28 (Lot #679) that is one of 26 '69 Z/28s to earn the Legend Award from the ACA.

'Among the first vehicles I worked on during my youth were classic Chevys, including my first personal collector car, a '69 Camaro ZL1,' said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. 'They were highly coveted by performance enthusiasts and were among the frontrunners in the muscle car era. Their powerful engines were legendary on the racing circuits and eventually made their way into everyday drivers. The impact these classic muscle cars had on our automotive culture is legendary, and the passion for these cars is evident each time one crosses the block.'

Custom Chevy builds will be a key part of the Northeast auction, including a stunning '69 Camaro Coupe (Lot #655), which started as a rust-free, one-owner car. It was transformed into a custom masterpiece with only the best parts and upgraded components. The body is finished in PPG House of Kolor's Katchme Kopper paint featuring custom flames. Restored by Legendary Motor Car, a Fathom Green custom '69 Camaro Z/28 RS (Lot #651) is powered by a 639hp small-block Chevy engine and includes Budnik custom wheels with Goodyear tires.

'We're assembling an unparalleled docket of Chevrolets for our Northeast Auction,' said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. 'From survivors to customs and masterfully rebuilt models, the breadth of Chevy's already consigned for Mohegan Sun is extensive. And for those guests who want to experience the thrill of today's hottest cars and trucks, Chevrolet will have an interactive exhibit featuring their current models, as well as test drives in their latest vehicles.'
