PALM BEACH, Fla. – March 28, 2018 – Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions®, is ushering in an impressive cavalcade of custom collector vehicles during the 16th Annual Palm Beach Auction, April 12-15, 2018, at the South Florida Fairgrounds. One of the grand marshals of this custom parade includes a spectacular '69 Chevrolet Camaro RS Custom Coupe (Lot #649.1) that just finished a six-figure late-2017 build. The car features a brand-new GM LS3 450hp engine with new GM 4L60E transmission, Gen 5 interior and less than 100 miles since completion.

'We have an unbelievable group of beautifully built customs coming to this year's Palm Beach Auction,' said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. 'Well-built customs have been in high demand over the last several years. They offer the nostalgia of yesteryear, but feature the performance and technology that we love in modern vehicles. Our Florida event will be a custom collector's dream and will include vehicles from every decade since the 1930s.'
