Legendary GM Designer's Personal Car Among 1,750 Vehicles Up for Bid in May
MARENGO, Ill. - The number of significant vehicle consignments continues to grow for Dana Mecum's 23rd Original Spring Classic Auction as the team prepares to offer the historically significant 1963 Harley J. Earl Corvette (Lot S116) on Saturday, May 22 at 2:35 p.m., in Indianapolis, Ind.
"This is an unbelievable opportunity for racecar drivers, collectors and enthusiasts to own the vehicle that was specifically built for the namesake of the Harley J. Earl Daytona 500 Trophy," said President Dana Mecum. "Created by General Motors as a gift for their former designer Harley J. Earl, this one-of-a-kind factory special convertible is a unique piece of Corvette history that we are excited to auction at our Indy event, right in the heart of motorsports country."
Earl established himself as the dean of Detroit stylists during his career at GM, where he unveiled his concept for the Corvette in 1953 and cemented its image as America's sports car. A friend of NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., Earl designed the prestigious Daytona 500 winner's trophy and had it sculpted inside his Michigan design studio during an illustrious time in American automotive history.
A 1963-based Corvette featuring a 327 cubic inch engine, the Harley J. Earl Corvette boasts a 4-speed manual transmission; distinct dual instrument panels and stainless steel side-exit exhausts that sprout from behind the front wheel wells; and chrome trim, exterior emblems, interior control knobs and four-wheel disc brakes that are all pre-production 1965 parts. A hand-written number code inside the door trim panel confirms Shop Order (S.O.) 10323, indicating a special hand-built, one-of-a-kind Corvette.
In February 1963, this unique Sting Ray served as a parade car at the Daytona 500. After two years of owning the car, Earl sold it to a retired Maryland Army veteran. The vehicle resurfaced a decade later, eventually showing up at the Corvettes at Carlisle meet. In 1981, middle school teacher and Corvette enthusiast Joe Clark bought the car from the group of amateur racers who owned it and began researching its history. Today, the Corvette has been restored to its original medium Blue custom leather interiors with White seat trim and Metallic Blue exterior with White trim.
The Harley J. Earl Corvette joins more than 1,750 vehicles that will cross the block during Mecum's Spring Classic Auction. To view a complete list, visit www.Mecum.com. Mecum will also offer a variety of collectible neon signs, which have grown in both popularity and value and make great additions to game rooms, home garages and businesses.
The Original Spring Classic Auction, held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, will be broadcast live on Mecum's popular television series, "Mecum Auto Auction: Muscle Cars & More" on HD Theater - Discovery Communications' first 24-hour high-definition cable network, offering compelling real-world and motorized content.

Fan Favorite Race Car Had Two Victories, Two Top 5 and Three Top 10 Finishes
MARENGO, Ill. - Dana Mecum's 23rd Original Spring Classic Auction continues to build excitement with collector car buyers and fans as it announces the addition of Jeff Gordon's #24 DuPont Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS (Lot F216) to its list of legendary vehicles offered at the event. The annual high-profile collector car auction will be held May 19-23, 2010, in Indianapolis, Ind.
"The celebrated success Jeff Gordon attained in this vehicle is hard to match," said President Dana Mecum. "This is a one-of-a-kind car with quite a pedigree and is likely one of the most highly visible race vehicles ever to hit the track. We're very excited to have the #24 Monte Carlo in our flagship auction and look forward to an enthusiastic reception from our attendees."
Four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Jeff Gordon raced the #24 DuPont Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS (chassis #24-183) 18 times between the 2001 and 2005 race seasons. This car visited victory lane twice during Gordon's 2001 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship season, winning the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 4, 2001, and the MBNA Platinum 400 at Dover International Speedway on June 3, 2001. In addition to the wins, the Monte Carlo had two poles, two Top 5 finishes and three Top 10 finishes during its lengthy career.
"Mecum has a great reputation in the auction business and knows the market for special interest vehicles better than any other organization," said Jim Perkins, president & COO of The Hendrick Companies, LLC, who has consigned the car. "This is an authentic cup car in every detail that was driven by a remarkable hometown Indiana 'Hoosier,' Mr. Jeff Gordon. There's really no more fitting venue to offer this unique automobile than the Mecum Auction at Indianapolis."
Gordon's Monte Carlo comes completely built by the Hendrick Motorsports #24 race shop and includes a genuine, certified original Jeff Gordon winning SB2 358cid V8 race engine. The car will be sold with certificates of authenticity, extensive documentation and a collection of race day and restoration photographs.
With the introduction of the Chevrolet Impala SS (COT) to NASCAR in 2008, Chassis #24-183, a Monte Carlo SS, was retired to become one of NASCAR's premier collector items.
Jeff Gordon's #24 DuPont Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS will cross the block Friday at 6:35 p.m. and joins more than 1,750 vehicles at Mecum's Original Spring Classic Auction. To view a complete list, visit https://www.mecum.com.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – April 09, 2010 – The Barrett-Jackson Auction Company reported more than $20 million in total sales and produced one of its most dynamic auctions during the 8th Annual Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Collector Car Auction April 1-3, 2010. The all No Reserve auction had bidders vying for more than 400 cars on an exciting docket that included the 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Special Edition that sold for $297,000, the Shadrach “Platt & Payne Signature Edition” Mustang that fetched $190,000 with all proceeds benefitting the Darrell Gwynn Foundation, and the only 1965 Boyd Coddington roadster ever built that went to the winning bidder for $184,800. Barrett-Jackson hosted more than 55,000 attendees during the three-day auction at the Americraft Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds. The 2010 Palm Beach event was dedicated to the memory of Nellie Jackson, the auction company’s matriarch who passed away in February at age 90.
“This year’s Palm Beach auction was another testament to the vibrancy of the collector car market,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We had an outstanding event that was attended by many of our best customers along with a strong showing of new bidders and consignors. The average hammer price per car was up over last year, and we’re thrilled to have helped raise $60,000 for the Darrell Gwynn Foundation during our opening night party, as well as over $560,000 for other deserving charities during our auction.”
In addition to the “Platt & Payne” Mustang, this year’s docket included a host of charity cars including the Budweiser Ford Thunderbird #11, which benefited the Stocks for Tots Foundation and the 2007 Ford Shelby GT Coupe Show car, which featured a custom Las Vegas paint scheme and benefited the Carroll Shelby Foundation. There were many other special cars offered during the auction, including the limited edition, high-performance Barrett-Jackson and ROUSH version of the Ford Mustang. The concept vehicle, which is painted with a base of metallic “Back in Black” with “Red Hot Chili Pepper” stripes on the front using the Planet Color Barrett-Jackson Collector Color Series paints, rolled across the block on Saturday, April 3, and fetched $110,000. The action in the main auction arena was so intense on Saturday evening that SPEED extended its scheduled live coverage for an hour, bringing the total to 23 ½ hours of televised coverage for the 2010 Palm Beach event.
“This year we sold 463 cars, with many going home to new bidders,” added Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “Barrett-Jackson provides a forum where experienced collectors come to bid on the high dollar collectibles while first time buyers have an opportunity to find great cars that can seed a new collection. We want every car enthusiast to know that the Barrett-Jackson experience is within their reach.”
The auction week started off when Commissioner Burt Aaronson declared March 27-April 3, 2010, “Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Week” in Palm Beach County. In addition to the auction, the full week of activities included a Road Rally, which featured approximately 75 vehicles, the 3rd annual Cruise-In at Wayne Akers Ford that showcased over 150 collector and custom cars, a Barrett-Jackson exhibit at City Place, and a pre-auction charity reception benefitting the Darrell Gwynn Foundation hosted by John and Jeanette Staluppi at their Cars of Dreams museum.
“The high level of interest by enthusiasts in Florida and along the East Coast is the reason our Palm Beach auction continues to grow,” said Jackson. “We’re especially excited about Commissioner Aaronson’s Barrett-Jackson auction week declaration. With the success of our first Palm Beach road rally and our 3rd annual cruise-in at Wayne Akers, we’re creating a destination event in Palm Beach County that has something for everyone.”
Standing room only crowds filled the auction arena throughout the three-day sale where attendees witnessed a number of head-to-head bidding wars. The top ten cars sold in Palm Beach were:
- 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – $297,000.00 (Lot #678)
- 2005 Ford Mustang GT Platt & Payne Signature Edition – $190,000.00 (Lot #661)
- 1965 Cobra Custom Roadster – $184,800.00 (Lot #665.2)
- 1967 Chevrolet Convertible – $165,000.00 (Lot #660.2)
- 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom Hardtop – $162,250.00 (Lot #665.1)
- 2005 Ford GT Coupe – $161,700.00 (Lot #663)
- 1969 Dodge Hemi Charger 500 2-door Hardtop – $148,500.00 (Lot #667.1)
- 1990 Coors Extra Gold Top Fuel Dragster Replica – $140,000.00 (Lot #661.1)
- 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Fastback – $137,500.00 (Lot #663.1)
- 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Convertible – $132,000.00 (Lot #670.1)
“The Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction continues to grow in every way,” added Davis. “We’re very happy with the results in Palm Beach and look forward to our inaugural auction in Orange County coming up June 25-27 at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa.”

All auction prices, excluding charity vehicles, include buyer’s premium.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – March 30, 2010 – Barrett-Jackson will auction a few of the amazing development vehicles from the official Shelby American corporate museum during the 8th Annual Auction in Palm Beach on Saturday, April 3. The eight cars are an exciting mix of concept vehicles, test mules and development units. They include an ’06 Shelby GT-H coupe prototype (Lot #678.2), Shelby SR prototype (Lot #370.2), Ken Miles edition MKII GT40 Chassis #GT40P/2001 (Lot # 370.1), Shelby Turbo prototype (Lot # 374.2), 2007 Shelby GT Show Car (Lot# 374.1), ’88 Shelby CSX-T (Lot# 55) and ’99 Shelby Series 1 (Lot# 663.2).
“When Shelby American renovated the museum in Las Vegas, they decided to trim their collection of cars,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “Like the Ford and GM development vehicles sold at No Reserve through Barrett-Jackson over the past several years, they are a snapshot of an original masterpiece or idea.”
Concept cars, test mules and development units are an important part of creating a production automobile for any company. They are used to develop power trains, engineer suspensions, tune bodywork and try out new ideas. Some are close to final production trim while others are exercises that never come to maturation.
Typically, most of these types of cars end up crushed, dismantled or in corporate collections. Few ever make it into the hands of the general public. However, Shelby American chose to release a small number of its development vehicles to collectors through Barrett-Jackson. The cars were used by Shelby engineering and design teams at the Las Vegas factory, design studio and Las Vegas Motor Speedway to create their line of performance vehicles.
“Our team chose to offer a handful of vehicles at Barrett-Jackson because it’s the most democratic way to give the average enthusiast an opportunity to own a rare glimpse into the Shelby way of building cars,” noted Amy Boylan, president of Shelby American. “It extends the benefits of being part of the Shelby family to more people.”
Each vehicle marks a milestone in the history of Carroll Shelby’s companies. Some are unique views into a moment in a car line’s development while others represent a path not taken. Each is highly collectible and historical. Most were displayed at the Shelby factory in Las Vegas alongside Carroll’s personal collection.
The 2006 Ford Shelby GT-H coupe is the prototype for the 517 units that were built. They were fitted with a custom Shelby appearance package, Ford Racing Power Pack to add horsepower and torque to the 4.6 liter V8, suspension stiffing components, new exhaust system, special wheels, a 3.55:1 ratio rear axle assembly and interior touches.
A pair of cars introduced last year to great fanfare will also be sold. In 2009, Shelby Automobiles unveiled the Shelby SR and the Shelby Turbo post-title packages for 4.6L V8 powered 2005-2009 Mustang GT. Both are 550 horsepower prototypes and only one of their types built.
The SR was used for a press event and appeared in numerous media stories worldwide. The car was extensively developed on the drag strip, oval and road course of Las Vegas Motor Speedway at the hands of Shelby test drivers. It was also the prototype for a new Shelby supercharger and short throw shifter.
The “Shelby Turbo” car appeared in numerous publications and on the floor of the SEMA show. It was tested at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where Shelby test drivers and media put it through its paces on the road course.
Shelby will also sell a Ken Miles edition MKII GT40. This GT40 continuation is built to exacting standards with over two thirds of the rolling chassis’s parts interchangeable with an original car. The left-hand drive car has never been driven and is set up to accept a period correct Ford 427 F.E. engine and a ZF or RBT transaxle; the drivetrain is not included with the car. The car is sold with an MSO as it has never been titled.
“Shelby’s experimental cars, like the famous ‘Green Hornet’ from the 1960s are now highly coveted collectibles for the same reasons that these vehicles are so prized,” stated Davis. “From the Series 1 to the GT40 and Hertz Shelbys, they are a piece of memorabilia, art and history that will never come again.”
The 2007 Shelby GT Show Car has a custom paint scheme created for display at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway “Neon Garage” during the first Shelby 427 NASCAR race in 2009. The paint scheme reflects a Las Vegas theme with familiar icons such as the Navy Thunderbirds team, a white tiger and showgirls. It is a one-off show car built to demonstrate the versatility of the car for customization and styling.
When Carroll Shelby’s good friend, Lee Iacocca, asked him to inject some performance excitement into Chrysler Corporation during the 1980s, he responded with a series of “pocket rocket” front wheel drive cars. That included a line of cars called the CSX-T using the “Shadow” body style for Thrifty Car Rental. The CSX-T was only sold to Thrifty, and 1,001 were produced. One of those cars, CSX-T 475 will be sold after a stint in the Shelby Museum.
The Shelby Series 1 was a high-performance roadster manufactured by Shelby American from 1996-2002. The car to be auctioned has a carbon fiber body, sophisticated chassis and a 4.0 liter V8 engine. Weighing 2,650 pounds, sports car went 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and recorded 12.8 in the quarter mile; top speed was 185 mph.
This was the first running car and the “pre-production” #1 Series 1 that was featured on the cover of Motor Trend, as well as various other magazine articles through 1998-99. “PP1” was used for dealer and public drives given by NASCAR legend Davey Hamilton and Shelby test driver Gary Patterson. The car is sold with an MSO as it has never been titled. The Series 1 will be listed in the Shelby World Registry.

- Muscle Cars, Hot Rods, Sports Cars, Resto-mods and Classics to Thrill Bidders
- Three Current Model Collector Cars to be Sold at No Reserve
- Ride & Drives, Vendors and Unique Experiences on Tap
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – March 29, 2010 – Barrett-Jackson has created a diverse docket of world class collector cars and unique experiences for the 8th Annual Auction in Palm Beach. This year’s auction is already at capacity and will feature a fantastic selection of muscle cars, hot rods, sports cars, resto-mods and classic cars that will all be sold at No Reserve from April 1-3, 2010. SPEED will provide live, high-definition TV coverage of all three auction days at the Americraft Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds.
“Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Week officially kicked off last weekend in Florida and our auction this week promises to be one of the most exciting, diverse and interesting events for car collectors on the east coast,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Our Palm Beach event has a distinctive character all its own with thrills and experiences that simply can’t be found anywhere else in the world.”
Late Model Muscle
The Palm Beach event will feature three exclusive current production cars. Barrett-Jackson will sell the concept car for the new Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang (Lot #649.1), the first of 500 retail 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition coupes (Lot #678) and the #350 serial number 2011 Shelby GT350 (Lot #663.1).
The Corvette Z06 Carbon is a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Corvette’s first race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The first retail unit will be up for bids and the car features Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, Michelin PS2 tires, Magnetic Ride Control and enhanced cooling. Black headlamps and mirrors, a ZR1-style body color spoiler, body color door handles, carbon fiber raised hood, and black carbon fiber rockers and splitter enhance the design and reduce mass and aerodynamic lift.
The highest bidder will also be given the opportunity to travel to GM’s Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich., to watch the car’s engine being hand-built. They can also watch the car going down the line at the famed assembly plant in Bowling Green, Ky.
“Decades from now, people will remember the moment that someone captured one of these cars,” noted Steve Davis, Barrett-Jackson president. “This is a chance to not only own a piece of history, but to be woven into that car’s unique story.”
ROUSH Performance® and Barrett-Jackson recently teamed up for a limited edition, high-performance version of the Ford Mustang. The concept vehicle will be auctioned to the highest bidder on Saturday, April 3; the car will be painted with a base of metallic “Back in Black” with “Red Hot Chili Pepper” stripes on the front using the smoking hot Planet Color Barrett-Jackson Collector Color Series paints. This car will be the model for a run of up to 25 units based on the 2010 Mustang, and an additional 25 units on the 2011 chassis.
This car represents the first time that ROUSH will completely re-paint a Mustang from front fascia to rear bumper. Customers ordering the car, or the ROUSH authorized Ford dealerships that inventory a unit, can custom order both the base coat and the side stripes in any combination from the 25 available Planet Color Barrett-Jackson Collector Color Series paints. The Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang will sport 540 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque under the hood and 20-inch chrome wheels with high-performance tires. ROUSH also tuned the suspension for a race inspired ride.
One of the most exclusive cars will be from Shelby American. The company will sell the serial number “350” 2011 GT350 with a host of additional items. These special bits include a one-off plaque designed by Larry Wood, the “Hot Wheels” guru who helped design the 2011 GT350, delivery of the car to the winning bidder in Las Vegas with a personal factory tour and driving lessons at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, pace car graphics from the recent “Shelby American” NASCAR race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, #350 Giclee of the NASCAR race program with the GT350 and a Carroll Shelby signed program from the race. In addition, Mr. Shelby plans to personally test drive the car, autograph the dash and take a photo with it.
“The dash plaque will truly be unique,” explained Davis. “Not only with ‘Mr. Hot Wheels’ designing it, the badge will carry both the Shelby American and Barrett-Jackson logos, the date of the event and the name of the winning bidder, much like the optional plate offered by Ford with the Mustang in 1965. Shelby also plans to use sapphires for the Cobra eyes on the plaque to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the GT350.”
The Shelby GT350 is a post title program; a customer purchases a car from a local Ford Dealer, which is turned into a GT350 by the Shelby American team. A limited number will be built in the 2011 model year and the supercharged pony car has been enhanced with razor sharp handling, incredible braking and huge horsepower.
“Because production of the 5.0L Mustang GT will begin about the same time as the auction, we’re selling the rights to serial number 350,” added Davis. “The GT350 will be built in Las Vegas when the base car becomes available with a host of important options. This will truly be a special, milestone collector car.”
A Hobby with a Heart
Another Barrett-Jackson tradition is the company’s efforts to help charities use this unique forum to raise funds. In 2009, the company helped raise $6.6 million for non-profits through its three collector car events and has already helped raise $4.5 million this year. A pair of racecars to be sold at the Palm Beach 2010 event will be of particular interest to collectors.
Over the past several years, the Darrell Gwynn Foundation has auctioned cars at Barrett-Jackson with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting its programs. This year, Lot 661.1, a replica of the 20th Anniversary Coors Extra Gold top fuel dragster driven by legendary NHRA champion Darrell Gwynn in 1990 will be sold to benefit the charity. Before the collector car auction starts, the Foundation will give a wheelchair to a deserving child.
“We originally auctioned this amazing car in Scottsdale earlier this year,” noted Davis. “For the first time in history, the dragster was auctioned three different times and ultimately donated back to the Foundation. Long time supporter Ron Pratte first purchased the car, followed by Bill Gannon and lastly Joe Riley. Joe donated it back to help the Foundation reach its goal of raising one million dollars through the promotion of this car. We want to help the Darrell Gwynn Foundation continue this quest and keep the momentum going.”
Lot #633 is a 1990 Ford Thunderbird built by Junior Johnson and raced by Bill Elliott. It will be sold to benefit the Stocks for Tots Foundation, which is committed to raising awareness for child abuse prevention and parenting.
The racecar was driven in several NASCAR Winston Cup events. Purchased directly from Junior Johnson after it had been completely rebuilt, the Thunderbird was prepared by Mike Beam, the crew chief for the team in 1991 and 1992, to the same standard as an original team car.
“This race car is significant for many reasons,” noted Don Miller, retired president of Penske Racing South and chairman of the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame. “It’s symbolic of a time when Bill Elliott was at the zenith of his career and Junior was at the height of his ownership. It’s rightfully secured its place as an icon in Winston Cup history. We’re grateful to Barrett-Jackson for giving us such a great venue to auction this amazing race car and help support abused and neglected children of the Carolinas.”
As sold, the car had a fresh rebuilt engine, transmission, rear end, brakes, shocks and the suspension parts were inspected as race ready. It is complete with a racing ignition system, fuel cell, fire system, seat, safety belts, 650hp NASCAR race engine, dry sump oil system, oil cooler, rear end cooler and all required NASCAR race equipment. According to the consigner, this car could be raced today with normal service.
“This car has a great history,” stated Jackson. “It was sponsored by Budweiser and raced by the famous Junior Johnson Race team. The T-bird competed in a number of events including Michigan, Darlington, Pocono and won at Atlanta in 1992. It was driven by one of the most popular drivers of all time, ‘Million Dollar Bill’ Elliott. Because this car was fully race prepared by the original Junior Johnson team, it does not require rebuild, repair, paint or any additional parts in order to compete. Having the original team engine, brakes, body and safety equipment is of great value to anyone who wants to use a car like this in club races.”
The Pony Car Wars Re-ignite
Few cars become an icon the day they roll off the line. Despite being conceived as a fast answer to Ford’s immensely successful Mustang, the Chevrolet Camaro had every ingredient it needed to be an instant classic.
“The Camaro really turned the muscle car wars upside down when it was introduced,” explained Davis. “On paper, it was just a response to the Mustang. But in reality, it was a thorough rethink of the performance coupe and convertible. It offered so much performance and swagger from the factory for the money that it’s easy to see why it has become a genuine collector’s item today.”
When GM reintroduced the Camaro a few years ago, the company ignited a passion for the previous generation pony cars. 40 Camaros will be offered during the weekend’s auction festivities. The variety stretches from great drivers with interesting histories, highly-optioned, restored examples, ready for show, all the way up to tasteful and creative customs.
Lot #647.1, a 1968 Camaro Z/28 coupe, comes with its original numbers matching 302, a close ratio Hurst four-speed, incredibly rare firewall induction system and a 12-bolt posi-traction rear end. It is documented with its original Protect-O-Plate and it has been thoroughly detailed with a recent powertrain restoration. It would make an ideal addition to any significant Camaro collection.
Lot #669, an attractive Rally Green over black ’69 Z/28 coupe, recently scored 993 out of 1,000 points at the Classic Chevrolet International and Worldwide Camaro Club gathering. Numbers-matching and meticulously restored, this Camaro also comes with its original window sticker.
Another hot car is the Daytona Yellow 1969 Camaro RS/SS coupe, Lot #649. Its distinctive paint color made it a AACA First Place winner (badge included with sale). A frame off restoration, done to a competition-ready level, makes it one of the best 1969 Camaro’s on the planet. It’s not just a looker, though; a properly sorted 396 matched to a Muncie four-speed makes it a real driver, as well.
Lot #659.3 is a “dream come true” for a muscle car enthusiast seeking a custom muscle car. The orange coupe rides on an Air Ride suspension and features a professionally built 454 big block, a four-speed and a set of Wildwood power disc brakes.
GM’s high-performance 427 found its way into a number of Camaros in the 1960s, but none looked quite like Lot #688.1, a 1968 custom coupe. Cranking out 500 horsepower, this coupe seems stock until the driver hits the gas pedal. A four-speed Muncie transmission puts the power to the ground, with 20-inch rear and 18-inch front black-painted mag wheels and power reclining bucket seats.
One of the leading resto-mod Camaros available in Palm Beach is Lot #677, a sleek silver on black 1967 Camaro Pro Touring coupe. Dubbed “Project Silverback,” this Camaro is a one-off street machine that underwent a rotisserie restoration with several modern upgrades both inside and out. This Pro-Touring Camaro has the ultimate blend of classic looks and modern technology to turn heads on the auction block.
Hot Rods Rule
Hot Rods are an American institution and are well represented at this year’s event. For example, Barrett-Jackson will sell five 1932 hot rods alone.
One of the most exciting is Lot #629.2, a 1932 Ford 3 window custom coupe that was professionally built with Ravon body and chassis. The car has a 383cid Chevy small block with a supercharger and two 4-barrel carburetors, Turbo 400 transmission with 2800 stall converter, Ford 4-link 9″ rear end and power windows. Hued in red with flames, the Ford also features front disc brakes, Weld wheels, tilt column and Autometer gauges. It’s a super street rod that would be equally at home in a car show or cruising Woodward Avenue.
Corvette Paradise
Barrett-Jackson has once again packed the Palm Beach lineup with an amazing group of America’s favorite sports car, the Corvette. Every generation, from C1 to C6, are represented. A few that are sure to catch the eye of collectors include a stunning red 1959 Corvette convertible (Lot #670.1) custom convertible, a big block 1967 Corvette coupe (Lot #660.1) and a 1971 Corvette LS5 convertible (Lot #689) with its matching numbers 454/365hp LS-5 big block.
A stunning pair of big block Corvettes are very noteworthy. Lot #660.1 is a red 1967 with matching numbers on all mechanical components. The big block coupe had a meticulous quality frame-off restoration as well. Still wearing its original GM Trim Tag, it’s a genuine 427cid/435hp coupe with side exhaust, F41 suspension, 3.70 posi-traction and M21 4-speed. A special ordered high performance classic, all information has been authenticated by an NCRS master judge.
Lot #660.2 is 1967 big block convertible Corvette. Like the coupe, it’s the real deal and has also been meticulously restored. A rare factory red and black 427cid/435hp roadster, it features matching numbers on all mechanical components. It too has been authenticated by an NCRS master judge.
Euro Offerings
Seven Austin-Healeys, half a dozen Ferrari’s, seven Jaguars, a pair of Alfa Romeo’s, two Aston Martins, 18 Mercedes and a quintet of Porsches will be featured at the Palm Beach event. The “European sheet metal” spans the decades and runs the gamut from exotics to open air sports cars.
Lot #660 is a 1956 Austin-Healy 100 BN2 converted to Le Mans specifications by a dealership in the 1950s. The car has benefitted from a full frame-off comprehensive restoration with the dual color scheme of Gun Metal Gray over Saint James Red. The interior is finished in Red Ox Blood vinyl with matching English wool carpeting and black armachord. New black vinyl top and tonneau cover fitted to the car with original side curtains. The engine has been rebuilt.
Resto-mod Poster Child
The concept of a resto-mod is simple: take some of the best performance and comfort technology of modern cars and combine those attributes with the timeless, classic style of vintage cars. That was the idea behind Lot # 670 one of the most interesting cars scheduled to cross the block at Barrett-Jackson. Dubbed the “Mad Vette,” it is a resto-mod 1957 Chevrolet Nomad equipped with the reliable, smooth performance of a 1995 Corvette.
“Barrett-Jackson has been on the forefront of the resto-mod scene and this is another great example,” said Davis. “It combines a great Corvette powertrain with the eye candy of one of the world’s favorite designs, the ‘57 Nomad.”

Concept Car for New Limited Edition Series to be Sold at Palm Beach Auction
- 25 total 2010 model year and 25 total 2011 model year edition cars scheduled to be built
- The concept vehicle will be sold at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach 2010
- Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang features custom paint options by Planet Color
LIVONIA, Mich. – March 18, 2010 – ROUSH Performance® and Barrett-Jackson have teamed together to offer a limited edition, high-performance version of the Ford Mustang. The concept car for the Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang will be sold at No Reserve during the 8th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach on April 1-3, 2010, at the Americraft Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds.
“The 2010 Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang ties two leading automotive brands together in an amazing package combining performance and unique styling,” said Jack Roush. “People who drive a regular production ROUSH Mustang are used to getting plenty of second looks. But with the custom Barrett-Jackson paint in such gorgeous colors, these owners will experience envy on an entirely new level.”
The concept vehicle will be auctioned to the highest bidder on Saturday, April 3 at the Barrett-Jackson event in Palm Beach, Fla.; the car is expected to be shown live during the SPEED broadcast. This Mustang will be painted with a base of metallic “Back in Black” with “Red Hot Chili Pepper” stripes on the front. This car will be the model for a run of up to 25 units based on the 2010 Mustang, and an additional 25 units on the 2011 chassis.
“The only thing faster than this muscular ROUSH Mustang concept set to go across the auction block will be the bidding,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “With the ROUSHcharger, forged internal components and a resonator exhaust, this is one good looking Mustang that really moves.”
With a maximum of 25 serialized units built on the 2010 chassis, this car represents the first time that ROUSH will completely re-paint a Mustang from front fascia to rear bumper. Customers ordering the car, or the ROUSH authorized Ford dealerships that inventory a unit, can custom order both the base coat and the side stripes in any combination from the 25 available smoking hot Planet Color Barrett-Jackson Collector Color Series paints.
“We wanted to give customers the opportunity to enjoy the collectability of a very limited edition series of performance cars but still be able to customize it,” noted Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “By teaming with ROUSH and Planet Color, we merged the two, giving enthusiasts literally the best of both worlds.”
In addition to the custom paint schemes, the 2010 Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang will sport 540 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque under the hood thanks to the R2300 ROUSHcharger® and several forged internal components such as the pistons and crankshaft. The Mustang will ride on 20-inch chrome wheels with high-performance Cooper RS3 tires; the suspension package includes ROUSH front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers to turn any commute into a slalom course.
It comes fully-loaded with ROUSH body components to add to its appearance; resonator exhaust for a deep V-8 rumble; four-piston front brakes with 14-inch rotors and painted rear calipers with slotted rotors; and new upper and lower billet grille that removes the fog lamps and streamlines the appearance of the new Mustang while improving cooling performance. Interior enhancements include leather seats with an embroidered Barrett-Jackson logo; four-piece performance pedals; ROUSH illuminated sill plates; short throw shifter with black or white ball; and a new interior badge with the serial number engraved.
The suggested retail for the 2010 Barrett-Jackson Edition ROUSH Mustang package is $41,495 plus the Mustang chassis. Each vehicle will be covered with the traditional ROUSH 3-year/36,000 mile warranty, and are available in manual transmission only.
