Our Favorites From The 2017 Barrett-Jackson Auction In Las Vegas

September 15, 2017

From the 19th to the 21st of October, a beautiful scene is due to descend on the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event is the 2017 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas auction, where a grand selection of classics and restomods will be up for grabs for the highest bidder. These aren’t amateur projects, they’re painstakingly made, beautiful, powerful machines. In this article, we’ve gone through the lots which will be under the hammer in October to choose our favorites, the cars that make us dream of blasting down a highway to the sound of a roaring V8. If you’re reading this and have the spare cash, maybe you’ll make your way over. For others, like myself, the photos will have to suffice for now.

1968 Chevrolet Camaro Custom Coupe

First up is this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Custom restomod, up for auction with no reserve (no surprise, huh?) This beast is powered by a 540ci V8, with aluminium heads and block. That’s just the start of the extensive customization that’s gone into this thing.

The exhaust feeds into a custom Borla muffler and tailpipes, the engine is mated to a Jerico Performance four-speed, and the floors and plating have been reformed from aluminium. The roof has been widened by five inches, and the inside is covered with Cobra black leather, while safety is taken care of by Corbeau belts.

Further efforts to lighten the car have spilled out to the door panels and trim, which have been remade from carbon fiber.
