Building upon its mantra of “Something for Everyone,” Barrett-Jackson will offer a diverse collection of featured vehicles crossing the block during the Las Vegas auction at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino from Sept. 20-22.
SPEED will broadcast 20 hours of live auction action during the sale, which is Barrett-Jackson’s fourth and final event of the year.
“For the fifth year in Las Vegas, Barrett-Jackson has consigned some of the collector-car industry’s hidden treasures for enthusiasts of all levels to enjoy,” said Craig Jackson, Barrett-Jackson Chairman and CEO. “We anticipate a very active and competitive bidding floor this year. We are sure to offer something for even the most discerning car buyer.”
Leading the pack of featured collector cars are:

• 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 fastback (Lot #671) – This very rare, matching numbers Grabber Orange Boss 429 Mustang has been rotisserie restored to its original showroom condition. Built by Ford and upgraded by Kar Kraft for NASCAR use, this is KK 429 NASCAR 2503. Documented with a Marti Report.
• 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird two-door hardtop (Lot #670) – This rare matching-numbers 426 Hemi Superbird has only 20,846 original miles. It is fully documented by its Broadcast Sheet, over 600 restoration photos, all restoration receipts and is Galen Govier certified.

• 1950 Packard Victoria custom convertible (Lot #667) – Three-year quality build, with four-wheel coilovers and four-wheel disc brakes, and a Corvette 350 LT1 engine. The car has been driven only a handful of test-and-tweak miles, and it easily cruises at highway speeds.
• 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS//SS custom “Project American Heroes” (Lot #669.1) – This Camaro was professionally built by Route 66 Motorsports of New Lenox, Ill., with parts provided by more than 25 major automotive aftermarket manufacturers from a rendering by Eric Brockmeyer. Documented in six issues of Super Chevy Magazine.
“Las Vegas attracts both experienced and novice bidders while keeping the collector-car spirit very much alive,” said Steve Davis, Barrett-Jackson president. “We’re very excited to be back for another year in this vibrant city with our featured vehicles in addition to a great roundup of Shelbys.”
