Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction is kicking off their new Orange County event this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The three day auction will televised by SPEED and the docket currently contains 31 Corvettes. With Orange County considered the birthplace of customizing and hotrods, it seems appropriate that nearly a third of the Corvettes are customs and resto-mods.
And speaking of resto-mods, we selected a few we’ll be keeping an eye on throughout the weekend. Lot #367.2 is a 1962 Corvette built on a C4 chassis and powered by an LS3 cammer V8 which produces 480 hp and 475lb-ft of torque. This Corvette is the true definition of a resto-mod – classic Corvette looks built on modern Corvette performance. Lot #366 is a 1966 Black Corvette Coupe powered by a 427 hp LS7 V8. A custom interior and custom wheels complete the look. Lastly, Lot #395 features a steel cities Gray 1972 Corvette convertible powered by an LS1 motor and a T56 6-Speed transmission. The Corvette features custom C5-styled seats and and an upgraded interior. A great look for a chrome-bumper C3 shark.
