SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Dec. 18, 2025 – Barrett-Jackson (https://www.barrett-jackson.com/), The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, is rolling out a number of timeless classic and late-model Chevrolets during the upcoming 2026 Scottsdale Auction, Jan. 17-25 at WestWorld of Scottsdale. Among the top vintage consignments for the January auction is “Night Train,” a custom 1963 Corvette Split-Window Widebody Coupe (preview) designed and built by John Shope Designs. Late-model performance includes a 2024 Camaro Yenko Stage 3 “Black Panther” Edition (preview)  that is No. 9 of 100 produced with 1,500 horsepower.

“The Chevrolet brand has long been a symbol of American performance around the globe,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Chevrolet first made car ownership affordable for working families. The company then ignited the muscle-car wars with a string of high-performance cars ranging from the Chevelle to the Nova, Camaro and iconic Corvette, which continues to be the benchmark for the modern American performance. From a meticulously restored matching-numbers 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 (preview) to a limited-edition 2024 Camaro Yenko Stage 3 ‘Black Panther’ (preview), we have a docket filled with the very best classic, custom and late-model Bowtie collectibles ready to sell with No Reserve in Scottsdale.”

Nicknamed “Night Train,” the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Split-Window Widebody Coupe (preview) has a LT4 powerplant producing over 700 horsepower. The interior features Italian leather with octagon and diamond stitching, custom gauges, aircraft-inspired switches, Bluetooth stereo, power windows and air conditioning. “Timeless” is a custom 1961 Chevrolet Corvette convertible (preview) built exclusively for the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction. It is powered by a V8 engine rated at 650 horsepower with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 (preview) underwent a comprehensive three-year, fully documented and photographed, frame-off, nut-and-bolt concours restoration by Chevelle specialist Rick Nelson. It retains its original matching-numbers LS6 V8 engine rated at 450 horsepower and includes the original Window Sticker, Build Sheet, invoice, sales card, owner’s manual and Protect-O-Plate.

Custom Chevy trucks and SUVs include a custom 1972 K5 Blazer (preview) powered by a V8 with a 10-speed automatic transmission on a Roadster Shop IFS chassis. Painted in Porsche Chalk Gray, it rides on 17-inch Mickey Thompson wheels wrapped in 34-inch BFGoodrich tires. The cabin offers Apex Ultra square-weave carpet with leather edging, Dakota Digital RTX gauges and a RetroSound stereo system. A multi-award winning custom 1951 Chevrolet 3100 (preview) is built on a Roaster Shop RS5 chassis and is powered by a 525-horsepower engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. A custom 1971 K10 Cheyenne Super (preview) produces 1,004 horsepower and  sits on a Roadster Shop RS4 chassis. Painted in two-tone Jet Black and Linen White, the interior includes custom German square-weave carpet, wood-grain dash and door panels, and a Vintage Air Gen V system.

“From cruise nights to the racetrack and starring moments on the big screen, Chevrolet’s iconic cars are an important part of American culture,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “They’ve been the inspiration for drivers of every generation, and we’ll have some of the best examples that span decades. A custom 1955 Bel Air (preview) on the docket is a beautiful example of the classic Tri-Five Chevy, while the custom 1963 Corvette Split-Window (preview) built by John Shope Designs you have to see in person to truly appreciate.”

Late-model Chevrolets include a 2024 Camaro ZL1 Collector’s Edition (preview), serial number 203. Built as one of an ultra-limited production run commemorating Chevrolet and Marvel’s collaboration, it is finished in Panther Black Matte with exclusive badging and a deep black exterior accented by subtle purple highlights, and comes with a serialized Black Panther ZL1 chronograph watch. The 2023 Corvette 70th Anniversary Edition VIN 001 (preview) produces 495 horsepower, is equipped with the Z51 Performance Package and has 106 actual miles. Serving as a proof-of-concept for a limited production run that was ultimately never realized, the 2010 Camaro Yenko Prototype (preview) is the only one ever constructed. It is powered by a V8 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a Hurst short-throw shifter.
