No other sports car is so encompassing of the hobby, making them perfect for just about any collection. The Corvettes on this year\u2019s Northeast Auction docket are a great example of the depth and breadth of the Corvette over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the notable Corvettes crossing the block at Mohegan Sun is one of only 3,832 big-block Corvettes produced, a 1967 427\/390 features an engine rebuilt by the famed Hendrick Motorsports, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in rare Marina Blue, the car (above) features power disc brakes, factory air conditioning and side-mount exhaust. Yet another example is a 1964 small-block 327 with 350 horsepower that\u2019s finished in the ultra-rare factory color code of 900 Tuxedo Black over a red interior. It&#8217;s powered by a matching-numbers V8 engine rebuilt during a frame-off restoration that was well documented with photos, receipts and reports.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the docket is a 1957 283\/270 Convertible finished in the rare Cascade Green and featuring the original factory racing setup. Over the last 10 years it has undergone a rolling restoration that meets NCRS standards, and includes a new reproduction steering wheel, working original Wonder Bar AM\/FM radio, and original gauges and clock. Yet another prime example is a Resto-mod 1966 Convertible featuring a ground-up custom build with a modern suspension and chassis based on the design of Art Morrison. This Corvette is the result of thousands of man-hours, and includes contemporary C6 Corvette suspension, LS3 V8 engine, manual transmission and new interior.<\/p>\n<p>The total number of Corvettes produced in 1970 was 17,316, making that model year the smallest since 1962. One of two \u201970 Corvettes currently set to cross the Mohegan Sun auction block is a Daytona Yellow Sting Ray 454\/390, a rare big-block V8 engine with 4-speed manual transmission. Special options include Rally wheels with raised white-letter tires with sombrero caps, along with removable T-top and rear window glass.<\/p>\n<p>One of only 1,287 produced for 1970, is a rare LT-1 Convertible that has only 26,420 original miles. Under the hood of this Marlboro Maroon Corvette is the original V8 engine and 4-speed manual transmission. It comes with much of the original documentation.<\/p>\n<p>These are but a few of the choice Corvettes on offer, so for more information please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Barrett-Jackson.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.Barrett-Jackson.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several excellent examples of America\u2019s favorite sports car will be crossing the auction block at Barrett-Jackson\u2019s 2nd Annual Northeast Auction, June 21-24 at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. \u201cCorvettes have captured the imagination of enthusiasts and collectors since 1953,\u201d said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. \u201cOne of the most unique aspects of Corvettes is that classic, contemporary, custom and survivor cars are all appreciated.
