Meet the 1963 Plymouth Belvedere, affectionately dubbed the “Asphalt Angel.” This beauty isn’t just parked on Cloud Nine; it’s tearing down the highway with style and a grin-inducing growl. Imagine cruising in a car that looks like it took a time machine straight from the ’60s to your garage, complete with chrome accents and enough horsepower to make a cheetah blush. Whether you’re a muscle car fanatic or just someone who appreciates a nice ride, this Belvedere is sure to rev your engine and tickle your funny bone.
In 1950, Dodge rolled out the Wayfarer Sportabout Convertible, claiming it was the ultimate ride for America’s youthful drivers. This car was all about fun, with a top you could raise or lower one-handed, and windows that sealed tighter than a drum. Inside, it was like sitting on a fluffy cloud with enough legroom for a giraffe. On the road, the 103 horsepower ‘Get-Away’ engine promised thrills that could make even the most stoic driver giggle with joy.
In one corner, we have the 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle, a muscle car icon with enough power to make your neighbor’s lawn ornaments shake. In the other, the 1987 Buick GNX, the turbocharged beast that proves grandpas can be fast and furious too. As you ponder which classic deserves your vote, consider this: would you rather roar like a lion or purr like a turbocharged kitten? Whether you’re into vintage muscle or sleek speed, these two legends offer a wheel-spinning, tire-squealing good time.
Get ready to rev your engines and feel the wind in your hair with the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible! This classic beauty doesn’t just turn heads; it makes them spin like a tire on a burnout. Under the hood, it’s packing a mighty 350 HP 396 (or 402 for those who like to argue over numbers). With sport suspension and that unmistakable SS appearance package, it’s like wearing a tuxedo to a drag race. Inside, you’ll find bucket seats and a tilt wheel – perfect for those dramatic exits. And yes, it even has air conditioning, because even muscle cars have a soft side!
Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale revved up its engines with about 170 cars zooming across the block on day two, including some vintage Ford Mustangs that probably still remember when gas was under a buck. The highlight? 25 cars from the Charlie Thomas Collection, proving that hoarding can sometimes be profitable. The auction kicked off at 2 p.m., while the live TV broadcast hit the airwaves at 4 p.m. Meanwhile, early risers caught the “automobilia” auctions, because who doesn’t need a vintage hubcap at 9 a.m.?
