Our Picks From The Upcoming Barrett-Jackson Northeast Auction

June 9, 2019

Are you in the northeast, and in the market for a beautiful restomod? Or maybe you just want to stare at some gorgeous cars? Then get yourself to the Barrett-Jackson Northeast 2019 auction, being held at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. The docket for this auction is full to bursting with beautiful classics, including both pristine restorations and restomods. As you might have guessed, we’re more interested in the latter. Here are just a few of our favorites.

The G54: 1954 Buick Special Custom Coupe

Reserve: None

Barrett-Jackson

Created by Rad Rides by Troy of Manteno, Illinois, this gorgeous car, finished in chocolate and cognac paint, is completely custom. The headlights have been updated, while the tailights have been sourced from a 1962 Chevy. Both bumpers have been tucked, while the trim has been smoothed down.

Inside, there’s Dynamat insulation, lining of Ultra Suede, and the speakers have been covered with cloth used on Gibson amplifiers. The power seats come from Mercedes-Benz, and there’s a tilt wheel, Vintage Air, three-point seatbelts, and billet door handles.

The engine is from a Merc G55. To be more precise, it is the 330 supercharged AMG V8. It has been equipped with an Eaton supercharger, Big Stuff 3 fuel injection, and MSD ignition. In total, the engine produces around 530 horsepower, and is silky smooth.

1955 Pontiac Chieftain: “Big Chief 509”

Reserve: None

Barrett-Jackson

Maybe you want something more like a hot rod? Then this Pontiac Chieftain is the car for you. The Chieftain was given a frame-off restoration, and then packed with a whole host of modern goodies. Under the hood lurks a 509 roller V8 with custom steel heads and an 850 cfm Holley double-pumper carb. The intake is custom too, with Ram tubes and K&N filters. The automatic transmission is hooked up to a Dutchman 9″ rear end.

Barrett-Jackson

The car rides on Fat Man Fabrication Stage III suspension up front, and a TCI four-link setup at the rear. The wheels are Torq Thrust IIs. The bumpers have been smoothed, and the raised halogen headlights frenched. The chrome on the hood has been removed, as have the wing windows, door handles, and filler cap, which now sits in the taillights on the driver’s side. Finished in a classic flame paintjob, this Chieftain couldn’t look much more like a classic hot rod.
