By Steven J. Ewing, Autoblog.com - Something big is coming to the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. You can already read the (mostly) complete roster of vehicles that will be up for grabs at the annual event, and each item on the docket offers complete information as to year, make, model and a full description of the item.
But then there's lot No. 3016: Not a single bit of information is given, except that the vehicle is a Chevrolet, and that it's a "piece of Chevy history". All proceeds from the "special Chevrolet model" will be donated to the Center for Creative Studies, and the auction takes place at 8:30 PM on Saturday, January 19.
This wouldn't be the first big model to be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson event. Back in June, the first production 2013 SRT Viper was sold for US$300,000, and General Motors has historically used the event to auction off and even debut special edition Corvette models. Given the fact that the Viper auction netted just over US$200,000 more than the car's list price, a similar auction with the highly anticipated C7 Corvette could bring in some seriously big bucks.
We'll be seeing the 2014 Corvette for the first time on January 13 -- the night before the first press day of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and the Barrett-Jackson auction takes place just six days later.
