Paul Stanley’s Factory Custom 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible VIN 001
Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Auction is June 30–July 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center – West Hall written by David M. Brown A multigenerational assemblage of standout ’Vettes, led by KISS frontman Paul Stanley’s Factory Customized VIN 001 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, a COPO Camaro previously owned by MLB Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, two Ford Eleanor Mustang Tributes and a very Regal 1987 Buick Turbo are some of the early consignments for the 14th Barrett-Jackson Auction in Las Vegas, June 30–July 2, at the Las Vegas Convention Center – West Hall.
As with all auction cars, Stanley’s 3-liter C8 will be offered at No Reserve. He became acquainted with Chevrolet’s top executives when the C7 debuted in 2013; Mark Reuss, the president, asked if he would like to take part in designing a 2015 Stingray model for the 2014 SEMA Show. He agreed and worked with the carmaker to create a color inspired by a supercar he had seen, which is close to the Long Beach Red paint option offered in 2016.
“Offering vehicles with celebrity provenance is something Barrett-Jackson is well known for, and especially during our annual Las Vegas Auction,” says Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions®. “We’re thrilled to return to the entertainment capital of the world with an iconic C8 Corvette owned by one of the most famous names in rock and roll history.”
Another Corvette, a 1963 Z06, honoring the great Corvette designer, Zora Arkus-Duntov, includes the 360-horsepower L84-code 327-ci small block, mechanical fuel injection system and a four-speed manual transmission with a posi-traction rear axle. Only 199 cars with the Z06 package were produced.
