Barrett-Jackson Auctions is hosting its inaugural Northeast Auction at the Mohegan Sun Casino Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut, on the weekend of June 23-25. This inaugural event will feature a broad range of vintage, custom and late-model vehicles, and among the highlighted cars are a one-of-one custom 1967 Ford Mustang known as “Obsidian” (above), a rare, matching-numbers 1970 Plymouth HEMI Superbird, an original, matching-numbers 1968 Shelby GT500 KR Convertible and a concours-ready 1966 Porsche 911.
“We’re set to make our debut Northeast Auction at Mohegan Sun one of the most exciting automotive experiences on the East Coast this year,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Clientele and enthusiasts from the Northeast and Canada have asked us to host an event in this region, and we found Mohegan Sun to be the perfect venue.”
The unique custom 1967 Ford Mustang known as “Obsidian” features a fuel-injected 392cid V8 with twin Rotex superchargers that provides 847 horsepower and 750 lbs-ft of torque, as well as twin air-to-air intercoolers integrated into the hood and a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed transmission.
Among the European marques on the Mohegan Sun docket is a concours-ready 1966 Porsche 911 finished in Irish Green and upholstered in tan leather with plaid seat inserts. Powered by a 2.0-liter flat 6, this is among the earliest examples of the iconic model and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity is included.
The inaugural Northeast Auction at Mohegan Sun will be broadcast live on Velocity and Discovery Channel. For more information please visit www.Barrett-Jackson.com
Here’s an interesting fact – whilst the 1967 Obsidian Ford Mustang is undoubtedly an awesome car, it has had a cool $1.3 million spent on the build… Making it a true, ‘very expensive’ one off!
