Van Halen Auction was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (Van Halen) A pair of Chevrolet classics from the personal collection of rock 'n' roll icon Eddie Van Halen will be sold at No Reserve during the 38th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., Jan. 11-18, 2009. The 1956 Chevy 210 (Lot #1259) and 1956 Chevy Nomad (Lot #1259.1) will each be auctioned with matching, one-of-a-kind EVH Brand "Wolfgang" guitars and a pair of red, white, and black EVH striped sneakers. Hailed as "The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions," the Scottsdale auction and lifestyle event will feature a diverse mix of the world's most desirable collector vehicles. SPEED will broadcast nearly 40 hours of live, high-definition coverage of all six auction days.
"Rock 'n' roll and collector cars go hand in hand," said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. "And Eddie's cars, although from the same year, represent the diversity of the collector car hobby. The Nomad is restored to original specifications while the 210 is a custom built street rod with modern performance gear. I expect these cars to enter special collections that salute both rock 'n' roll and automobiles." - more on this story
