Hundreds of collector vehicles and more than 450 pieces of authentic collector automobilia are expected to cross the auction block, nearly all at No Reserve.

Barrett-Jackson's 4th Annual Northeast Auction returns to Mohegan Sun with an action-packed automotive lifestyle event for the whole family. On Wednesday, June 26, Shell Pennzoil is revving up the excitement as the sponsor of Barrett-Jackson's Family Value Day with free admission for high school students (with proper identification) and younger. Families can enjoy an auction preview, along with automotive and family activities based on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math in a new STEM Center attraction.

Other activities include the DIY Pavilion featuring live builds from Factory Five, hands-on demonstrations from Adams Polishes, Dannmar MaxJax, Bad Dog Tools and more. Attendees wanting to learn more about the collector car hobby from automotive experts and celebrities can do so at a series of complimentary Behind the Hobby Collector Car Symposiums.

On Saturday, June 29, General Motors and Barrett-Jackson will offer the opportunity of a lifetime with the auction of the final production seventh-generation Chevrolet Z06 Corvette. One-hundred percent of the hammer price will benefit the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, named for New York City firefighter Stephen Siller, who died during the Sept. 11 attacks.

'We're honored to be able to help great companies like GM raise money and awareness for critical organizations like the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation,' said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. 'It's a great privilege to be a part of this historic moment, selling the last Corvette of the current generation in support of our first responders and military heroes. You simply won't find a more compassionate group of people than those inside the collector car community.'

Barrett-Jackson's Northeast Auction will also be home to highly sought-after muscle and custom collector cars, including a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. This all-matching-numbers, first-generation Z/28 is powered by a 302ci 8-cylinder engine coupled to a M22 heavy-duty manual transmission. It also comes with extensive documentation, including certifications from Jerry MacNeish, judging sheets, receipts and ownership history. Another offering is a frame-off restored, matching-numbers 1968 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible, one of 1,518 produced with a 4-speed manual transmission.
