A custom-built 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe known as “Night Train” is set to headline a broad Chevrolet showcase at the upcoming Barrett-Jackson 2026 Scottsdale Auction, scheduled for Jan. 17–25 at WestWorld of Scottsdale. The event will feature a mix of historically significant classics, high-end customs, and late-model performance vehicles spanning more than seven decades of Chevrolet production.
Built by John Shope Designs, the “Night Train” Corvette reimagines the iconic one-year-only split-window coupe with a widebody design and modern performance underpinnings. Power comes from an LT4 engine producing more than 700 horsepower. Inside, the car features Italian leather upholstery with intricate stitching, custom instrumentation, aircraft-inspired controls, Bluetooth audio, power windows, and air conditioning, blending modern luxury with a classic silhouette.
Chevrolet’s early performance heritage will also be represented by a 1961 Corvette convertible dubbed “Timeless,” built exclusively for the Scottsdale auction. That car is powered by a 650-horsepower V8 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. From the muscle car era, a 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 will cross the block following a three-year, frame-off concours restoration. The Chevelle retains its original matching-numbers LS6 engine rated at 450 horsepower and is accompanied by extensive factory documentation.
Custom trucks and SUVs are also a major part of the docket. Highlights include a 1972 K5 Blazer built on a Roadster Shop chassis with a V8 and 10-speed automatic, a multi-award-winning 1951 Chevrolet 3100 pickup, and a 1971 K10 Cheyenne Super producing more than 1,000 horsepower. Each blends modern chassis technology with classic Chevrolet styling.
Late-model offerings range from a 2024 Camaro ZL1 Collector’s Edition to a 2023 Corvette 70th Anniversary Edition with just 106 miles. One of the most powerful modern entries is a 2024 Camaro Yenko Stage 3 Black Panther Edition, one of 100 built and rated at 1,500 horsepower.
Additional consignments include highly modified Novas, Blazers, and a one-off 2010 Camaro Yenko Prototype. Together, the lineup underscores Chevrolet’s enduring influence on American car culture, from early sports cars and muscle machines to modern high-horsepower collectibles set to sell in Scottsdale.
