One of the cool things that happens at the SEMA Auto Show->ke216 is that you get to see a bunch of the cars in attendance head to various auctions. During last week's show, a pair of custom Chevrolet Camaros were revealed, and they are are now heading to the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale this coming January.
The two Camaros, called the Linda Vaughn LV-1 Editions, were inspired by the woman many consider the "First Lady of Motorsports." Jack 'Doc' Watson also designed the two Camaros to pay homage to the friendship between the two individuals -- a bond that has lasted for over 50 years.
Both Camaros come with color combinations that also harkens back to Watson's old black/gold and white/gold color schemes for Hurst and Oldsmobile->ke64 models of yesteryear. The gold, in particular, was also added to serve as inspiration to Linda Vaughn's "Miss Hurst Golden Shifter" nickname.
Both cars are considered one-offs (or two-offs, if you want to group both together) with each coming with a host of identifiable badging, fancy sets of wheels, and complete warranty and service policies. No performance modifications were added, but for cars that will be as sought after as these two, you don't need that added horsepower to make it any more special.
Like we said, the two Linda Vaughn LV-1 Camaros will be auctioned off this January by Barrett-Jackson with the proceeds from both cars going to The International Kids Alliance Network -- a charity dedicated to exciting teaching tools for kids and eliminating illiteracy.
