They say it takes all kinds to make the world go \u2018round. I\u2019ll admit, \u201cthey\u201d are right. For instance, on my flight to Connecticut for this week\u2019s Barrett-Jackson Northeast 2019 auction<\/a><\/u>, I was sitting next to a woman who brought an ENTIRE PIZZA onto the plane. Not a slice. Not her leftovers from a restaurant. An ENTIRE pizza.<\/p>\n

That may not be what you\u2019d bring on a plane, but that\u2019s the beauty of Barrett-Jackson auctions: We\u2019re all different people and there are cars there for all of us. Let\u2019s take a look at some key machines that are catching our attention here at DodgeGarage\u2026<\/p>\n

2005 Chrysler 300 Custom Convertible<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

Yo Dawg, West Coast Customs heard you like custom convertibles so they customized this convertible on the West Coast. I hope you read that in your best Xzibit voice! True story, though, this is a one-of-a-kind West Coast Customs build, it\u2019s shortened, turned into a two-door and features hundreds upon hundreds of man-hours in it. Powered by a 5.7L HEMI\u00ae<\/sup> enigne, this cruiser is now a smooth-riding two-seater with a huge sound system where the backseat once was. Want more? It\u2019s been owned by both Michael Anthony of Van Halen and Alice Cooper!<\/p>\n

1952 Dodge B3B Custom Pickup<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a trivia question that should get you a free drink at your next bench-racing event: What year did Dodge debut the 392 HEMI engine? You\u2019ll get answers ranging from the early \u201950s to the mid \u201960s. They\u2019re wrong. You\u2019ll likely get a guy who swears the answer is 1957. And that guy is wrong. The answer is 2011 in the Dodge Challenger SRT\u00ae<\/sup>. The 1957 392 HEMI was a Chrysler engine and was never in a production Dodge. Now that we have the history lesson out of the way, this 1952 Dodge has a 1957 Chrysler 392 HEMI engine under the hood! It\u2019s a slick frame-off restoration that left the patina. Coupled with the red wheels and matching red interior, it looks the part.<\/p>\n

2017 Dodge Viper GTC ACR<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no denying the mystique of the last Dodge Vipers, particularly the ACR cars. This one is a built-to-order GTC with the ACR package, a graduate of Dodge\u2019s exclusive One of One program. On top of that, it has the Extreme Aero package and carbon ceramic brakes. It\u2019s been stored in a climate-controlled facility and has never been tracked. With under 2,900 miles, you\u2019re getting a world-class supercar that\u2019s just barely broken in.<\/p>\n

The event itself is at the Mohegan Sun Casino<\/a><\/u>, which has become a destination of its own here in Connecticut. Gaming, dining, clubs … they have it all here. If you\u2019re coming to the show and you\u2019re not from the Northeast, you\u2019ll find some interesting things.<\/p>\n
