If you’re a huge fan of Eddie Van Halen, you may want to check out the two Chevrolet cars he has up for sale. He is letting them go to the highest bidder during the 38th annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona next week.
The first of the Chevrolet cars he has up for sale is his 1956 Chevy 210. It is maroon-colored and is also a “Pro Street hot rod built by customizer Jim Van Gordon.” It has a 454 big block engine and more than 600 horsepower. As such, it’s street legal AND ready for the drag strip.
He also has a 1956 Chevy Nomad station wagon. The exterior color is a classic “Cashmere Blue” with white and it once belonged to The Harrah Collection of Reno Nevada. Both cars are being auctioned with “matching, one-of-a-kind EVH Brand ‘Wolfgang’ guitars and a pair of red, white and black EVH striped sneakers.”
“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.”
“I hope the new owners enjoy these cars as much as I have and keep the guitars and cars in their families for a long time, because they are all one-of-a-kind,” said Eddie Van Halen about the sale.
