Barrett-Jackson: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro “Bank Roll” by Weaver Customs

One of the things that separates a good restomod from a great one is attention to detail. It is relatively easy for an automotive shop or even a serious hobbyist to build a classic car with a powerful engine, modern suspension, and upgraded brakes. Creating a vehicle where every component works together as part of a cohesive design is a much greater challenge. The best builders understand that success lies not only in performance, but also in the countless details that many people may never notice.

A perfect example is this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro nicknamed “Bank Roll,” a stunning custom build by Weaver Customs of West Jordan, Utah. I saw this car on display at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2026 collector car auction, where it crossed the block for an impressive $269,500.

At first glance, Bank Roll is recognizable as a first-generation Camaro, but a closer inspection reveals just how extensive the modifications really are. The body has been heavily reworked with flush-mounted glass, a custom hood, front and rear restyling, and extensive one-off metal fabrication throughout. The roofline has been modified, while the bumpers have been tucked, narrowed, and shaved for a cleaner appearance.

Additional custom touches include a handcrafted decklid, a hand-fabricated tail pan, and a one-off billet aluminum grille. The underside of the car has been belly panned, further enhancing the clean and refined presentation. The custom-mixed paint color is complemented by accent pieces finished in Cerakote Titanium Bronze, giving the Camaro a distinctive appearance without being overly flashy.

Underneath the bodywork is a full custom tube chassis with an integrated roll cage. The rear suspension utilizes a four-link setup with RideTech adjustable coilovers, while a Ford 9-inch rear end handles the substantial power output. Wilwood 14-inch disc brakes provide the stopping power necessary for a vehicle of this caliber.

The centerpiece of the build is a massive 632 cubic-inch Chevrolet big block V8 equipped with an eight-stack fuel injection system. Producing approximately 850 horsepower, the engine delivers enough power to make the lightweight Camaro an extremely serious performer. A Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission puts the driver firmly in control of all that horsepower.

One particularly interesting feature is the custom exhaust system. Fabricated headers feed a set of 4-inch oval pipes that exit through the center of the rear bodywork between the taillights. The arrangement is both functional and visually striking.

The interior was crafted by Custom Innovation Interiors and upholstered in Hydes Pelle Fresco Commando leather. Modern amenities include Dakota Digital HDX gauges, an American Autowire wiring system, and a Kicker stereo system. The result is a cabin that combines contemporary comfort with classic muscle car styling.

The sheer amount of fabrication work that went into Bank Roll is impressive. From the custom chassis and body modifications to the handcrafted metalwork and powerful drivetrain, nearly every aspect of the car has been reimagined. It is a Camaro that successfully blends show-quality craftsmanship with serious performance, making it easy to understand why it attracted strong bidding at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale.

Supercars both old and new dominated the list of Top 10 cars sold at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2026 auction. Let’s take a look at the top 10 most expensive cars that crossed the block during this event.

1. Lot #1377 – 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe – $2,530,000

Mercedes-Benz produced approximately 1,400 examples of the 300 SL Coupe between 1954-57. These cars are widely considered to be the first supercar, in terms of its cutting-edge technology and performance for its time – not to mention those signature gullwing doors. This car was fully restored in 2008 and includes extensive documentation, tools, and factory-correct fitted luggage. To no one’s surprise, this car was the top seller.

2. Lot #1378 – 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster – $1,870,000

Approximately 1,858 300 SL roadsters were produced between 1957-63. This car is finished in an elegant blue metallic paint over a tan interior, and it looks absolutely stunning. This one was restored in Canada and is said to be in excellent mechanical condition.

3. Lot #1365 – 2022 Ford GT – $1,100,000

The second-generation Ford GT has been an extremely desirable car since it debuted in 2017. This one is finished in Ingot Silver exterior with Competition Orange stripes over a Dark Energy interior.

4. Lot #1366 – 2019 McLaren Senna – $1,870,000

The Senna is McLaren’s track-focused supercar. Its 4.0-liter Twin Turbo V8 engine produces a massive 789 horsepower, while the body features numerous aerodynamic tricks to slice through the air. This one is number 422 of 500 units produced, and features more than $379,000 in factory options, further enhancing its exclusivity.

5. Lot #1379 – 1963 Chevrolet Corvette 327/360 Z06 “Big Tank” Split-Window Coupe – $1,100,000

The ultimate collector Corvette might well be this 1963 Z06 Split Window coupe with the “Big Tank” 36.5-gallon fiberglass fuel tank, one of only 63 produced with this option. With a full restoration by the Naber Brothers in 2015, this car has secured numerous awards including an NCRS Top Flight Award and Bloomington Gold Certificate.

6. Lot #1382 – 2022 Ford GT ’64 Heritage Edition – $1,237,500

The 2022 Ford GT is already a special car, but the ’64 Heritage Edition, limited to just 27 units, is even more special. Featuring Wimbledon White paint with blue racing stripes, exterior carbon fiber, and other design elements that honor the GT/105 prototype.

7. Lot #1378.1 – 2021 McLaren Elva – $1,512,500

The McLaren Elva is basically a go-kart for grown ups. Limited to just 149 units, this car is number 49 and wears a beautiful Nerello red metallic exterior color. It is not equipped with the optional windshield, which is staggering considering the car’s 804 horsepower engine and 203 mph top speed.

8. Lot #1381 – 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO – $1,622,500

Low mileage, limited production, and Ferrari are three things that go hand-in-hand. This 2011 599 GTO has just 531 actual miles from new, one of just 599 examples built, and it wears the Scuderia shields on its fenders. This rare V12 Ferrari with the F1 transmission is sure to be the jewel of any collection.

9. Lot #1383 – 2023 Porsche Brabus 900 Rocket R – $1,100,000

German tuning company Brabus is most known for upgrading Mercedes-Benz vehicles. For the first time, this Brabus-upgraded Porsche 911s crossed the block in the six-figure territory. One of just 25 examples one of two cars in the U.S., and the only one finished in Mexico Blue, this 900 horsepower beast is as rare and special as you could hope for.

10. Lot #1426 – 1966 Lincoln Continental Custom Convertible – $1,100,000

2023 Brabus 900 Rocket R Takes Porsche 911 Tuning to New Heights

Since it debuted more than 60 years ago, the Porsche 911 has become one of the most iconic and recognizable sports cars of all time. Its legendary status makes it a popular choice for tuners and modifiers to enhance the car’s capabilities even further.
Porsche offers factory-tuned and limited edition models of the 911, but for those seeking something a bit more special, there are companies such as: Gunther Werks, RUF, Singer, and Canepa, as well as bespoke tuners like Magnus Walker and Rauh-Welt Begriff (RWB).

A few years ago, German tuning and design company Brabus began modifying Porsches, too. Brabus is most well-known as a tuner of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In 2020, they began production of the Brabus Rocket, a highly modified version of the 911 Turbo S.

One of these cars will be crossing the auction block at the 2026 Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The car is a 2023 Brabus 900 Rocket R, and it is an incredibly special car. This is a car for someone who wants a 911 that has been elevated to new heights. Let’s take a deep dive into what makes this car so special.

To start, the Brabus 900 Rocket R is incredibly limited, with just 25 units produced worldwide. Adding to the exclusivity, this car is one of just two that are street legal in the United States, and the only one finished in “Mexico Blue” exterior paint. Owing to its blue exterior over blue interior, the car is appropriately nicknamed “Blue Magic.”

While the standard 911 Turbo S has about 640 horsepower, the Rocket R makes 900 horsepower from its 3.8L twin-turbo flat-six engine, and 1,000 n-m of torque. This is coupled to Porsche’s superb 8-speed PDK gearbox, which blends everyday usability with race-level performance. It is a potent combination that delivers exhilarating performance across the powerband. This allows the car to rocket from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, 0-120 mph in 7.2 seconds, and a top speed of 211 mph.

 

The car features a full exterior treatment including WIDESTAR front and rear bumpers, carbon fiber lip spoiler, and carbon fiber side mirrors. The car is approximately 2.6 inches wider than a stock 911 Turbo S. The air ducts in the front fenders are fully functional, helping to expel heat from the wheel arches.

Other Brabus upgrades include: Brabus height-adjustable suspension and shock absorbers, Brabus brakes, Brabus carbon fiber body package, and a full luxury interior with leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber.

The car features a Brabus Inconel high-performance exhaust system with four tailpipes. Inconel is a special alloy of steel that is developed for high temperatures. It is mostly used in the aerospace industry on rockets, making it a perfect fit for the Brabus 900 Rocket R. The exhaust has electronically controlled valves with two modes – a “Coming Home” mode that is perfect for a relaxed cruise, or a “Sport” mode that allows for experiencing the full range of the car’s powerful 900 hp engine.

The car rides on a set of Brabus Monoblock P Platinum Edition wheels with carbon aero discs, which measure 21 inches up front and 22 inches in the rear. Wrapped in Continental SportContact 7 tires, they are sure to provide maximum grip.

This is a 911 done to a very high level, and one that just a few lucky owners will get to experience.

The car’s original MSRP was $585,000 USD, so it will be interesting to see what it sells for in January 2026. This car will be crossing the block at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2026 collector car auction, with NO RESERVE price.
