“IT BECAME MY DREAM TO ONE DAY OWN BOTH THE BEAUTY OF A
TRI-FIVE AND THE PINNACLE OF CHEVY POWER, THE LS6 AND L78,”

BARRETT-JACKSON PRESENTS THE RASER COLLECTION
If you have ever dreamed of wandering through a
garage known for having only the best, look no further.
The Raser Collection is here to turn dreams into reality,
offering 24 of the finest classic and performance-
oriented Chevrolets around. The collection grew out of
Gary Raser’s love and enthusiasm for the bowtie brand,
particularly Raser’s strong affinity for the “Tri-Five”
(1955-57 full-size Chevys).
“Growing up dirt poor in Southern California and
Nevada, I can remember as a kid seeing those beautiful
multi-colored Tri-Five works of art going down the
road and thinking ... one day we might get one,”
said Raser. Raised during the peak of the muscle-car
era, Raser would become smitten with muscle cars,
especially Chevrolets, after seeing the muscular lines of
the 1966 396 SS Chevelle. When the time was right, he
set forth curating a collection of the best Chevelles and
Tri-Fives around.
“It became my dream to one day own both the beauty
of a Tri-Five and the pinnacle of Chevy power, the LS6
and L78,” Raser said. “And thankfully, through a lot of
hard work, I was able to put many of those dreams in
my garage. And now it’s my honor to pass them on to
the next dreamer.”
The incredible collection includes some of the most
coveted, original and restored classic Chevys spanning
nearly two decades and celebrating Chevrolet’s
advancements in design and engineering. This is a
