Six special vehicles will be sold during Barrett-Jackson’s Las Vegas auction Sept. 20-22 in charity sales that have become signature features of Barrett-Jackson events, so far raising $48 million for worthy causes.
“This year’s Barrett-Jackson charity vehicles support some of the nation’s most active and worthy causes,” said Craig Jackson, Barrett-Jackson chairman and CEO. “One-hundred percent of the proceeds from the auctions for these six vehicles will help both people and animals that so desperately need it.”
During the upcoming Las Vegas auction and the Scottsdale auction in January, Barrett-Jackson is hoping to cross the threshold of $50 million in charity sales, with just $2 million to go. Barrett-Jackson has become a leader in the collector-car industry for philanthropic efforts, donating hundreds of hours of block time over the years and waiving all fees for charity sales.
The following charity cars will be offered during the auction at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino event, with 20 hours of live TV coverage on SPEED, including the approximate time of the sale:
• 2005 Ford Mustang GT Platt & Payne Signature Edition (Lot #2001) – Combining unique styling, state-of-the-art components plus unprecedented power and performance. All proceeds will benefit the Darrell Gwynn Foundation, which supplies special wheelchairs for needy young people. Will be sold at approximately 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20.
• 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 coupe (Lot #2002) – The official pace car at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park for the American Le Mans Series event July 20-22. All proceeds will benefit the YMCA of Southern Nevada. Will be sold at approximately 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21.
• 2013 Cadillac ATS (Lot #2003) – Sale of the all-new Cadillac ATS compact luxury sports sedan, Premium Collection, will benefit Team Joseph, which funds research to cure Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Will be sold at approximately 2:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21.
• 1955 Chevrolet 210 hardtop (Lot #2004) – This all-original 1955 Chevrolet 210 with less than 8,600 documented original miles will be sold to benefit two cancer-fighting causes: the Festival of Hope and the Russ and Brian Jackson Cancer Research Fund at T-Gen. Will be sold at approximately 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22.
• 1970 Chevrolet Nova custom coupe (Lot #2005) – Frame-off rotisserie restoration in Pro-Touring style, to benefit The Mission Continues, which aids wounded and disabled veterans. Will be sold at approximately 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22.
• 2012 Ford F-150 custom pickup (Lot #2006) – The custom Greg Biffle Roush Performance-built Ford Raptor in support of the Sherwin-Williams Plant Color All-Star Charity Challenge, with all proceeds benefitting the Greg Biffle Foundation, designed to create awareness and advocate for the well-being of animals. Will be sold at approximately 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22.
