Barrett-Jackson to Raise Funds, Awareness for Charities with Help from Las Vegas Raiders, Gaudin Motor Company and Hendrick Motorsports
Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, will continue to build on its 50-year tradition of supporting charity with the sale of four vehicles, including the first Badland Raiders Edition 2021 Ford Bronco 4-Door (Lot #3002), during the 2021 Las Vegas Auction, June 17-19, at the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). To date, Barrett-Jackson has raised more than $133 million for over 175 organizations through the sale of collectible vehicles.
“Giving back to communities has been at the heart of our company from the beginning,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Some of our greatest charity auction moments over the years have occurred in Las Vegas. We look forward to creating new memories this year as we support several worthy causes, both locally and nationally, alongside some amazing organizations like the Las Vegas Raiders, Gaudin Motor Company and Hendrick Motorsports.”
The Las Vegas Raiders and Gaudin Motor Company have teamed up for the ultimate fan collectible, a Badlands Raiders Edition 2021 Ford Bronco 4-Door (Lot #3002). Powered by a 2.7-liter EcoBoost, this fully outfitted Bronco featuring the Sasquatch Package will be wrapped in Las Vegas Raiders regalia and 100 percent of its sale will benefit the Las Vegas-based Grant A Gift Autism Foundation, as well as the Raiders Foundation.
Donated by Hendrick Motorsports, the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Hertz/Hendrick Motorsports Edition (Lot #3003) is #001 of only 24 commissioned, and is the most powerful ever offered. Under the hand-built carbon-fiber hood, a Callaway supercharger and intercooler pumps up the V8 to an incredible 750 horsepower. Its special appearance package features Hertz Yellow graphics with the HMS #24 logo, complemented by matching Hertz Yellow painted brake calipers. One hundred percent of the hammer price will benefit the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation.
“Each charity vehicle we auction is a symbol of the compassion and generosity of the collector car community,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “It’s a blessing to witness the sale of vehicles that benefit organizations who support countless individuals and families in need. We will write another special chapter in our legacy with the sale of four charity vehicles in Las Vegas, each with their own special purpose and cause.”
Benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Detroit, the 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat AWD (Lot #3000) is one of only 3,000 built for the 2021 model year. Finished in Destroyer Gray with dual Gunmetal Stripes, it is powered by a 710 horsepower HEMI Hellcat V8 capable of a 0-60 time in 3.5 seconds. It comes equipped with the Premium Interior Group package and Harmon Kardon sound system.
The 1956 Chevrolet 150 sedan (Lot #3001) was originally delivered to the Sioux Army Depot in 1956 and used as a staff car. After passing through two subsequent owners, it was carefully brought back into complete running order by the fourth owner. A true barn find, this rolling time capsule underwent a variety of repairs during its restoration. Powered by a 216ci inline-6 engine mated to a 3-speed manual transmission, this piece of history will be sold to benefit the Honor Flight Network.
