LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#BarrettJacksonBarrett-Jackson,
The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions®, is continuing its support
of local and national charities during its 9th
Annual Las Vegas Auction
from Oct. 13-15, 2016, at the Mandalay
Bay Resort and Casino
. Organizations supporting United States
veterans and active-duty military, youth programs and medical research
will be among those who will benefit from the generosity of
Barrett-Jackson bidders and donors.


“We’ve helped raise over $90 million to date for deserving charities,
and I look forward to continuing that commitment to the cause at our
upcoming Las Vegas auction,” said Craig
Jackson
, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “It’s always amazing
to see our hobby and the Barrett-Jackson family come together to support
these organizations and create a lasting impact in people’s lives.”

The first-production 2017 Shelby GTE (Lot
#3003
), CSM 17GTE0002 will cross the auction block on Saturday,
October 15, to support Grant A Gift Autism Foundation. Unique to this
specific vehicle and not offered on other production cars is a custom
charcoal carbon-fiber stripe packaged and powder-coated Kenne Bell
Supercharger in Platinum White Metallic to match the car.

Benefiting Camp Southern Ground is a one-of-a-kind 2015 Dodge Ram 2500
Commando (Lot
#3004
) that was meticulously detailed and designed by Grammy
Award-winning artist Zac Brown. Extremely apparent in this vehicle is
Brown’s passion to bring innovative, high-quality and American-made
products for the rugged and refined man. Some of the bespoke highlights
include Mississippi Hornback alligator skin on the seats, center console
and door panels, as well as the Brazilian bovine hair-on-hide floor mats
and sun visor liners.

“During every auction we get the opportunity to support many deserving
organizations through the sale of these charity vehicles,” said Steve
Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “That excitement and that emotion
in the arena is something we all look forward to. We’re honored to play
a role in supporting these organizations and the many people that
benefit from their selfless perseverance.”

Two vehicles will cross the Las Vegas auction block to support United
States veterans and active-duty military. The first, selling on Friday,
October 14, is a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette CRC Conversion (Lot
#3001
). This hand-built vehicle from a highly modified 2004 chassis
by CRCoachworks was donated to the Carrington Charitable Foundation by
its second owner to raise money for support of catastrophically wounded
veterans.

The second vehicle to support America’s troops is selling on Saturday,
#001 of the 150 limited-edition Indian Chief motorcycles built to
celebrate Jack Daniel’s 150th Anniversary (Lot
#3002

iconic brands that share a mutual commitment to independence,
originality and American craftsmanship dating back more than a century.
The sale of this motorcycle will benefit Operation Ride Home, which
assists active-duty U.S. military personnel in traveling home to visit
their families. Admiral French, CEO of Armed Services YMCA, will be on
hand for the auction and will be available for media.
