Every auction Barrett-Jackson partners with non-profits to raise money on the block by auctioning off at no cost to the charity rare and collectible cars. This year’s Las Vegas auction is no exception with Barrett-Jackson’s own Steve Davis auctioning his own Ford Fairlane 500 for Armed Forces Foundation.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 benefiting the YMCA of Southern Nevada

Lot #674.3 is a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 powered by the LSA Supercharged 6.2-Liter V8 engine producing an estimated 550 horsepower. The Camaro is offered by Fairway Chevrolet of Las Vegas, and all proceeds from the sale will benefit the YMCA of Southern Nevada, an organization committed to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility in Southern Nevada. The ultimate in performance technology, this is the fastest and the most technically advanced Camaro ever offered by Chevrolet; the ZL1 name is derived from the racing engine that was installed in a handful of 1969 Camaros, representing the pinnacle in Camaro performance — until now.

The legendary, refined aluminum engine is matched with a six-speed manual transmission. Displayed in its pre-production form, the 69th production 2012 Camaro ZL1 will go to the winning bidder, who will be able to select any available options from a long list. This will be the only production vehicle in the Carbon Flash Metallic color.

The next featured charity car is a 2006 Shelby Cobra roadster by Factory Five. This Cobra re-creation is a beautiful example in Vista Blue and is powered by a small block Ford V8 with a five-speed transmission.

The sale of this celebrity Lot will be nationally televised live on SPEED as the Cobra is offered as a No Reserve vehicle. Proceeds from the sale will go directly to the Minot Area Community Foundation Recovery Fund, which will play an active role in flood relief by supporting recovery and restoration throughout the greater Minot area, including the counties of Ward, Renville, Bottineau and McHenry, all of which experienced record-breaking flooding from the swollen Souris River in mid-2011.

2009 Ford F-150 Custom “Freedom” Truck benefiting the Fisher House Foundation

The Fisher House Foundation serves more than 12,000 military families by aiding military families in need and by providing “comfort homes” built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one during hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease or injury. The foundation will be benefitted by the auction of Lot #79, a 2009 Ford F-150 Custom “Freedom” truck. Ford Motor Company, Malibu Customz and Mickey Harris have joined forces to create a unique vehicle that pays tribute to the men and women of our armed forces: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and the National Guard. Mickey Harris customized this truck with murals honoring all the service branches. Malibu Customz added carbon fiber and other products. The one-of-a-kind truck made its debut at the 2009 SEMA convention and was the focal point of the Ford display. After SEMA, it toured the country visiting military bases, NASCAR races and car shows, and the Pentagon.
