Project American Heroes II

Be A Hero By Buying Our Camaro

 Sometime between 5 and 7  p.m. on Friday, April 10, Project American Heroes II, our '69 Camaro SS-turned-RS/SS, will go across the block at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach, Florida. Will you be the new owner?


Last year, our '57 Chevy Heroes build raised $130,000 for the Armed Forces Foundation and we hope this F-body exceeds that amount.

If you need an incentive, think of First Lt. Mark Little, who will share the stage with PAH II in Palm Beach. He served in Iraq and lost both legs in combat. Your generosity will help people like him and their families. And if you can't buy the car, please make a donation to the Armed Forces Foundation. It's a worthy cause and will make you feel good about yourself.

Check out the report below from Joe Rode, Super Chevy's associate publisher.


Well, the time is almost here. Only a short time remains until we see the fruits of our labor and generous financial support from all of our sponsors, our gorgeous ‘69 Camaro, put on the auction block at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach, FL. The car is lot #369.1 and is slatted to be sold between 5:00-7:00 pm EDT on this Friday, August 10. The sale will be taped delayed on the Speed Channel from 8:00pm - 12 Midnight on the same night. Super Chevy staffers publisher Ed Zinke, editor Jim Campisano, and web editor Patrick Hill will be on hand to roll her up the ramp and Congressman Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) will speak on behalf of the Armed Forces Foundation.
 
We’d like to give a special mention of thanks this week to some of the project’s supporters.  We were recently privileged to have the opportunity to visit K&N Engineering in California with the Project American Heroes Camaro. Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck and his team spent some time fabricating a custom air intake in their R&D facility. While the car was in their possession, they made a real nice video about the project and have it posted on their website and youtube. Take a look when you get a chance http://www.knfilters.com/video/American_Heroes.htm
The folks at Detroit Speed and Barrett-Jackson have also been very gracious to us with their website promotions of the project.
 
Our brothers at Hot Rod magazine will again be donating free registration for the Hot Rod Power Tour to the new owner of the Camaro. Roger Gustin of Auto Star productions will be doing the same for his Super Chevy Show series. And lastly, Dave Wilson from Intercity Lines will be donating free transportation of the car to the new owner’s home anywhere in the continental 48 states.
 
Great stuff from great folks in our wonderful industry!
So say a pray or cross your fingers or both in hopes that the wallets will open wide for the Armed Forces Foundation and our servicemen and women.
 
And as always, a huge thanks goes out to all of you from all of us here at Super Chevy.
