Due to problems caused by high winds and rain at the recent Scottsdale, Arizona, Barrett-Jackson auction, Project America Heroes III, our ’70 Chevelle charity car, will be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson auction at the Orange County Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa, California (June 25-27) instead of Palm Beach, Florida, in April. Project American Heroes III, built by Route 66 Motorsports in New Lennox, Illinois, features the finest the aftermarket has to offer, including a genuine factory-supercharged LSA small-block. Proceeds from the auction, as always, will go directly to the Armed Forces Foundation, a charity which helps wounded soldiers in need and their families.

The unusually bad weather in Arizona caused a number of scheduling snags at that event and as a result, a number of charity cars weren't able to go across the block there and were re-scheduled for Florida. This meant our Hero was bumped to the next-scheduled Barrett-Jackson event. Barrett-Jackson graciously auctions this car with no fee for either the buyer or the seller and the check for the sale is made directly to the Armed Forces Foundation.
