The other thing that is rather unique about this is that it is a personal (not Corporate America) donation. Yours and mine are, I think, the only ones so far, or at least as far back as my memory goes.

Actually, indirectly, I've had two (nearly identical) cars go through for Charity. In 2009 we donated a Shelby GT Barrett Jackson edition to the Shelby Foundation. I owned two of them - both convertibles only different in that one was manual the other auto, the manual being the charity car. I later sold the automatic car to a fellow in Florida. He did some interior changes that I didn't like. My wife told me I could buy it back but I would have wanted it more original. At that auction Elle Chesney (a collector of mostly older cars like Packards) bought it and immediately gave it to Craig for T-Gen. It was auctioned at the next auction for T-Gen and got a pretty good chunk of change too.

Craig is a major supporter of T-gen due to his father and/or brother having died from colon cancer.
