Ron the car turned out great and it is a great cause.

I am going to try to get out there this year and watch it cross the stand. I quit going for a long time because it became such a zoo (I remember it from 35 yrs ago when it a much cozier affair) but I am going to try to get there this year...

Mike, my first time for BJ must have been '79 or '80. It was across the street from the Phoenix Zoo. Just a Leeeeetle bit smaller then.

Me too - it used to be there at Phoenix Muni stadium. Just walk up to the cars, go in the tent and watch the whole auction and I think it cost 8 bucks to get in. Didn’t even have to be one of the beautiful people to go in the auction on Friday night and sit up front....and there were a helluva lot fewer people standing around on the auction block...

Ron I saw it cross the block and it looked Terrific!

Ron,
The car looked great and for a great cause! Got a handsome sum, too. Good going!

Thank You to Pam & Ron Evans for their generous donation to charity of this custom SPF. Here is the youtube video of the auction sale taken with my iphone sitting right in front of the TV. Did not see Ron or Pam in the onstage crowd.
Don't know who bought it. Really cool car. 3+ minute video.

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.

It was Craig Jackson who bought it for $200000 and another person donated $50000. Pam and I feel blessed to be able to give back to a great charity. What you couldn’t see from stage was the light up stripes that had 350 hours in the lumilor alone that make them glow like a light bulb at night or with lights turned off.

Happy Trails
