LAS VEGAS  – Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car AuctionsTM, is teaming up with the country’s top automobile manufacturers to auction four vehicles to benefit local and national charities during its Las Vegas auction Sept. 25 – 27 at the Mandalay Bay Event Center.

Live coverage of the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Las Vegas will be broadcast on the FOX family of networks and National Geographic during the channel’s 23 hours of live, high-definition TV coverage on Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 25 – 27.

“The cars slated to be auctioned in Las Vegas for charity are truly impressive,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Chrysler, Ford and Chevrolet have assembled an impressive group of cars to cross our block in support of their charities. We’re proud to give them the platform to help people get the support they need.”

The sale of one-of-one special edition 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat (Lot #3004), the fastest and most powerful muscle car ever, will benefit the not-for-profit Opportunity Village organization of Las Vegas.  The Hellcat’s 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI® V-8 engine and 0001 vehicle identification number (VIN), has an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 10.8 seconds at 126 mph, 707 horsepower and 650 ft/lb of torque on tap right from the assembly line. Adding to the exclusivity, the donated muscle car will be the only Dodge Challenger to ever have a Viper-exclusive Stryker Red exterior—hand-painted at the Dodge Viper paint facility—and it will include special Hellcat badging, specific VIN documentation and one-of-a-kind memorabilia. The Hellcat will be sold on Saturday, Sept. 27, at approximately 6 p.m.

Ford Motor Company

Each limited-edition car features a plaque on the instrument panel engraved with a serial number and the signature of Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman Bill Ford.

“Chrysler, Ford and Chevrolet have really outdone themselves for this year’s Las Vegas auction,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “The desire and collectability for these cars is simply unmatched. Our team is proud to be a part of the auction of these cars and waive all bidding and consignment fees so that 100 percent of the sales can go directly to the charities.”
