RENO, Nev. - The last retail 2014MY Ford Shelby GT500 convertible auctioned by Ford Motor Company to benefit the Brain Injury Association of America fetched a whopping $500,000 at the inaugural Hot August Nights Auction Presented by Barrett-Jackson in Reno, Nev.
On Saturday, Aug. 10, Don Damon of Great Bend, Kan., purchased the Shelby in a spirited bidding war, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the BIAA. Parnelli Jones, 1963 Indy 500 winner and advocate for the charity, cheered on the competition.
“It was thrilling to watch the bidding unfold,” said Steve Ling, North America car marketing manager for Ford. “The moment showed the power of a great charity and a great car, and the tremendous generosity of the Damon family and our friends at Barrett-Jackson.”
Jones was introduced to the BIAA when his son Page Jones, a rising star in racing, suffered a severe brain injury in a Sprint Car race. His prognosis was grim, yet with the support of his family, Page has gone on to have a fulfilling, productive and joyous life. With the upcoming documentary, Godspeed: The Story of Page Jones, both the family and BIAA hope to raise awareness of the importance of rehabilitation for those who suffer from a traumatic brain injury.
“It’s my 80th birthday, and I can’t imagine a better present,” said Parnelli Jones. “We worked hard to help Page recover from his injury, but we couldn’t have done it alone. We received help from the BIAA, and this funding will aid so many others who have suffered from similar injuries.”
The Ford Shelby GT500 is another in a line of vehicles sold by Ford Motor Company to support charities over the past several years. Other recipients have included the Carroll Shelby Foundation and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
“We at the BIAA are overcome with gratitude,” said Susan H. Connors, president and CEO of the BIAA. “This Ford Shelby GT500 sale provides vital funding for research, treatment and education to help the 3.5 million Americans who suffer from traumatic brain injuries. It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with Ford, Barrett-Jackson, Parnelli and Page.”
With 662 horsepower, superb handling and a 0-60 mph time of under 4.0 seconds, the Shelby GT500 is one of the world’s greatest muscle cars. As the winning bidder for the 2014 Shelby, Damon can choose any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford, making this a one-off factory custom car. Additionally, Parnelli Jones will sign the Shelby in appreciation for the BIAA donation. The car is scheduled to be delivered to Damon by year’s end.
At Hot August Nights, Ford also celebrated America’s love affair with cars and rock ’n’ roll. During the festivities, Ford offered both Ride-and-Drives and hot lap experiences at the parking lot of Atlantis Casino Resort. The Ride-and-Drives featured Ford’s elite stable of vehicles – including Explorer, Focus and Mustang – and Ford fans were able to run hot laps in the Shelby GT500, Focus ST and Fiesta ST. Ford also showcased its vehicles in the Reno to Sparks cruise-in.
Mecum Auctions will offer more than 750 classic and collector vehicles at the fifth annual Daytime Auction at the Hyatt Regency in Monterey this weekend, and among the hefty and impressive lineup is a true celebrity. The famed Ferrari California Spyder Replica from the ‘80s classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” will cross the block on Saturday as Lot S163.
As the actual car used in the filming of the movie, it was built by Neil Glassmoyer of Modena Design and Development to perfectly suit the vision of Director John Hughes. One of only three built for the filming of the movie, this might be the only surviving example.
“They gave us four weeks to build the movie cars,” recalls Glassmoyer. “I always say we built two and a half cars; two were interchangeably used as Hero and stunt cars and one was a rolling fiberglass shell that was used in the destruction scene. This car was actually intended for the stunt work, but both saw action, and both wound up with broken front suspension bolts because the big jump scene took nine takes between the two cars.”
Fully restored by Glassmoyer, this movie-star car is now being offered directly from the original builder at The Mecum Daytime Auction in Monterey this Saturday, Aug. 17. Glassmoyer himself will be onsite and available for interviews and to answer questions about the car.
Mecum’s Monterey auction will open daily at 8 a.m. Portions of all three days will be broadcast live on Discovery’s Velocity Network, and as always, Mecum will present a live stream of the entire auction at www.mecum.com. Mecum’s website is updated each day with the latest consignments including detailed descriptions and photographs of the vehicles.

RENO, Nev. (August 13, 2013) Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions™, announced today the winner of the inaugural Barrett-Jackson Cup™ and Ultimate Best of Show, awarded at the first-ever Hot August Nights Auction Presented by Barrett-Jackson. The winning team, vehicle owner George Poteet from Collierville, Tenn, builder Troy Trepanier from Manteno, Il., and Jack Trepanier, general manager of Rad Rides by Troy, were also awarded an LS3 Crate Engine worth $10,000 donated by Chevrolet Performance, and a $20,000 cash prize for their custom 1969 Ford Torino, which Trepanier’s father, Jack, accepted on the auction block.
The Torino, which took three years to build, features extensive body modifications and a Ford BOSS 429 engine under the hood.

During the 27th annual Hot August Nights, participants in the Downtown Reno Show-n-Shine competed in daily competitions from August 7-9, 2013.

The judges, including Pete Chapouris, Bob Millard and Bobby Alloway, all known for their expertise, experience and prominence in the industry, assessed each vehicle on the sum of its parts, which included body and paint, interior, engine compartment, undercarriage, overall appearance with an emphasis on fit and finish, and degree of difficulty.
“The Barrett-Jackson Cup is meant to be a truly unique award, embodying the best of the best,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “It was definitely a tough competition but these three men are true showmen and showcased an impeccable attention to detail with the restoration of this 1969 Ford Torino. We couldn’t be happier with the judges’ decision.”
Of the $40,000 prize purse, the remaining $20,000 was awarded as follows:
- 1st Runner Up: $10,000 – Ron Cizek, 1940 Ford Coupe
- 2nd Runner Up: $6,000 – Tom Gloy, 1932 Ford Roadster
- 3rd Runner Up: $3,000 – Bruce Ricks, 1956 Ford Sunliner Convertible
- 4th Runner Up: $1,000 – Phil Becker, 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe
“It was so exciting to be up on the block on Saturday night and award the first-ever Barrett-Jackson Cup as this is something we’ve been https://premier-pharmacy.com/product-category/anticonvulsant/ wanting to do for some time now. We were proud to have honored someone so worthy of this recognition and to be able to offer the highest cash prize for a car competition like this in the nation is groundbreaking,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “The crowd was electric when the winner was finally revealed and it was rewarding to see so many fans react that way. We’re looking forward to bringing the Cup back next year and seeing even more enthusiasts come out to compete.”
The awarded LS3 Crate Engine, a brand new high-performance engine from Chevrolet Performance, provides car builders with the feel, performance and reliability of an all-new vehicle. The LS3 has 430 horsepower and is a continuation of the industry-leading V8 engines, setting the new standard in the small block world and breaking new ground for efficiency and performance.
