Several SEMA-member companies teamed up with Super Chevy magazine to build a one-of-a-kind vehicle to benefit the Armed Forces Foundation. The custom ’69 Chevy Camaro convertible was sold for $500,000 on April 10 at the 7th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car auction in Palm Beach, Florida. It brought the highest-selling price of any vehicle at the event. All proceeds will go to the nonprofit Armed Forces Foundation, which provides financial assistance to families of fallen or disabled veterans.

“Project American Heroes” began last year when Detroit Speed & Engineering, Classic Industries and Rt. 66 Motorsports united with the editors of Super Chevy to restore and customize the classic '69 Chevrolet Rally Sport Camaro.

The car is equipped with a state-of-the-art Detroit Speed suspension system, Turn Key 560 hp, 427ci Chevy engine, TCI automatic transmission with a Gear Vendors overdrive, Strange Posi-traction rearend, Vintage Air air conditioning, Baer Brakes, Intro Custom aluminum Wheels, and all-new sheetmetal and interior components from Classic Industries.

Armed Forces personnel were invited to select the vehicle’s color scheme, interior design and exterior trim via the Project American Heroes website. The entire construction process was covered by Super Chevy, including a special 100-page commemorative Super Chevy issue, “Build an Extreme ’69 Camaro.”

DELIBERATIONS: As of Tuesday morning, a jury continued to deliberate over the fate of two-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves, his sister Katiucia and attorney Alan Miller. The trio are charged with conspiring to hide a portion of Castroneves’s income from the Internal Revenue Service.

SPONSOR ONE: Richard Petty Motorsports has landed sponsorship from Hunt Brothers Pizza that will keep A.J. Allmendinger and the No. 44 Dodge on the track at least through the first 26 races of the season.

SPONSOR TWO: Patron Tequila will back Scott Sharp in a run at the Indianapolis 500 this season. Sharp, who drives for Patron in the American Le Mans Series, will drive a second car entered by Panther Racing, as a teammate to Dan Wheldon.

THE LAST RIDE: Jesse Hockett and Terry Goodwin were the winners on the final night of racing at historic Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix. Hockett won the sprint-car race, and Goodwin copped the midget feature.

BIG DOINGS: NASCAR will move its NASCAR Whelen All-American Series banquet to the Embassy Suites Hotel in Concord, North Carolina, this year and follow it up a day later with the NASCAR Night of Champions Touring Gala recognizing champs from five NASCAR touring divisions.
