Victory Junction will have two custom cars on the auction block at the 39th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. January 18th-24, 2010. Both cars are appearing on this year’s cover of the Barrett-Jackson Program and proceeds will benefit Victory Junction.
For the second year in a row Hurst and the Woodhouse Auto Family have teamed up to support Victory Junction by supplying another car to the famous auto auction, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the newest Victory Junction in Kansas City, Kansas.
The 2010 BFGoodrich/Hurst Mustang convertible, built by Hurst Performance in conjunction with Woodhouse Auto Family of Blair, Nebraska and BFGoodrich set the pace for Victory Junction’s 4th annual Run to Victory, on December 13th in Randleman, North Carolina. After departing the race, the pace car made a stop at BFGoodrich’s headquarters in Greenville, South Carolina.
The BFGoodrich/Hurst Mustang Pace Car comes equipped with 20” BF Goodrich g-Force™ T/A® KDW tires for maximum performance; 20” Hurst polished, forged aluminum wheels and a Hurst Competition/Plus short-throw shifter with a gold anodized T-handle.
The engine boasts 435-horsepower and 400 lb.-ft of torque, courtesy of the ROUSH Supercharger, Magnaflow stainless-steel exhaust and a K&N Air Filter. The car also has a special Wilwood brakes, Hurst-tuned Eibach Suspension, coil-over adjustable shocks, springs and sway bar.
A long time supporter of Victory Junction, the SEMA Cares foundation, will also have a car at the highly renowned auto auction. The lubricant experts at WD-40 and the SEMA Cares foundation teamed up and built a wild Custom Camaro for the 2009 SEMA Show. After the show the one-off vehicle was shipped to the Barrett-Jackson auction with proceeds going to benefit Childhelp and Victory Junction.
Painted blue and yellow, the car will get a custom aero kit, interior, wheels and a SportsRyder Extreme coilover suspension. There are also plans for under the hood, where the 6.2-liter V8 will get a power increase from 426hp to 600!
