SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#barrettjacksonBarrett-Jackson,
The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions®, will help raise
funds for charities supporting U.S. veterans, children and medical
research during the 46th Annual Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, to
be held Jan. 14-22, 2017, at WestWorld of Scottsdale in Arizona. Among
the most anticipated vehicles crossing the block for charity is Rock and
Roll Hall of Famer Steven Tyler’s 2012 Hennessey Venom GT Spyder (Lot
#3003
), with 100 percent of the hammer price benefiting Janie’s Fund.


“To date, Barrett-Jackson has helped raise in excess of $91 million for
charity,” said Craig
Jackson
, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “But almost as
important as the funds we help raise is the awareness we bring to the
organizations that are bringing so much good to our communities. Giving
these amazing charities a chance to tell their story on live,
international TV inspires all of us. We’re grateful to be a part of such
a powerful movement for good, and look forward to the goodwill that will
come from the sale of our charity vehicles in Scottsdale.”

Celebrity personalities including Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith
and former judge on American Idol, will be onstage Friday, Jan. 20, to
help sell his 2012 Hennessey Venom GT Spyder (Lot
#3003
). Offered from his personal collection, this Venom GT is five
of 12 created and the first of the Spyder convertibles. This 7.0-liter
V8 mid-engine, rear-wheel drive supercar produces 1,244 horsepower that
sprints from 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds and 0-200 mph in 14.5 seconds. One
hundred percent of the hammer price will benefit Janie’s
Fund
, which is dedicated to providing resources to help abused girls.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., world-champion pro stock car driver and team owner,
is coming to the Barrett-Jackson stage on Saturday, Jan. 21, to help
sell two vehicles that will each benefit Nationwide
Children’s Hospital
, a leading pediatric care facility and research
institute. Donated by Chevrolet, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle (Lot
#3006
) that Earnhardt helped design is a contemporary Resto-Mod
muscle car that uses a new GM Restoration Parts-licensed Dynacorn
reproduction body and modern coilover suspension system. Lot
#3006.1
is Earnhardt’s Hendrick Motorsports No. 88 Nationwide
Chevrolet SS that he raced in six NASCAR Cup Series races between 2014
and 2015.

to help out these great charities,” said Steve

to help people who are struggling and in need of our combined efforts.”
