Ford Returns To 'Hot August Nights' With A Charitable Spirit
Ford Motor Company is returning to Hot August Nights which runs from August 2-11, 2013, and is making its mark in a big way. In the charitable spirit of the event, Ford is selling the last retail 2014MY Shelby GT500 Convertible in Reno, where it will be sold at no reserve during the inaugural Hot August Nights Auction. Profits from the sale will benefit the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA), an organization championed by Indy 500 winner, Parnelli Jones, who will attend the auction. The winning bidder of this special vehicle can choose any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the 2014 Shelby, making this a one-off factory custom car. Additionally, Jones will sign the Shelby in appreciation for the BIAA donation.
“With 662 horsepower, superb handling and a 0-60km/h time below 4.0 seconds, the Shelby GT500 is already one of the world’s greatest muscle cars,” said Steve Ling, North America car marketing manager for Ford. “So, while the thrill of owning such a rare and important car is certainly appealing, the owner of this convertible will also help further critical research needed to treat serious brain trauma. We’re honored to support Parnelli and the organization’s efforts.”
At Hot August Nights, Ford will also celebrate America’s love affair with cars and rock and roll. During the festivities, Ford will be offering both Ride-and-Drive and hot laps experiences at the parking lot of the Atlantis Casino Resort. The Ride-and-Drive will feature Ford’s elite stable of vehicles – including the Explorer, Focus and Mustang – and Ford fans will be able to test their mettle running hot laps in such vehicles as a Shelby GT500, Focus ST and Fiesta ST. Also, while supplies last, Ford is giving Ride-and-Drive participants day passes to the Hot August Nights Auction Presented by Barrett-Jackson.
