snowboard for a great barrett-jackson moment
i mean it happens really quick you don't prepare for any of this shane was diagnosed with e coli
and his body was basically shutting down we knew immediately that we weren't going to leave the
side so we immediately started asking people like where can we stay the ronald mcdonald house of
detroit financially was fantastic and we're just very very blessed to have this in our backyard
folks as you know barrett-jackson we pride ourselves on moments like this that we have some
amazing causes and our amazing cause right now is this amazing 2022 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon
392 and the charity that is going to benefit is the ronald mcdonald house charities of detroit
we've got a really special speaker josh holloman from the morning show host 99.5 wcd detroit an
honorary member of the ronald mcdonald house charities of detroit if anybody knows how to speak
it's this guy tell us about what this thing is all about and why the cause is so special and why
somebody should pay a lot of money for it well it's a lot of pressure thank you for that no
we're super excited to be here julia and i and uh we want to thank zod automotive group and zot i-96
chrysler dodgy brandmandealsmd.com they made this possible this is a beautiful beautiful jeep here
the rubicon 392 is a beast you should be actually you should be um trying to get this anyway but
you know ronald mcdonald house charities they've been doing their thing in detroit since uh 1979
and they help a lot of families out uh with sick children in the hospital and uh they help them out
with housing and basically anything that you can think of that family should be thinking about when
they have children inside the hospital so we want to send a shout out to those guys ronald mcdonald
house charities of detroit and uh bit away 100 of the proceeds as always goes to the charity no
commissions of any kind and let's just make this saying happen joseph all right here we go when
the wrangler replaced the cj in the mid 1980s it was all about downsizing who could have predicted
that the 392 hemi would even exist or that it would wind up in the wrangler well here it is man
this is the 480 horsepower same engine found in a scat pack challenger but in a wrangler how cool
ronald mcdonald houses all over the country i know we've got one in phoenix
it's a great organization and as they were talking about when you have a child who's been diagnosed
with a serious illness suddenly you have to stay next to the hospital that may not be an expense
that is covered by any insurance that you hadn't accounted for and the ability to be able to stay
at a ronald mcdonald house can make such a huge difference to a family whose child is in need
not only is the cause incredible folks but just think about this jeep that's going to be parked
in your garage everything you can imagine worn worn winch off-road camera trailer tow package
trail rail management system 37-inch bf goodrich mud tires exterior is black with clear coat
it has absolutely everything you can imagine but more importantly an incredible cause incredible
vehicle and let's get a little more money because they deserve it and we're short of
what we should be doing now it is a jeep so it's fully off-road capable and that includes the cold
air system there are actually ducts inside of there that will ingest a wave of water
funnel it away so it doesn't get into the engine if you open the hood on this thing you'll see a
bunch of little dams and dikes inside of there so fully engineered for street or off-road use
125 000 every penny of it going to benefit the ronald mcdonald house charities of detroit
awesome ladies and gentlemen once again make some noise for the ronald mcdonald house of charities
out of detroit some good money going to some good folks please
make your way off the auction block i think i'll start by saying not joe again
joe i don't know of anyone else who's bought more barrett jackson charity cars than you my friend
i've seen you up here a few times already why do you keep doing it joe you're such a generous
person because i've been very fortunate in my life and you know i like giving back
well your commitment and your generosity is unbelievable tell me about you josh and julia
as well how does this help the local detroit community and the folks at ronald mcdonald house
you know what they uh so the charity started up in 1979 and they've been helping families ever since
then whenever there's a sick child in the hospital in detroit uh they put them up they house them
they feed them they do everything imaginable because family shouldn't be they should be
thinking about that they should be thinking about their kid eating healthy and nothing else right
and so uh the money that we help raise for ronald mcdonald house charities in detroit
goes to those families they usually help about 1 000 families a year if you can
believe that or not so it's incredible we just want to say thank you so much yeah
