One hundred percent of hammer price goes to Samaritan’s Purse relief efforts in Maui

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. ‒ September 12, 2023 – Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, will auction a 1932 Chevrolet Woody custom wagon nicknamed “Honolulu Lulu” to support Samaritan’s Purse and their disaster relief efforts in Maui during the inaugural New Orleans Auction, September 28-30 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Donated by American businessman and philanthropist George Shinn and his wife Megan, the vehicle will cross Barrett-Jackson’s auction block in New Orleans on Saturday, September 30 with one hundred percent of the hammer price going directly to the nonprofit Samaritan’s Purse and their relief efforts on the ground in Maui following the devastating August wildfires.

“We’re proud to once again work with George, Megan and Samaritan’s Purse to support those in need,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “We’ve had the privilege of working with them several times over the last two years and have raised more than $2.7 million for victims of tragedies and natural disasters all over the world. Our fellow Americans in Hawaii need our help now more than ever and we look forward to continuing to support the great work being done at the hands of Samaritan’s Purse during our inaugural New Orleans Auction later this month.”

The 1932 Chevrolet Woody custom wagon nicknamed “Honolulu Lulu” is powered by a small-block Chevrolet engine with a Turbo 350 transmission. Its custom wood interior features custom graphics of the car on each rear interior panel and the exterior features a Yellow Pearl finish along with a hidden trailer hitch concealed behind the license place. This hot rod also comes with a matching trailer named “Lil’ Lulu,” with the names depicted by graphics on the rear of each.

Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet the needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease and famine. The sale of this charity car will mark the third time since April 2022 that Megan and George Shinn have donated a vehicle and worked with Barrett-Jackson to provide a platform to raise much-needed funds and awareness for this exceptional organization.

“It is incredible to see our collector car community come together to support those in their time of need,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “This community of enthusiasts and the entire Barrett-Jackson family have a long history of generosity, and it’s an honor to work alongside the Shinns and Samaritan’s Purse once again to auction this charity car to support the people of Maui following this unimaginable tragedy.”

Collector car enthusiasts interested in registering to bid on this charity car supporting relief efforts in Maui, as well as the entire inaugural New Orleans auction docket, may do so here.

Speed Read: A custom Kawasaki ER-6N from the future and more

The latest motorcycle news, customs and classics
The first two bikes on our list this week prove that there’s customization potential in every motorcycle. A custom Kawasaki ER-6N from Indonesia leads the charge, followed by a custom Buell XB12X Ulysses from Italy. Moto Borgotaro teases us with a stunning 1983 Ducati 600 TT2, and Tamarit proves their mastery of Triumph motorcycles with a menacing Triumph Bobber.

Kawasaki ER-6N by Katros Garage A quick scroll through Katros Garage’s social media channels yields impressive results. Andi Akbar, the workshop’s founder and proprietor, and his team have been pumping out all manner of custom bikes for some years. From choppers to café racers and everything in between, the Indonesian outfit is one of Southeast Asia’s best.

For this custom Kawasaki ER-6N project, Katros Garage teamed up with Ziko, a fellow Indonesian and professional drift racer. Ziko is partial to a nice motorcycle, but this is his first custom bike, so he wanted it to be as easy to ride as possible. With the brief calling for upright ergonomics, chunky rubber, and futuristic style, the group decided on a street tracker build.

Master Stroke: Purpose Built Moto’s svelte Yamaha XS650 chopper

Yamaha XS650 chopper by Purpose Built Moto
They say that perfect is the enemy of good. But when it comes to high-end custom motorcycles, shouldn’t perfection be the goal? Having never built a custom motorcycle in this style before, that’s the standard that Purpose Built Moto set for themselves with this Yamaha XS650 chopper.

Delays with parts and other builds meant this project took the Australian workshop more than 18 months to complete. The silver lining was that this extensive time frame meant they could pore over every detail in the pursuit of perfection.

“There are plenty of Yamaha XS650 chopper builds out there,” says the workshop’s founder, Tom Gilroy, “but there are very few that look well laid out and finished right. Generally, kit frames make the bike look too long and punch the steering angle out too much. We wanted a fast-handling, performance chopper.”

Purpose Built Moto started by stripping the bike down, lopping the rear half of the frame off, and setting the headstock in a jig with a rake of 27 degrees. Then the real work began.

Bonhams December Sale 2023

Bonhams certainly knows how to pick ’em, and there’s some exceptional iron hiding in the 2023 December Sale. It’s an online-only auction with lots closing as soon as December 11th, boasting exceptional classics, landmark sportbikes, parts and memorabilia. The apple of our eye has to be Lot 128, a sweetheart of a 1974 Ducati 750 GT, but we’ll let you be the judge.

Bonhams December Sale 2023
1990 Norton 588 cc F1 Amid tough financial times in the 1980s, Norton was clinging to utilitarian rotary-powered roadsters like the Interpol 2, the Classic and the Commander to weather the coming years. There was a surprising amount of potential hidden in the humble 588 cc twin-rotor Wankel, though, and the engine would eventually form the basis of the British F1-winning RCW588. Never one to waste an opportunity, Norton debuted a street-legal version of RCW in 1989 dubbed the F1.
