Designed by legendary hot rod designer and TV star Chip Foose, the
custom 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 has a distinctive Foose look and is a
tribute to auto specialists who use WD-40 Multi-Use Product to get the
job done. The vehicle features custom BASF paint mixed by Chip Foose, a
Street Scene/Foose Design body kit, one-off MHT/Foose wheels and
WD-40-branded Katkzin upholstery, among other upgrades.
WD-40 Company and SEMA Cares partnered with a number of aftermarket auto
and technology companies, which donated parts, equipment and services to
give the WD-40/SEMA Cares Foose Challenger the power, style and
performance it needed. Build partners include: Street Scene Equipment;
Advanced Clutch Technology Inc.; BASF Paint; Cie Games; Hotchkis
Suspension; Katzkin Leather; K&N Filters; Lanzini Body Works; Magnaflow
Exhaust; MHT Wheels; and Pirelli Tires.
After debuting at the SEMA Show, the WD-40/SEMA Cares Foose Challenger
will appear at select West Coast auto-related events and then be
auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction Jan. 15-22 in
Scottsdale, Ariz. Proceeds of the sale of the vehicle will go to
Childhelp®, an organization that provides services to abused and
neglected children, and The Victory Junction Gang® Camp, which provides
life-changing camping experiences to special needs and chronically ill
children. A virtual version of the vehicle will also appear in Nitto
1320 Legends, an online racing game and social network with nearly 2
million members.
