March 27, 2013
Darrell Gwynn Foundation uses auction to raise money to help with treatment and prevention of spinal cord injuries.

Ford recently donated a 2012 Ford F-650 crew cab and chassis to the Darrell Gwynn Foundation, whose mission includes providing support to people with paralysis and prevent spinal cord injuries. The truck has been transformed into an exciting racing machine.

It now sports a 60" rear stainless racing wing and exhaust system, a chrome train horn, high-end amps and speakers, custom paint, graphics and more. Proceeds from the auction of this vehicle, happening in early April in Florida, will benefit the foundation's Wheelchair Donation Program and Education Fund.

"This is one of the coolest vehicles we've ever brought to Barrett-Jackson," said Darrell Gwynn, president of the Darrell Gwynn Foundation. "This year marks our 10th anniversary selling vehicles at Barrett-Jackson to support our Wheelchair Donation Program. It's very fitting that thanks to Ford and Extreme Super Truck we have such a special vehicle to celebrate 10 years of fundraising with Barrett-Jackson and the incredible impact Barrett-Jackson has made over the years helping us give the gift of mobility to so many in need."

The Ford F-650 truck was donated to the foundation by Ford Motor Company. It was then given a complete customization by Extreme Super Truck in Atlanta, Ga. creating the ultimate charity truck surely to dazzle potential buyers at the world's largest auto auction. This Ford F-650 Extreme Super Truck was donated by Ford Motor Company and customized by Extreme Super Truck of Atlanta, Ga.

The truck also includes a Rolltisserie by Southern Pride cooker.
