We didn’t screw up on the dollar amount in the title. This is a 1985 IROC Z28 sporting a TPI 305, an automatic transmission, 747 miles, and the signatures of nearly 100 actors, musicians, and celebrities who were at Live Aid in 1985. This is the motherload of autograph collections, and one hell of a clean Camaro.
Live Aid was a global event held back in July of 1985. In the extensive listing for this Camaro, the seller claims that 1.4 billion people saw the various concerts that went on around the world to raise awareness about hunger. It was an amazing event made even more astounding when you think about the fact that it happened well before social networking, the internet, etc.
Back to the Camaro. GM was a major backer of Live Aid and decided to have a contest to give away a Camaro that was to be autographed by all the famous folks involved with the show. GM would take the car and show it, they called it the Drive-Aid signature car. It was given away to a lucky contest winner in 1986 at the second Live Aid. A few months ago that owner contacted a business that deals in specialty cars, and here we are.
There were actually two identical cars, both signed. GM sold one a few years ago at auction and it is now hidden away in a private collection. This is the car used in all the promotional materials.
This is the first time the car is up for public sale. It really is a cool and awesome story. All you need to do is scrape up $199,900 and it could be yours today!
