Art & Inspiration HAMB AUCTION: Hunnert Car Pile Up Banner Auction

As you may have heard, the 8th Annual Hunnert Car Pileup was shut down 5 hours early this year. That means we lost 5 hours of income that would've gone to charity. We're still able to give away a large chunk, but we were hoping for more. We discussed it with Ryan and we thought we could boost our numbers by auctioning off one of the giant Pileup vinyl banners. The car (a survivor hot rod) belongs to HAMBer Roy's Ride.

The banner is approximately 6' x 6' and designed by me and expertly printed by OldBobSign.

The winning bidder gets the banner, AND will get to choose which charity his/her money goes to!*

The Chrome Czars will cover shipping.



*charity needs to be a 501(c)(3) organization, which most are.

Bid early and bid often. Get some kick *** art for your shop, and help out your favorite charity in the process. Auction goes until noon on Dec 11. Viva La Hamb.

 

Let's start this off right. $250

 

what about a sticky?
i saw rashy's and these are supper nice.

 

This would make an excellent stocking stuffer! For a really big stocking....

 

Q,
Great starting bid..... I'm out, before I'm even in!

 

We can throw in some stickers and a girls' shirt from this year (no men's shirts left)

 

Geesh,Opening bid killed the auction before it even started.

I hope that some one gets this killer banner. I am out.

 

It's not dead yet! $300...

 

I never stood a chance

 

Lets go $350.00

 

375

 

Gotta try $400.00.

 

Whoa! thats awesome!

remember, you get to pick what charity your money goes to.

 

Any chance of a second T shirt printing of the sold out T's?

 

Nope. If you didn't get one at the show, you didn't get one. Sorry.

This is awesome! Getting you guys all involved directly with the charity donations was a great idea.

 

I was thinking the same thing...

 

FYI, since this is going to charity, you can write off your donation at tax time. Help a charity AND help yourself AND get a dang cool piece of garage art! Only 3 exist so it is extremely rare and may be considered "historical" one day.

 

It's looking pretty good for mikeco.

 

Keeping the fingers crossed!

 

damn! i know a girl named charity, but i cant afford the 400 bones!
awesome auction!!!!

 

Looks like we have a winner Mike!

I lost my Mom in 92, my Dad in Nov.07 and my little sister in Dec 08 to cancer. This is a terrible disease & we need to find a cure. So it will go to the American Cancer Soc.

 

Congrats Mike. The money is going to a good cause. Lost my Dad to it in 93.

 

Excellent choice Mike. And I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your family as such.
