Operation Mend Camaro
SLP is proud to announce our recent partnership with West Coast Customs as the Official Performance
Supplier for Late Model GM, Ford and Dodge Vehicles and the following is our first build together
which was auctioned for an exceptional cause.
General Motors donated a 2011 Camaro Convertible for an amazing one-of-a-kind build by customizing
giant West Coast Customs. Ryan Friedlinghaus and his team have brought this inspirational rendering
to reality while finishing the car in full camouflage livery representing all divisions of the U.S.
military and the custom painted hood that reflects its association and support of "Operation Mend."
UCLA Operation Mend was established to provide specialized medical care to U.S. Military personnel
severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan providing them with plastic and reconstructive surgery,
mental health support and other specialty care through a unique partnership between UCLA Health
System and Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. Operation Mend is funded completely
by philanthropic donations from Americans across the country and was founded by Ron Katz, a well-known
inventor and philanthropist, who serves on the Board of the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
The new owner will have the opportunity to drive the Camaro as the lead Grand Marshal Car at the
Veteran's Day Parade in New York City, Nov. 11, 2011, with Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Governor Andrew
Cuomo in front of 50,000 veterans. The Camaro will also seat returning war heroes who are currently
undergoing surgeries at UCLA through Operation Mend to repair faces damaged by IED explosions in
Afghanistan and Iraq.
All proceeds from the sale of this custom Camaro which sold for $333,000 will be donated to benefit
this exceptionally worthy cause.
