The year was 1985 and music legends Bill Graham, Bob Geldof, Larry
Magid and Allen Spivak produced one of the biggest concerts ever,
named "Live Aid." Over 1.4 billion people worldwide watched this
global jukebox on TV. The mission of Live Aid was to get the world
to come together and make people aware of world hunger. General
Motors partnered with MTV and Radio City Music Hall to plan their
own special idea. Their idea was to bring two of America's newest
flagship sports cars, the 1985 Camaro IROC Z, to the concert which
was held at JFK stadium and these vehicles would then be signed by
all the entertainers who performed there. This is one of those
cars. With almost 100 signatures on this car carefully preserved
under a layer of clear-coat paint, this IROC Camaro represents the
amazing effort of so many musicians, actors, celebrities and
uncounted support staff to help in the fight against hunger. Among
the signatures found on this car you will find names such as Chevy
Chase, Don Johnson, Cher, Bette Midler, Jeff Bridges, Eric Clapton,
Ozzy Osbourne, Bo Diddley, Jimmy Page, Tom Petty, Mick Jagger,
Pattie LaBelle, Run DMC, Neil Young, REO Speedwagon, Carlos
Santana, and the list goes on and on. After the concert, the other
IROC Z went to the GM Heritage Collection Center and this IROC Z
went on the GM international auto show schedule. This car was the
one pictured and mentioned in all the press such as The Washington
Post, The Hollywood Reporter, New York Post, People, USA Today, New
York Daily News, Automotive News and New York Newsday. In 1986, it
was raffled off at a concert held in New York City Named "Drive
Aid". All proceeds went to the Live Aid Foundation. More than 30
years later, the car remains 100% original, including its 5.0-liter
V8 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission. This car includes a
plethora of documentation and memorabilia, such as multiple
magazines, a Live Aid concert ticket, T-shirt, a Live Aid button,
framed advertisement, custom display, list of the signatures, and
much more. This car currently has less than 1,000 actual miles and
is a great addition to any car or music lover's collection, and is
a true piece of automotive and music history.
