PowerNation's Music City Trucks Show's 1974 Beach Cruiser Bronco Restoration Auction to benefit Warriors Heart Foundation on December 3 2021

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To help our military, veterans and first responders rebuild their lives, PowerNation's Music City Trucks show restored a 1974 Beach Cruiser Bronco that will be auctioned on December 3, 2021, to benefit the Warriors Heart Foundation. This classic car is on display this week at SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) at the Las Vegas Convention Center. With Sea Foam as a sponsor, this Ford Bronco restoration will be auctioned both online and offline during the Mecum Auctions on December 3, 2021, at the Kansas City Convention Center.

During a recent Music City Trucks episode (Season 1, Episode 16) that airs on NBC Sports Network nationally and online, featured guests included Former Delta Operator and Warriors Heart Co-Founder Tom Spooner and Professional Angler and Tactical Trainer Jamey Caldwell (1 Minute Out). Spooner and Caldwell served together on many deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq, and provided the big picture impact of how the funds raised will help heal our frontline protectors struggling with addiction, PTSD and co-occurring issues.

With 2,000+ warriors going through the Warriors Heart residential treatment program (separate from the Warriors Heart Foundation) since it opened five years ago in 2016, Spooner explained, "In our post retirement afterlife, I'm very involved and one of the founders of Warriors Heart, which is the inspiration for this whole build."

When asked to explain the foundation, Spooner expanded, "Warriors Heart Foundation, the meat and potatoes of it, is that it subsidizes treatment costs for our veterans, first responders and protectors. Through the foundation, every dollar goes towards a human being. You can get involved by helping other human beings, and that's how the viewers can get involved through the auction."

Jamey Caldwell (1 Minute Out), added, "When this Bronco is sitting on the auction block, whoever wins it and gets it, it will be an unbelievable vehicle to have, but the background behind it, and what really gets me is I've visited Warriors Heart and taken guys fishing there. And to see what happens down there, and to know that all the proceeds from this whole project will go to help numerous guys and get them back on their feet, some of them off the streets, it's amazing. You can't even believe what you guys are doing, and everybody is doing. You can't put a price on it. It is literally going to saves lives."

Host Brandon Burke then emphasized, "Marc (Christ) and I are so proud to be building this truck and have been putting in long hours because we want this truck to represent Warriors Heart." The restoration team took a modern approach to a classic rig. The upgrades include "a new chassis from Throttle Down Kustoms, supercharged Edelbrock Coyote crate engine, transfer case, axles, James Duff suspension, fuel system, sheet metal from Dennis Carpenter, and overhaul the interior with custom parts from TMI."

Following this opening segment about Warriors Heart Foundation, viewers can watch a behind-the-scenes look at how this 1974 Ford Bronco was rebuilt. Jason Abney and Cole McCrary from Sonax USA do the smooth buffing to bring out the paint's shine. And then Mark Campbell (Edelbrock Group) installs a brand new supercharge Coyote crate engine with high-end pistons with the Co-Hosts.

Anyone can bid online and offline through the Mecum Auctions on December 3, 2021.
