FOOSE COUPE SUPERCAR AUCTIONED FOR $330,000 AT BARRETT JACKSON'S PALM BEACH EVENT
Limited-Edition Foose Custom Fetches Highest Price at World Famous Collector Car Auction

Atlanta vintage car dealer and avid car collector Roger Burgess' winning bid of $330,000, including bidder's premium, secured the rights to the first publicly available Foose Coupe supercar Saturday at Barrett Jackson's Palm Beach Event. Bidding was tense and heated, leading the auctioneer - who was wearing a Foose green tie to match the color of the Foose Coupe - to remove his tie and give it to Mr. Burgess after the sale. In a gentlemanly gesture, Mr. Burgess presented the tie to a challenging bidder so he would not walk away completely empty handed.

As part of the incredible experience offered by Unique Performance, Mr. Burgess will join Chip for a design session to customize the interior of the car, choose paint colors and powertrain. Mr. Burgess will stay in luxury accommodations near the Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafter's automotive facility in Orange County, Calif. and drive a Foose Stallion Mustang during his trip.

The Foose Coupe's elite carbon fiber monocoque cabin is mated to a modular steel space frame and planted to the pavement with a suspension by Hotchkis, Koni coil-over shock absorbers and a 6-piston Baer Brake system. The mid-engined coupe is powered by a Mopar Hemi V8 engine capable of an estimated 550 horsepower and 520 pounds of torque. All Foose Coupes will be constructed by Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters, Inc. and available for purchase through Unique Performance.
