Raybestos Next Giveaway Project Underway

Raybestos unveiled plans for its 2014 giveaway project – a Raybestos-edition 1971 Camaro RS. The vehicle giveaway follows the company’s recent 2013 promotion in which it gave away a Rattlesnake off-road Toyota Tundra. Print

“The Raybestos Camaro will be given away to one lucky professional mechanic or do-it-yourself Raybestos customer as part of a North American summer sales promotion that runs June 1 – Sept. 15, and the build process will be chronicled on national television, in social media, and in exclusive content on our RaybestosGarage.com microsite,” said Bruce Tartaglione, senior vice president of global marketing and sales for Brake Parts Inc., manufacturer of Raybestos brand brakes.

Jeff Schwartz, chassis and muscle car builder, is directing construction of the Raybestos project from his store, Schwartz Performance in Woodstock, Ill.

“We’ve paid close attention to the recent Raybestos project builds,” Schwartz said. “We’re excited that the folks at Raybestos selected us to build their next giveaway car, and we’ll have fun showing the world what this Raybestos-equipped Schwartz G-Machine will be capable of.”

The Raybestos Camaro RS will feature a 650+ horsepower Schwartz-modified, GM LS3 V8 engine with SLP supercharger, mated to a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, and severe-duty Moser 9-inch rear axle. Additionally the car will feature a Raybestos disc brake upgrade package.
