There's a solid history of automakers auctioning cars for charity. The final Dodge Demon and Viper were sold as a package deal, netting a neat $1 million for charity. Honda auctioned off the first Civic Type R for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Before that, Acura auctioned the first NSX off to benefit two children's charities. In terms of upcoming auctions, Supra VIN 001 will go to auction on Jan. 19 to benefit two separate charities.

The Shelby GT500 is one wild sports coupe. It sports a variant of the 5.2-liter V8 found in the GT350, but it ditches the flat-plane crank and adds a supercharger to boost output north of 700 horsepower. A dual-clutch transmission is the only gearbox available, and it packs a number of fun additional bits like magnetorheological suspension and a package that covers the darn thing in carbon fiber. It'll probably fetch a pretty penny at Barrett-Jackson.
