Details
Built at the SEMA Garage, this 1972 Ford Maverick, dubbed 'The U3 Project,' celebrates the camaraderie and sense of accomplishment that results from movie star, director and car enthusiast Sung Kang. He brought together a team of motivated automotive professionals and students to design and customize a Ford Maverick - the ultimate underdog. It was no coincidence that a Maverick was chosen for this project, as Kang’s character “Han” drove that model in the Hollywood blockbuster “Fast Five.” The U3 Project, digital series and build, was a crafted journey to show three automotive-inspired students all about the rewarding and exciting opportunities that lie ahead for them in a life dedicated to the automotive craft. The students had the opportunity to work hand-on-hand with industry professionals to completely transform the Maverick from an underdog to a street-fighting machine. They started by installing a Ford 2.3-liter 14 EcoBoost engine delivered from a 2016 Ford Mustang, followed by a complete powertrain performance upgrade, including a 5-speed manual transmission. At the end, the students learned the key values of overcoming challenges and teamwork, as well as learning from each other - whether the student learns from the master, or vice versa. The U3 Project has toured across the country during 2017, with the end goal of being sold at the Las Vegas Auction. The entire sale price will go to support the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund, for students who wish to make a career in the automotive industry. **100% OF HAMMER PRICE TO BENEFIT THE SEMA MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND ** **WILL BE SOLD AT APPROXIMATELY 3:30 PM ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2017**
