This year the folks at Super Chevy magazine and Route 66 Motorsports teamed up with Armed Forces Foundation to a build the American Heroes III project a 1970 Chevelle. Last year vehicle, the American Heroes II a 1969 Camaro was sold at the Florida Barrett-Jackson show for $500,000. The funds raised went to the Armed Forces Foundation to help the families of fallen and disabled US troops and veterans, visit www.projectamericanheroes.net for details on this great charity. This year Boze has given the opportunity to help out, along with other vendors, such as; Baer brakes, Detroit Speed, Edelbrock and other companies. While Bill Jelinek at Route 66 Motorsports started reshaping the Chevelle, we got busy designing a special new wheel for this project.

The Hero wheel. A unique and exclusive design, featuring six spokes – each spoke engraved with a branch of service.  Highlighted with a brushed satin and polished two-toned finish.  Muscle car stance has a 18×8/18×10 combo.

All of us at Team Boze are proud to be involved in the project and grateful for the freedom we enjoy because of the fine US Troops standing guard.
