In Benefit of STARS

1969 Dodge Dart donated in Saskatchewan man’s memory

This isn’t just a collector car — it’s a story of legacy, love, and one incredible man’s final wish.

Ed Haraldson was the kind of guy who didn’t just dream — he chased those dreams.

Last September, he found the car he’d been searching for: a stunning 1969 Dodge Dart, purchased through Rod’s HotRods. Sadly, Ed passed away after a courageous 15 month battle with cancer. Even in his final chapter, he was thinking of how to help others — making this remarkable donation part of his lasting legacy.

He asked that his Dart be auctioned off, with 100 per cent of the proceeds donated to a charity of his choice — STARS Air Ambulance. A selfless final gesture from a man who wanted this car to keep helping others long after he was gone.

To honour Ed’s legacy, EG Auctions is waiving all seller and bidder fees. Every dollar from the winning bid will go directly to STARS.
