SAVANNAH, GA. — JCB has launched an exclusive online auction starting November 10 for a custom-painted 3TS-8T Teleskid, designed in collaboration with Monster Jam painter Jim McShea. The machine features artwork inspired by a World War II fighter jet flown by Joe Walsh's father, connecting the project to the musician's legacy and his nonprofit, VetsAid. The auction offers bidders not only the unique equipment but also exclusive experiences, with proceeds benefiting veterans and their families through VetsAid, a nonprofit founded by Walsh.
