Back in 2009, before illmotion even started, I was blessed with the opportunity to check out one of the most humble car shows I’ve ever been to, the Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS) held in Irvine, California. There were many vintage Japanese cars on hand and it was definitely an amazing experience as I got to meet many amazing people such as Antonio Alvendia of MotorMavens.

Another gentlemen I met during my trip is Benjamin Cesar Fernandez, owner of this super mint AE71 Toyota Corolla custom painted by PJ Bonifacio. Featuring a fully built 4AGE by Race Toys and a fully restored AE71 chassis, Benji’s been featured on countless magazines (Super Street, Retro Cars UK to name a few) and has won many awards at shows we’re all very familiar with such as Slammed Society, Spocom, Toyotafest and of course JCCS. If that isn’t enough, Benji has also tried and tested his AE71 at various track day events in California.

Fast forward to today, and I was informed by my Father of Benji’s unfortunate situation and possible solution that we here at illmotion would like to spread the word about: Benji is in search of a clean Type AB Kidney and is willing to trade his prized AE71 Toyota Corolla for it.

If you guys know anyone who is willing to give their spare Type AB Kidney and gain Benji’s AE71 Toyota Corolla, please send him an email at bcvf5@sbcglobal.net

Currently on dialysis and on a waiting list for a Kidney since 2011, Benji is in real need of this kidney so he can continue on and enjoy life with his wife and his 2 year old son, Wayne.

We also just want to point out that we are unaware of the legalities behind a deal like this, but we would hope someone out there could help Benji in his search, and this post is just to show you how much he’s willing to give just to get this specific Kidney to live his life.

Thank you all for your time,

Benji, you are in our thoughts and prayers and we wish you all the best!!!
