Fusicks sent me this. Pretty cool to own I must admit. This is over in April 2021. How much money do you think will be raked in? Whats up with the wheels?

That vehicle is way too special for me to own. I like to drive my cars and that is definitely not one to take to work and the grocery store.

 

The provenance is cool, but Cragars? It makes me wonder what it looks like under the hood. 'Course it is for a donation, so...

 

That car was acquired by Harwood Motors. Matt Harwood is a restorer and seller of collectable vehicles and is a member of the AACA and it's forum. He contacted me with questions about this car when he got it. It's real, though the original engine is long gone. He had the original wheels as well as the Cragars that are on it. I know he tried to sell it for a while before the whole virus thing hit, but apparently it didn't sell before the economy tanked. How it got from his showroom to a raffle is not known to me, but I'm guessing his business needs to move inventory and this is one way to do that.

 

Interesting, ad says numbers matching 455? I guess "a numbers matching" is different from the original engine? Care to divulge asking price? I would guess $125-150,000?

 

The engine block has a serif F, so obviously not a 1969 block. It does have the D heads. This post on AACA has much more info. I don't know the sale price, but apparently the Dream Car raffle organization bought it. Asking price was $79,900, which I thought was very fair.

 

Yeah, me, too. I drive my cars and they damned sure want to be driven. If I won something like that, I would likely contribute it for auction to benefit another cause...

 

I got the email. Sweet Ride! But I hate Cragars, LOL (back in HS everybody had 'em - can you say pedestrian?) Thanks for the link to additional info, Joe. In spite of the Cragars and non-matching block, I could probably spare $25 or $50 for tickets. I do believe my Better Half would be OK with a Man Cave garage to keep it in, if I were to win it.

 

I was considering donating...until I saw that MADD was involved. I'm not going to support those idiots. Even the woman who started the organization left because they'd gone completely nuts. The world doesn't need more busybodies, nannies, and hand-wringers.

 

 

 

I wonder how much of this benefits the charity and how much is actually going into someone's pocket. I find it interesting that Fusick sent a number of email blasts out but there's no link to it on their website.

The story hit Yahoo but it seems more like an advertisement than a story

https://www.yahoo.com/autos/enter-wi...133000938.html

 

same here but if i got the car in a raffle and didnt spend my money on it, iwould drive often.

 

I went ahead and bought tickets back in June, at that time they had sold 85,562 tickets to date. They have valued the car at $147,000...a bit ambitious if you ask me. I think the $79,900 price Joe mentioned is more realistic.

 

I’m always highly suspicious of these giveaways. Not because they don’t actually give away the prize, I think they generally do...but because it is under the guise of charity....

Omaze is a similar entity and is a for profit company that sends pennies on the dollar to the charity supposedly supported by the giveaway. Look closely at the wording here and it says a 501c licensed the Dream Giveaway brand. A quick search did not find easy access to how much money actually benefits the charity. Those two signs make me highly suspicious at where the money ends up. Since the chances of winning are slim to none, one has to be ok with where the money ends up...

 

MADD is involved. Chances of this being some sort of scam, misrepresented, twisted, deceitful, etc. are VERY high. That's what MADD does. It's pretty much all they do.

 

I think I would have to re-paint the gold stripe. Other than that I like the car.

 

This is clearly one of those things that are out there to profit a lot more than a charity.
