A friend of mine told me about a charity that is raising money by raffling off a 2008 Convertible GT500 - black with red stripes. For anyone interested the details can be found here: http://www.centerforenrichedliving.org/The drawing is in April so the winner will be able to enjoy the convertible this summer!
I bought my tickets, its for a very good cause! Good Luck!


I checked with the charity, the car is Black with Red Stripes. Apparently there were very few "official pictures" available to the Charity so they had to use one that didn't match color wise.

I thought the Black with Red stripes was a special package for last year only?

wtf? why not just raffle off a v6 mustang? thats usually what people do.. one of my good friends won a 05 v6 in a highschool prom raffle.. they could save $40k and put it in the charity by getting a 6'er? gt500 is over kill for that purpose and not very smart IMO

Very smart analysis there...the only thing I could think is that the car was donated by someone...its the only way I see them making $$...otherwise they would have to sell lots of ticket to get out of the red.

Doesn't seem like it.

Not sure how they ended up with the GT500, I understand the actual car is waiting at a dealership outside of Chicago, and it is black with red stripes. 
I can tell you this, I bought tickets, and if I win, I will be glad it is not a V6…. Just not sure where I will keep another one, but I can think of worse problems to have, and it is for a good cause!

No "real" pictures.....  No posting of the VIN.....

A full copy of the rules can be obtained by calling (847)948-7001. Must be 18 years of age to enter the raffle. The raffle is void where prohibited by law.
 
Why not just post a full copy of the rules on the website?

Maybe this is totally legit but I'd hate to see someone here put up $100 on a 1:1300 chance and then get burned.

I'll do it when I get my tax return.  Even if I don't win, that's money I can claim on my taxes.

I was at a Mustang show and they also were raffling off a Red GT500 convertible. I asked if the winner could pick their color since I would mine in Grabber Orange ... the guy told me no ... the car is bought ... and the one you are looking at is the one you win ... I didn't buy a ticket.

I hear yah .... actually I think the odds are better on this one ... 1 in 600 minimum .... 1 in 1299 max ... I'll probably buy 1 or 3 ... Too bad they don't have a counter indicating how many are left ...

I would call the number they have on the website, (847)948-7001, they can probably tell you how many tickets they have sold so far or at least if they are on track to sell 600 or more.  I bought 3 so I am hoping they get to at least 600!

Well, it's worth about 30k...  LOL, JK.  Sticker for around 43k I think, but still be sold for 10-20k over sticker, which really does surprise me.

remember last year when they were raffling off Carroll Shelby's GT500? The blus coupe?
Well I just saw it here at Barrett-Jackson! The guy who won it is now selling it and it looks like he didn't even put any miles on it!
I think it goes today!
Well, gottas get back to the action!
