I'm in!! Just bought my ticket!

Watch, it's probably an automatic... not that it would matter all that much! A $100 GT500 is a $100 GT500!!

You can not write this off as a tax deductible.... I was searching there website and found the rules and regulations for this raffle. The link is below.

I am pretty sure GT500's only come in 6spd manual

Lack of tax deductibility is because it is a raffle not an outright gift. This is the case for any charity fundraising raffle. So the IRS says

And you are correct all GT500’s are 6 speed stick shfts.

The making of money assumption is in correct.

There is a church in PA St. Micheals that raffles off a car every year, last year it was a GT 500. They made a boat load of money. But they spend alot of time going to car shows and other events to sell tickets

I have absolutely no doubt it is legit!
I know a guy personally that is very active with this charity.
I was hoping to call them today to see how many had been sold so far but work always seems to get in the way of me getting important things done!

I talked with them yesterday, and while they have only sold around 60 tickets so far, they were not surprised at that number at this point. It sounded like from prior raffles that sales pick up quite a bit as it gets closer. Not sure what they have raffled off in the past. Anyhow, if we keep this posting active, more will see it and hopefully buy and get to the magic 600 number!

The drawing is still three months away, so no doubt they will make it to the 600 minimum.
