Classic Car Raffle

Approximately every two years, the Thunder Bay Museum raffles off a classic car with proceeds going directly towards helping with the operation of the museum. The Thunder Bay Museum has always purchased its raffle cars, and has not acquired any via donation. However, should someone wish to explore the possibility of donating a car for a future raffle, please contact the Museum’s Director.

2019 CLASSIC CAR RAFFLE is now complete.

The winner of the 1970 Dodge Challenger is Mr. Harvey Arola, (British Columbia, formerly of Thunder Bay) Ticket Number 13911

98.5% of tickets were sold. Thank you to all who bought tickets. We appreciate your support for our raffle and for the Museum. Apologies for the lack of a sound system at the draw. I know many of you who were there could not hear results of the draw.

PRIZE: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Tribute

This 1970 Challenger was born with a 383 CID V8 but has been upgraded with a 440 CID V8 with several Mopar performance upgrades and all the R/T trimmings along with a Trans-Am hood. Considerable effort and time was spent on the engine and drivetrain but the interior has also been completely redone and looks like new.

Professionally appraised at $40,000.

Tickets are no longer available. Stay tuned to this site for information about future raffles.
