Classic Car Raffle

On a regular basis, 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 Executive Director.

Congratulations Barry Head of Newcastle, Ontario on winning the Thunder Bay Museum’s 2023 Classic Car Raffle. Enjoy your 1966 Ford Mustang!

2023 Classic Car Raffle

Winner: Barry Head (Newcastle, ON)
Ticket #: 99001518003
Prize: 1966 Ford Mustang, professionally appraised at $46,000.00
Draw Date: August 12, 2023

The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford from March 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobiles known as the pony cars. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of competition.

This original, automatic 1966 Ford Mustang has never been winter driven and is rust-free. The interior is in incredible condition. The exterior features a 90% original vintage burgundy paint. The wheels feature original, custom mag rims with tires in new condition.
