However, should someone wish to explore the possibility of donating a car for a future raffle, please contact the Museum’s Executive Director.

2024 Classic Car Raffle

Prize: 1969 Pontiac Firebird, professionally appraised at $46,500.00
Draw Date: 6 September 2024
Winning Ticket Number: 99004395005

The second-generation Pontiac Firebird was manufactured by General Motors. Announcing a Pontiac styling trend, the Firebird’s bumpers were integrated into the design of the front end, giving it a more streamlined look than the Camaro at the time. In 1969, the design of the Firebird was updated to “Trans Am performance”.

This original, automatic 1969 Pontiac Firebird 2-door hardtop sport coupe has had a recent professional restoration to all components and has been reconditioned to a very high show car quality.
