1972 Corvette for $25? Notre Dame High School makes it possible

Collector car Corvettes is a big business, and owning a shiny red 1972 Corvette Coupe is usually just a dream. However, thanks to Notre Dame High School in Elmira, N.Y., owning a desirable collector Corvette has become a reality. Specifically, again this year, Notre Dame is raffling off a 1972 Corvette Coupe with a ticket price of $25 or six chances for $100.

The raffle has turned into one of the school’s top fund raising events, as each year a Corvette to be raffled off is displayed at the Arnot Mall, as it is this year. Equipped with an original 350 cubic inch V8 coupled to a four-speed transmission, the school expects lots of activity trying to win a real collector Corvette.

The ’72 Corvette has power windows, power steering, air conditioning, black interior and new interior door panels. The rust free frame is complemented with like new tires, original air cleaner, distributor, shifter and steering wheel. The engine also has a set of headers, which both improves performance and increases fuel mileage. The car starts, runs, shifts and drives well.

Interested enthusiasts can send a check or money order for $25 for one ticket or six for $100 to: Notre Dame High School, Classic Car Raffle, 1400 Maple Ave., Elmira, N.Y. 14904 or see www.nortedamehighschool.com for credit card entry on the school’s Corvette Raffle form (that can be printed).

The Notre Dame Corvette drawing will be held Thursday, Jan. 8, at the Arnot Mall and the winner need not be present to win. The winner is responsible for all taxes and delivery fees, the latter if necessary.  Due to postal regulations, ticket stubs cannot be returned and your bank or credit card statement is your receipt. However, all ticket numbers can be confirmed by calling (607) 734-2267.

If the winner would rather $10,000 cash, the choice will be theirs.
