The Moose Jaw Shrine Club hasn’t made an official announcement, but the vehicle for their third-annual classic car raffle has arrived in the city. The odds are it’ll be a hot ticket item once sales begin.
The club will be raffling off a bright-yellow 2000 Plymouth Prowler with only 7,100 kilometres on the odometer for their 2021 draw — a vehicle that has had a single owner and looks like it just rolled off the assembly line — in addition to offering a second prize of $2,000 and third price of $1,000
The vehicle is currently on display at the local Murray GM dealership, where it’ll be given a once-over and safetied. And while they’re still dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s on the whole venture, Scott Hughes with the local club expects things will go well given what they have to offer this time around.
“It’s quite the good looking car and we’re expecting tickets will go pretty quick,” Hughes said, adding that an official unveiling will happen at a future meeting of the Shriners and will be followed by an announcement on Facebook with ticket sales information..
Based on what the Shriners have had to offer in their first two years of the raffle — and the success of those draws — you can pretty much ensure they’ll end up with a solid payout once things are all said and done.
Their first raffle saw a 1964 Mustang Players Special up for grabs, and last year featured a supercharged 1986 Corvette straight out of the famous Barrett Jackson classic car auction. Both raffles were wildly successful and brought in around $30,000 to help support the Shriners’ charitable ventures.
While everything is still being finalized, it’s expected around 6,000 tickets will be available at $20 each, with the club will also be looking into adding an online purchase option. Ticket sales could begin shortly. Be sure to keep an eye on the Moose Jaw Shrine Club Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MooseJawShrineClub for the latest updates and information.
