There are 1,500 tickets available, and each costs $200.
The Chevy Corvette is no spring chicken, arriving for the first time in 1953, but the decades that followed allowed the model to carve its own path into the automotive landscape, and history. It’s an American icon with worldwide recognition that’s led to the production of well over 1.5 million Corvettes, and a new raffle could make you the owner of number 1.75 million. There are 1,500 tickets available, and each costs $200.
Sixty-seven years after the Corvette’s debut, the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky will raffle off the 1.75-millionth Corvette, a 2020 model. It’ll match the original, too, with its Arctic White exterior paint and Adrenaline Red interior. The museum will limit the number of raffle tickets available to just 1,500, each costing $200. The museum is home to the one-millionth Corvette, a 1992 model, and the 1.5 millionth Corvette, a 2009 model. Both are white-and-red convertibles.
However, the 1.75 millionth Corvette model will only temporarily call the museum home before it heads to its new owner. The raffle will take place on Friday, September 4, as part of the museum’s 26th-anniversary celebration. The Corvette will feature the Z51 performance package, the 3LT equipment group, silver aluminum wheels, the engine appearance package, and more.
The Z51 package alone adds a ton of upgrades. Output jumps to 495 horsepower (369 kilowatts) from 490 hp (365 kW), thanks to the performance exhaust system. However, the package also adds more aggressive aerodynamic components like a front splitter, diffuser, and more, which helps improve the car’s downforce. Other upgrades include bigger brakes, improved powertrain cooling, and a tweaked suspension setup.
The winner will receive the car through the Corvette Museum Delivery program. This gives the winner, along with three accompanying guests, “a red carpet V.I.P experience.” We’ve seen the museum delivery experience before, where the owner receives a thorough overview of the new car and its numerous features before driving it home, and it looks like quite the experience. You can get your ticket via a secure, barcoded mail order form that’s available online at raffle.corvettemuseum.org.
