Protouring Raffle Poll

**Bill Howell** · 08-25-2005

Ok guys, there has been alot of discussion about a protouring build and raffle here. This is only in the talking stages right now, however imput is needed from everyone. I am attaching a poll here. It is simply this, would you buy a $100 ticket, or would you buy a $50 ticket. Those are the only two options. However, please vote only if you would buy a ticket, and if you would buy more than one, just post how many you would.
This is only a survey, not a commitment. We just need to know how many are serious about this and how many would just be spectators.
This will be a blind survey, so no one will know who voted each way, just a total. If you post that you would buy 2, we will simply add one to the count.

Just please vote how you would buy.

If this does come to pass, the car will be bought, work started and updates on the build made before we ever open up the raffle ticket sales.
Thanks,
Bill

You need a both choice Bill. I would buy at least one $100 ticket or two $50 tickets.

what kind of car are we talking here? Camaro? Cuda? Mustang? ETC???

I think that may be a question fellow members have....

**Bill Howell** · 08-25-2005

Mike,
Vote $100 in that case. If the deal went the other way you would simple purchase two tickets.
jy211,
This is simply a survey on who would buy tickets, not about what it would be. I am sure the first year would be a first gen Camaro, hopefully a 69, but before you actually bought a ticket you would know. This is just about ticket price.

**Travis B** · 08-25-2005

Who is building the car????? Do we know that yet?

**jy211** · 08-25-2005

OK. I'd be in to buy a few...I think the $50 would be an easier selling ticket...

If this was open to everyone's customers as well....I think the $50 ticket would be a better bet

**steemin** · 08-25-2005

Is it for a Panther Pink 70 Cuda built by John Smith with an LS1 etc.....
Damn guys..Poor Bill is trying to guage interest.
If we do it I am sure it will be nice..

I am in for a $100 ticket.

I'd be in for $100. I think Darcy would also be in at that price too.

**dropit69** · 08-25-2005

bill same here id prolly buy 2 50 dollars ones too..or 1 100

**ProdigyCustoms** · 08-25-2005

Speaking from experiance, if someone wants 100, they can buy 2 - 50s, the total of tickets and odds for the buyer stays the same. This way a $50 player is not excluded helping to assure all the tickets sell.

If I do it, I would only consider a 69 Camaro the first year. After that, I would like to try something way different, but first one needs to be safe even if it is another Camaro.

**trapin** · 08-25-2005

I'd buy 3 $50 tickets and only 1 $100 ticket.

A '69 Camaro? :bsjerk:

Good God.....can't we do a different car?

How about a Mopar? It doesn't have to be a hard to find or restore Mopar. Duster's and Dart's make KILLER Pro-Touring cars. Or how about a different Chevy like a '69-'70 Chevelle or '65-'66 Malibu.

Hell, even another Mustang would be sweet too.

**usc2001gc** · 08-25-2005

I'd buy at least 2-$100 / 4-5 $50.

**Red73** · 08-25-2005

I've spent $100 on a raffle ticket to win a 2005 Corvette, I'd spend it to win a nice pro-touring car. Don't tell my wife. Rod

**MuscleRodz** · 08-25-2005

OK I voted $100. I would just end up buying fewer tickets.

I agree
Anything but a camaro....

Well the '69 Camaro is a good choice for several reasons..

1. you can still find them for a reasonable price if you try hard enough (as opposed to a 70 Cuda or fastback Stang)

2. there is a HUGE aftermarket and that would be helpful in looking for parts donations from site sponsors and mfg's.. For example, what would DSE donate to a mopar project?

3. like it or not they are the most popular car out there right now and as such would get the most people excited to get one for $100.. who wouldn't want to win a free PT '69 Camaro? If you built some offbeat car a lot of people would not be as interested.

4. sounds like the plan for this is to be a regular thing so it is important that the first one be a HUGE success, that will make future cars (even more offbeat ones) easier to do since the program will have a track record of success. did that make sense?

Now the tricky part would be to get Dynacorn to donate one of thier bodies.. lol.. Im sure that build would generate a lot of magazine interest. But the project would be better off finding a clean roller since it would require less work and would not nickle and dime the coffers to death on all the various little parts. The project would also not have the VIN number issues and other liabilitie concerns.

<-- would buy a $100 ticket

Sorry non-believers, but a 69 Camaro will sell tickets!

Having someones car done presents a TON of problems..

1. what if you want it done differently than the built calls for? After all the Overhauling people have no say in what is done to thier cars.

2. this would preclude maketing an image of the final car.. people would be buying into a promise of a car rather than a tangible car that exists

3. I see much more liability in them doing the winners car then in just giving away a car.. how to complain about a little issue on a free car compared to a little issue on "your pride and joy"

4. what if they don't overhaul the car fast enough for the owners tastes?

5. you can always sell the won car to pay the taxes and to put the cash into your own project

Your sister and I came to the same conclusion..
