a guy in New Mexico came up with a car guy way to raise money for his charity... he restores donated muscle cars and raffles them off to raise about $140,000 per car! This '69 Firebird was a one owner with 79k miles

Last year, he restored a donated black 1972 Chevelle, the raffle for which raised $140,000
