Hey there, time traveller!

In what has become an annual tradition, Winnipeg’s Khartum Shriners are once again raffling off a collector vehicle to raise funds for the organization’s day-to-day operations and in support of its hospital system.
This year’s raffle car is a stunning Marina Blue 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. The car has been beautifully restored and customized and is ready to drive and enjoy. Under the hood it features a 502 cubic-inch Chevrolet crate motor linked to an automatic transmission. Other highlights include a custom dual exhaust system and a lowered suspension.
“We started raffling off newer cars a few years back, then we had a hot rod one year and it was really popular so we’ve stayed with the older restored vehicles the past couple of years and the response has been great,” says Al Hadley, Winnipeg Khartum Shriners potentate and CEO.
Although the Shriners typically display the car at local car shows and cruise nights, due to the coronavirus pandemic those events have all been cancelled, but Hadley says ticket sales have still been strong. “We have already sold enough tickets to cover the cost of the car,” he said, “and if we sell all the tickets we will be somewhere in the neighbourhood of $90,000 profit, so it’s a very good raffle for us.”
The Malibu, which is on display until the draw at The Chamois Car Wash at 85 Reenders Dr., is valued at more than $50,000.
Only 3,967 tickets were printed and are $40 each. The draw is slated for noon Oct. 23, but if tickets sell out early it will be drawn Aug. 28.
