Will you help me sell it if I win Matt? ;)

No way I want to own that car more than a few weeks!

Too funny, I have similar thoughts.

The Ferrari owner get's $50,000 ($8k over appraisal) and the school gets $25,000 for putting on a raffle.

Because it's illegal because it is considered gambling. I remember it was a popular format in the 1980's. Too many scams resulted, unfortunately.

I would LOVE to drive that car for a couple of weeks and then re-sell it. That's one of my favorite TV shows from when I was a kid. Love that car!

If I read correctly, the car was donated, so all the money goes to the school- nice!

You are correct, the car was donated to the school by the estate.....

The school is raffling off the 308 to fund a scholarship fund. It will go a long way to providing financial aid for deserving young ladies for years to come.

That's exactly what I would......will do. Only problem, it looks like the raffle will happen in November. It's gonna' be a long cold Winter waiting to get the car out in the Spring.

I wonder if they noticed a surge in ticket sales.

You can leave it in AZ... Drive it for a few weeks in great weather and then haul it to BJ for many many $$$$

I didn't see what number I was or how many tickets were left. Did I miss something?

skipdup 08-15-2014 03:01 PM

I got one. :)

You should have gotten an email with a link to view the tickets. I don't think there is a way to see how many are left.

The School's Fund Raising Administrator has acknowledged an increase in ticket sales.
Thank you to all have participated so far...... many left to sell.

FerrariChat is helping, too!

aigel 08-15-2014 10:32 PM

I'm in! That would put a smile on my face. :) It actually already did.

I thought Magnum's (Mr. Masters!) wasn't a QV?

I am sure I can find a clear day to fly down and pick it up in November! :D

Anyone gather the mileage on the car? That would determine if I drive or trailer it! LOL

Edit: I should learn how to read. Miles and price are almost the same number ... that looks like I am driving it back!!!

100 miles on it?
