Way back in April of this year, we informed you guys about an amazing opportunity for you to win two amazing Camaros. We’re happy to let you know that the folks at Dream Giveaway has teamed up with Original Parts Group to offer another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for one lucky winner. This time, he or she will get to drive away with a concourse-level restored 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS and $10,000 cash to pay the taxes. The proceeds go to charity. Someone will win this car. Why not enter, help a support a good cause, and get yourself in the running for one of the coolest cars ever made.
When we saw the prize on this sweepstakes, we had to find out more. to do just that, we talked to Chris Phillip, the director of marketing on the Dream Giveaway staff, and got some additional input on this car and this specific giveaway. “Dream Giveaway is in its tenth year, and it’s a national sweepstakes that supports seven charities,” Chris explained. “In 2008, we started out with the Corvette giveaway. Now fast forward to 2017, and we are doing our first Chevelle giveaway.”
They’ve given away all sorts of different cars from Corvettes to Camaros, and people have always wanted them to give away a Chevelle. The time is now, and they couldn’t have gotten a better car. “People always ask us when we were going to giveaway a Chevelle,” Chris told us. “We found this one, and we were able to procure it.” The car is in unbelievable condition. “You know when you close a door on a car and you can just tell it’s better than a new car?” Chris asked us. “This is like that.” It has that crisp, solid feel when you close the door that lets you know you are dealing with a real muscelcar, restored to the highest-quality standards.
A few really cool aspects of Dream Giveaway and their prizes are that they are a sweepstakes, not a raffle, so everything is legal in all states, they provide $10,000 cash to cover the taxes, so winning the car doesn’t cost you a bundle in taxes. “As you can imagine with a national sweepstakes, this is bigger than someone putting their hand in a fishbowl,” Chris explained. “Once we have a winner, we call them, make all the arrangements, and fly them to Clearwater, Florida, where we put them up and have an awards ceremony.”
The car has been restored to like new condition, and Jim Campisano, Encyclopedia of Muscle Cars author, looked at this Chevelle and said “This is as close as you can get to going back in time and owning a brand-new 1970 SS396 Chevelle.” It is Tuxedo black with a black interior, which is original to the car. It has a cowl-induction hood, 396 cubic-inch big-block engine, four-speed Muncie transmission, Positraction rearend, power steering and brakes, and a Vintage Air climate control system. “The only add-on to the car is the Vintage Air kit,” Chris told us. “Other than that the car is completely stock.”
