Win a 502-Powered 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS Restomod

What you're looking at

A first-gen F-body done the modern way. This is a 1969 Camaro wearing RS trim over a full restomod build: a 502-cubic-inch Chevrolet crate V8 rated at 502 hp, backed by a Tremec TKO five-speed manual — the enthusiast's-choice combo when you want big-block torque and a clutch pedal instead of a converter. Underneath, the factory setup gives way to a QA1 coilover system with QA1 tubular upper and lower control arms, so it should turn as well as it pulls. The details point to a money-no-object build: a Billet Specialties billet belt-drive up front, matching Billet Specialties wheels, a four-core aluminum radiator to keep 500-plus horsepower cool, and a custom interior trimmed in real leather and suede across the seats, door panels, and dash pad.

Why it matters

The 502 big-block is one of GM's great crate motors — torque everywhere, old-school character, and a soundtrack no LS swap replicates. Pair it with a manual and a coilover chassis and you get a '69 Camaro that's genuinely usable on a back road, not just a trailer queen. Show-quality '69 restomods with this recipe trade in a wide band, roughly $60k to $120k depending on builder and finish, which makes the sponsor's ~$79,000 figure reasonable. The usual caveat with a car you didn't build applies: the parts list is spelled out, but the builder, mileage, and tune are not, and it's awarded as-is.

The fine print worth knowing

Paid entries start at $25 for 5 and scale up to $5,000 for 20,000. There's a genuine no-purchase route — hand-print your details on a 3x5 card, add a 20-plus-word statement, and mail it first-class to Punch 4 Parkinson's in Walpole, MA — but the mail-in window closes earlier than online entry, so lean on the official rules before you count on it. The drawing runs July 24, 2026, live-streamed across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, and you don't need to be present to win. It's open to entrants 18-plus in the 48 contiguous states, D.C., and Canada outside Quebec. There's no cash alternative, and the winner covers federal and state taxes plus title and registration. This is a charity raffle — proceeds benefit Parkinson's-related causes — so your entry money isn't only chasing a car.
