Win a 1-of-51 2026 Corvette Z06 Stars and Steel + a 1965 396/425 Sting Ray + $76,000 for Taxes

Two Corvettes, sixty-one years apart

Dream Giveaway's long-running Corvette promotion hands one winner both cars, and the pairing is the story. The modern half is a 2026 Z06 coupe in Stars and Steel Limited Edition trim — Arctic White with American-flag graphics over a Santorini Blue cabin, one of just 51 built this way inside a 250-unit anniversary run spread across the whole 2026 Corvette line. Underneath the graphics it's the full-strength Z06: the 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank LT6 making 670 hp — still the most powerful naturally aspirated V-8 ever offered in a regular-production car — through an 8-speed dual-clutch, wearing the Carbon Aero package, front-lift system with memory, Edge Red calipers, black forged wheels, and a numbered plaque inside.

The classic half is the collector anchor: a 1965 Sting Ray convertible in Ermine White over red with a black top, frame-off restored and carrying the one-year-only 396/425 L78 — the first big-block ever fitted to a Corvette, introduced mid-1965 and swapped for the 427 a year later — backed by a 4-speed and Positraction. It was displayed at the Bloomington Gold 50th Anniversary Corvette Celebration in 2003, which is the kind of line item that matters when mid-year Corvettes trade hands.

Why it matters

Driver-grade 396/425 cars have recently sold in the $75k-$110k range; documented show-level restorations sit well above that, and the one-year engine keeps demand durable. The Z06 side is scarcity math — 51 coupes in this spec, on a platform whose base 3LZ coupe already stickers north of $133k before the $9,995 edition package and carbon aero. Dream Giveaway pegs the whole package — both cars, a Wildfire Exotic Lift for the widebody Z06, and $76,000 in tax cash — at $355,209.75, and the components support it. A winner who'd rather not garage two Corvettes can take a $200,000 cash alternative ($150,000 by check, $50,000 withheld for the IRS).

The fine print worth knowing

This is a charity sweepstakes benefiting New Beginning Children's Homes, a 501(c)(3) (Federal ID# 27-5011514). Donation-based entries start at $3 for a single ticket and scale to $5,000 for 7,200 — but no purchase is necessary, and the free route (one handwritten, self-addressed stamped envelope per entry code, mailed to the sponsor's Largo, FL address) is granted the same bonus multiplier as the best paid offer running at the time. Entries close December 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, with the drawing on or about January 13, 2027. The $76,000 covers federal withholding only — state income tax is the winner's problem. And on the '65, the odometer reading isn't published; with a frame-off show car the restoration paperwork and numbers-matching status matter more than the miles, but they're the right questions to ask.
