    I ran across this benefit for cancer on Facebook and have been emailing with its coordinator about buying some tickets online. It is in Muskegon, Michigan and is somewhat of a local deal, but Ty Mierendorf has agreed to sell tickets through his Paypal account. His email is listed on the flyers in this link, but you can also PM me for it if you are interested.

    Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. Be ceratin to include contact information with your payment.

    I am not connected with this in any way, but it looks like a sweet little car and certainly a good cause. The drawing for the car will be Labor Day weekend.

    302, C-4 floor shift, new headliner, re-chromed bumpers, PPG paint.

    Cool, I'll have to buy a few tickets. Wouldn't be TOO hard to turn it into a Maverick. :)

    I was checking out the pictures on their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/141052079239106/photos/

    They did a lot of work!! A very nice car. I also see a picture of Ray Parrish's [old] car in there, too. They must have used it for the "Grabber Blue" colour inspiration.

    I just bought 5 tickets... ya never know...:cool:

    I hope this car finds a good, appreciative home.
