Each year, the Dream Giveaway group has a variety of sweepstakes for all sorts of prizes, including home improvement packages, technology packages and plenty of vehicles. The prizes vary from year to year, but since the company began doing their thing back in 2008, the root of their sweepstakes has been an automobile. Also, there has been at least one Corvette (if not two) awarded in the Dream Giveaway sweepstakes each year, but to honor the 50th anniversary of the Chevrolet Camaro – the 2017 Dream Giveaway is focusing on the historic muscle car.
To be more specific, the 2017 Dream Giveaway offers participants a chance to win a pair of Chevrolet Camaros – including a 1967 Rally Sport restomod and a 2017 Lingenfelter ZL1 – and $35,000 to pay the taxes which come with winning a pair of custom muscle cars worth $135,000.
The Camaro Dream Giveaway Cars
The grand prize of the 2017 Camaro Dream Giveaway includes two Chevrolet Camaros. The first is a 1967 Camaro Rally Sport which has been fully restored and modified – hence the restomod title – while the second is a brand new, 2017 Camaro ZL1 which has been fitted with a high performance package from the folks at Lingenfelter. The estimated value of these two cars is $135,000.
The 1967 Camaro Rally Sport is beautifully restored in black and red with unique gold wheels, but the appearance of this car is the least significant aspect. Under the hood sits a 408 cubic inch big block topped with worked 454 cylinder heads and fitted with a high performance camshaft. More than 400 horsepower is channeled to the rear wheels via a Tremec TKO 5-speed automatic transmission and 4.10 gears – all of which should work together to make this a pretty quick classic muscle car.
More importantly, to make this 1967 Camaro a great driver, it has a modern coilover suspension setup with tubular control arms for the ideal combination of handling and ride quality. Finally, the build added Wilwood brakes to make sure that this ’67 Camaro stops as well as it accelerates and handles.
The customized 1967 Camaro is a great looking car, but the big dog in this prize package is the Lingenfelter-modified 2017 Camaro ZL1. In stock form, the new ZL1 is a beast, with 650 horsepower, but the folks at Lingenfelter tacked on an extra 150 horsepower with a new supercharger, ported and polished factory LT4 cylinder heads and a new camshaft. In addition to the 800 horsepower/800lb-ft of torque output, this new ZL1 has been finished in a unique black and red paint scheme, with Lingenfelter badges inside and out.
How to Participate
Getting involved with the Dream Giveaway is simple. All you have to do is visit their website (click here for a closer look) and purchase a ticket. Buying a single ticket will cost you $3, so for as little as three bucks, you could win $135k in custom Chevy muscle cars and $35,000 in cash. However, the more tickets you buy, the less each ticket costs. For example, if you buy $100 worth of tickets, you get 100 tickets – dropping the cost per ticket to a dollar. If you buy $5,000 worth, you get 6,000 tickets, putting the price at just 83 cents each.
Tickets for the 2017 Camaro Dream Giveaway will be available through September 26, 2017 and on/around October 13th, the winner will be chosen at random.
