NPCC set to unveil raffle car at local car show

North Platte Community College is set to unveil their 2025 raffle car, a 1972 GMC C10, on Friday at the Buffalo Bill Kiwanis Antique Car Show at Memorial Park in North Platte.

Tickets will be sold everywhere the vehicle is displayed, at all Mid-Plains Community College campuses, various area businesses or can be purchased online via a debit card through the mpcc.edu website.

About the car

The GMC C10 is the 20th raffle vehicle produced by the college’s Transportation Division. It was restored by students in NPCC’s Automotive Technology and Auto Body Technology programs.

The vehicle features a 6.0L engine, 4L80 transmission, rosso red poly paint scheme with a metallic black top, custom box and vintage air.

Upcoming appearances

The C10 will tour the state throughout the summer, making appearances at car shows, parades, cruise night events and the Nebraska State Fair. A schedule will be posted at mpcc.edu/academics/programs/classic-car-raffle.php.

A total of 10,000 raffle tickets will be offered at a cost of $10 each. Proceeds will be used for scholarships for students in the college’s transportation programs and to help offset the cost of producing the next raffle car project.

A number of businesses, organizations and individuals have offered to sell tickets. In North Platte, those include: Don’s Motor Company, Cohagen Battery Store, Levander’s Body Shop, Grandma’s Memories Antiques and Collectibles, Isabelle’s Auction House, A.J. Janas, Pat Smith, Jody’s Auto Sales and LKQ Corporation.

The Yellow Rose Lounge and Herrick Auto and Marine, in Curtis; Top Notch Auto and Towing and Moe’s Graphics, in Gothenburg; Kent Silvester, in Imperial and Neil Noel, in Beaver City will also have tickets.

The drawing for the C10 will be 2 p.m. Sept. 6 during the annual Colonel Cody’s Cruise Show and Shine in Memorial Park.
