The National Corvette Museum is celebrating its 15th anniversary in style by raffling off a one of a kind Corvette Grand Sport. The Artic White Vette has a unique yet tasteful black hood treatment with Corvette Racing's Jack mascot painted at the center bulge with a red stripe outline. The NCM has also placed its own seal of approval on the Grand Sport by adding its logo to the car's B-pillar. The Corvette Grand Sport being raffled off also has a six speed manual transmission, dual mode exhaust and a ZR1-sourced rear spoiler.
Participation in the raffle is no cheap feat, as tickets cost a cool $150 each. The Corvette Museum is only raffling off 2,009 tickets, though, giving anyone that ponies up for tickets a relatively good shot at winning. Second prize is $10,000 and third prize is a great consolation win at $5,000. The special edition Vette will be raffled off on September 6 during the museum's 15th Anniversary Celebration.

I wouldn't want to be Autoblog right now. You do NOT want to make Jake angry...

It's a little gaudy, but for a one-of-a-kind that's how it should be.
I like it.

Go Hot Wheels!...Ugh, hope the graphics ar removable decals. Also, chrome wheels are cheesy unless you have 60s/70s muscle car, hot rod or a Rolls...

A bit over the top.
I like the black headlights, actually.
The roof and B-pillar hoop should be transparent/blacked out.
The stripe package is a bit flashy.
Different wheels would be a must. Those thin chromies are just too "hot wheels" for a real car. Wheels are easy to change.
But at that point, one could buy a corvette and do it up the way they want... instead of paying a couple grand for someone else's corvette. I don't play the lottery, or gamble otherwise either, though, so I guess I am not really the target for something like this. :D
