Imagine cruising down Third Avenue in a pristine vintage classic and all you had to do was enter for a chance to win it! The United Way of Door County is teaming up with Auto Artisans Inc. in Sturgeon Bay to raffle off a completely restored 1986 GMC K2500 4WD truck, made of original GM Steel. Proceeds from the raffle will help support the United Way’s goal of helping to improve the lives of individuals throughout Door County.
“This really is a unique opportunity for someone to get a restored vehicle at a relatively low cost,” said United Way Executive Director Amy Kohnle, “we think it’s just great that they picked us because they see our impact in the community.”
Tickets for the raffle can be purchased at the United Way or Auto Artisans, Inc. for $50 each. In addition to the $50 ticket price, the winner will be responsible for the vehicle’s tax, title, and registration. Funds raised through ticket sales for the raffle will support the United Way’s Annual Campaign, which officially kicks off in August.
The star of the show, the 1986 Sierra Classic, has been completely restored and painted in a two-tone metallic Blue Pearl and Midnight Grey. It features a Turbo 400 automatic transmission plus a high performance Holley sniper fuel injection that offers precise fuel-flow regulation, as well as reupholstered seats, and new glass throughout.

The raffle will be held live on Thursday, July 17th at Auto Artisans, Inc. at 120 Green Bay Road in Sturgeon Bay. Kohnle says it will be a festive evening, with a cookout kicking off the event at 5p.m. Food will be available for purchase before the raffle takes place at 6p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the United Way or at Auto Artisans, Inc.
