Win-A-Shelby raffle winner gets a 624-hp GT350

Tue, 26 Jul 2011

After years of participating in the Win-A-Shelby Raffle, one lucky enthusiast finally drew the golden ticket at the Barrett-Jackson Orange County Auction in Costa Mesa, Calif.

William Munn of Maritez, Calif., was crowned owner of the 2011 GT350 on Sunday.

By buying five tickets at $100 or a single ticket for $25, participants placed their names in the drawing to win the coveted Shelby. Proceeds went to the Carroll Shelby Foundation, which supports children who have life-threatening illnesses.

A longtime Shelby enthusiast, Munn had donated to the foundation for years through each of the Win-A-Shelby raffles. Now that he owns a Shelby, he can finally stop renting out cars such as the Hertz GT-H.

Munn's limited-production GT350 has a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that produces a whopping 624 hp. It can hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. The unique design features solid blue painted stripes that wrap from the front of the hood to the bumper without any lettering.
