The North Platte Community College transportation division recently unveiled their 2026 raffle car, a 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS. The reveal took place during Throttle Fest on NPCC’s south campus.
As the 21st raffle car restored by NPCC students in the automotive technology and auto body technology programs, it features a PPG northern lights and space gray paint scheme, custom hood, Ford 9 inch rear end, tubular front and rear suspension, and a 396 c.i. engine. Power hits 375 horsepower thanks to an engine featuring a roller camshaft. A 700R4 transmission sits behind.
The Buffalo Bill Kiwanis Antique Car Show and Parade in North Platte is the first scheduled stop for the car this Friday. Throughout the summer, a total of 10,000 raffle tickets will be sold at a price of $10 each.
Other upcoming stops for the car include:
– June 20: NEBRASKAland Days Parade in North Platte
– June 27: Cruisin’ the Bricks Car Show in McCook
– July 9: Crazy Days in Broken Bow
– July 10-11: Canteen CruiseFest in North Platte
– July 17: Show & Shine at Buffalo County Fairgrounds in Kearney
A full schedule, that will be updated as dates and times become available, can be found on the MPCC website.
Proceeds from the raffle help provide scholarships for students in the automotive and auto body technology programs, while also helping offset the cost of building the next year’s raffle car.
The winner of the car will be chosen on September 12 at 2 PM during the Colonel Cody’s Cruise Show and Shine at Memorial Park in North Platte.
