More than half the tickets are sold I am told: Tickets are $100 and only 100 will be sold. The raffle won’t take place until they are sold.
“WIN THIS JEEP! 1952 Military Willys Jeep M38A1 – Surplus military unit acquired by the Fryeburg Fire Department upon military retirement. All original, 24 volt system, blackout lights, and new batteries with all maintenance required to maintain readiness. Steel top is bolted on and is easily removable to return this Jeep to its original configuration. Gas can and spare tire mounts currently attached to the top will bolt back onto the tailgate as designed. Always stored indoors and climate controlled. This is a little-used time capsule that could easily be restored or enjoyed in it’s current condition. Includes original military records but no title as Maine won’t issue a title to any vehicle older than 1995.
We are raffling this Jeep off to the winning ticket holder. Tickets are $100 each and are limited to only 100 tickets. That’s a 1 in 100 chance if you buy one ticket or a 50 times better chance than getting a hole in one golfing. Buy more tickets and your odds increase! The drawing will be held as soon as all 100 tickets are sold. All proceeds will go towards the purchase of a new ATV Wildlands Firefighting unit. We’re replacing the old with the new and you have the opportunity to benefit while helping out a worthy cause. Tickets are available from the Fire Chief most weekdays at our Main St. fire station or from various members of our Fire Department.”

I live near this fire station and have seen this M38A1 up close. It’s an EXCELLENT original truck. It has a new, incorrect carb and a roll bar installed, otherwise all original. They even used the original spare tire carrier to mount the spare inside. You could repaint this OD and put new canvas and have a very respectable M38A1 !
Troy, would you be willing to purchase a raffle ticket for someone who isn’t nearby?
no problem but I think you can email or call them and do it directly
This has been flagged for removal. What malicious person would be so exact that they would stop a fundraiser for a local fire department? A raffle is the same as trying to sell it.
Troy, can you contact Dave and let him post the contact information for the fire department. I’d buy a ticket if they haven’t sold out. I traded off my M-38A-1 and I wish I still had it. I wouldn’t mind shipping it across the country if I won the raffle.

Troy … definitely. I’ll help anyway I can.
