NPCC raffle car to round out summer tour at state fair

The 2025 North Platte Community College raffle car, a 1972 GMC C10, will spend the remainder of its summer tour at the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island.

The C10 will be on display inside the Pinnacle Bank Expo Center from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 22 through August 31 and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 1. The public will have the opportunity to view and purchase tickets for the car at that time.

New this year, tickets may be purchased online via a debit card through the mpcc.edu website.

About the car

The GMC C10 is the 20th raffle vehicle produced by the college’s Transportation Division. It was restored by students in NPCC’s Automotive Technology and Auto Body Technology programs.

The vehicle features a 6.0L engine, 4L80 transmission, rosso red poly paint scheme with a metallic black top, custom box and vintage air.

Additional information

The C10 toured the state throughout the summer, making appearances at car shows, parades and cruise night events.

A total of 10,000 raffle tickets are for sale at a cost of $10 each. Proceeds will be used for scholarships for students in the college’s transportation programs and to help offset the cost of producing the next raffle car project.

The drawing for the C10 will be at 2 p.m. Sept. 6 at Memorial Park in North Platte, Neb., during the annual Colonel Cody’s Cruise Show and Shine.
