AACF Classic Car Sweepstakes Enters Final Weeks

1969 Pontiac Firebird giveaway closes May 25; proceeds benefit industry families in crisis.

The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation's Classic Car Sweepstakes is in its final weeks, with entries closing May 25 and a winner to be drawn June 2.

Proceeds support AACF's mission of providing financial assistance to aftermarket industry families facing natural disasters, medical emergencies, and other hardships. The foundation distributed nearly $200,000 in grants in the first quarter of 2026 alone.

"This sweepstakes is fun, no doubt, but what really matters is who it helps," said John Kairys, AACF executive director. "Every entry represents someone choosing to show up for a family in our industry going through a tough time. Whether you work in the aftermarket or you just want to support someone who does, every entry makes a real difference."

The grand prize is a fully restored 1969 Pontiac Firebird in Champagne Gold Metallic plus $5,000 cash, with a $25,000 cash alternative available. Tire Rack and Yokohama Tire have provided a custom wheel and tire package.

Sponsors include Advance Auto Parts, Hunter Engineering Company, Lucas Oil, Yokohama Tire, PJ's Auto World and SALT Marketing. Flash-prize sponsors include Gold Eagle and National Parts Depot.

Founded in 1959, AACF provides confidential financial assistance to aftermarket industry families through donor, partner and volunteer support.
