The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) announced that Hollis Black of Prescott Valley, Arizona, is the winner of the fully restored 1965 Mustang Convertible in its First Annual Classic Car Sweepstakes.
“I’ve wanted a Mustang convertible since I was a teenager,” said Black. “I’m so happy—I actually get up in the middle of the night just to go sit in the car. It still doesn’t feel real.”
The sweepstakes raised over $100,000 to benefit AACF and its mission to provide emergency support for members of the automotive aftermarket industry and their families during times of unexpected crisis. From financial assistance for medical emergencies or natural disasters, AACF steps in when families need it most.
“This sweepstakes was more than just a giveaway—it was a celebration of the heart and generosity that defines our industry,” said John Kairys, executive director of AACF. “We launched this project during our 65th anniversary year, and we intentionally chose a 1965 Mustang as a tribute to that milestone. It represents both the enduring spirit of the automotive world and our commitment to standing by families in their most difficult times.”
Mustang Made Possible by Primo Classics International & Official Sweepstakes Sponsors
The Mustang was made possible thanks to Primo Classics International, LLC, which secured and safely stored the vehicle throughout the sweepstakes. AACF says that it is incredibly grateful to its official sweepstakes sponsors: Hunter Engineering, Lucas Oil, PowerStop, TechNet, and Yokohama, whose commitment to AACF’s cause helped bring this vision to life.
“This was our first Classic Car Sweepstakes, and we could not be prouder of the outcome,” said Kairys. “From our donors and sponsors to every person who entered—thank you. Your support directly helps the hard-working families who keep our industry running.”
AACF plans to bring the sweepstakes back for a second year, offering another chance to win big while making an even bigger impact.
