<div>We have covered many different contests that give away all sorts of cool performance vehicles. Most of these contests offer one-off, rare, highly desirable collector cars in a raffle format. Plenty of Mustangs, Corvettes, and Camaros have been given away by many types of car folk, usually towards a good cause. Apparently, Sacred Heart Church has given away many types of Mustangs before, but their raffle this year is for a very rare P-51B Mustang by Roush. <br />
<br />
The church even has its own website set up for the contest, at <a href="http://www.winastang.com/" target="_blank">WINASTANG.com</a> <br />

There isn’t much info available about the Sacred Heart Parish, except that it “is a community of Catholic Christians with a mission of making Christ's presence a reality for the good of the world, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to the greater honor and glory of God." How raffling off a rare Mustang falls in line with that mission, I’m not sure. But for just $10 a ticket, it is hard to come up with good reason not to enter this raffle.<br />
<br />
The Mustang in question is number 44 of just 51 2009 P-51B Mustangs to be made. With 510 horsepower from the <a href="http://www.roushperformance.com/mustang_p51b.shtml" target="_blank">Roushcharger</a> forced induction, this Mustang runs with the plane theme inside and outside of the cockpit. It is a little known fact that the original Mustang derived its name from the World War II-era fighter plane, but the animal theme was seen as a better marketing gimmick. This gimmick by Sacred Heart would have to sell 4000 tickets just to break even, but they have a history of raffling off rare Mustangs. Last year they gave away a Blackjack Convertible, and before that they raffled off a California roadster, both cars also from Roush. I wonder if the eminent car maker has an in with the big guy upstairs?</div>
