A restored 1963 Buick Wildcat convertible will be raffled and featured at the upcoming East Syracuse Minoa 10th annual Cruise-In/Open House/Car Show.

The event, sponsored by the ESM Automotive Technology Club, will be held from noon to 4 Saturday at ESM High School. All vehicles are welcome at the show--from hotrods to motorcycles.

The drawing for the car will be July 20.

The convertible is the rarest of the three Buick Wildcat body styles. Only about 6,000 were produced. The students restored the Inferno Red car, which has a white top and black interior. It is powered by a 401 cubic inch (6.6 liter) engine with an automatic transmission on the floor, and has bucket seats as well as power steering.

It was donated to the students by Irving Goldman of Manlius.

Raffle tickets are $10 each, 3 for $25 or 15 for $100. They can be purchased at www.esmschools.org/auto.
