Congratulations to David Gates of Endicott who won a 1979 Corvette.
Gary's U-Pull It in Kirkwood celebrated its 30th anniversary today.
The recycling center has been in business since 1979.
More than 3 thousand people entered their names, for a chance to win the corvette.
The classic car raffle was narrowed down to 30 people.
Each contestant received a key, and Gates had the lucky one that started the ignition.
"I am absolutely amazed. I've never won anything in my life, so my boys wanted this more than I did," said Gates.
Gary's also collected donations for the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse...as part of the anniversary celebration.
Gary's recycles about 11-thousand cars a year.
