First 2009 ZR1 #0001 sells for $1,000,000 at Barrett Jackson

While the car itself will be/is incredible having vehicle #001, being the only one in lemans blue with signed sketch by Lutz and Nesbitt, the vehicle itself being signed and the trip to the ***'y plant... well worth it!! It will pay for itself and then some in a few short years
 
For 1,000,000 I would rather have an Enzo or a McLaren F1.



Anybody thinking this is a good investment is wrong.

You are right. He should have bought an Enzo, then driven to the closest orphanage and done a wicked burnout out front, then flipped the bird as he drove off. Investing in charity is for chumps...

They sure make it seem like this thing's going to be a landmark in history for the Corvette.

Do you not think it will be? There's a good chance it will be the highest performing Corvette for many years, not unlike the big blocks and LT1's and such before fuel economy and emissions regs strangled the industry.



I certainly think/hope it will not be the end of performance though, as the regs in the 70's were not. It took a long time to recover, but performance came back with a vengeance. The idea of buying a 620hp Chevy, can you imagine that?
 
Big donation to charity + an incredible piece of engineering in return. Plus a huge tax deduction for the very wealthy.



I don't think anyone lost here.
 
glad charity got something out of it.

can't imagine it will increase in price but just my guess.

Wait until the next version of the ZR-1 (700HP) gets formally introduced in ~ 2 years. It might be comparable to the 03-04 Cobra when the GT500 came out. We'll see what happens then.....:secret

i personally know the buyer. dave is a great guy and an avid corvette collector (AND a chevy dealer). he has been building a corvette collection now for a few years and likes unique cars. he also owns #003 (1953 corvette), the first vin sold to the public back in the day as the "benchmark" along with about 40 other corvettes. foreign sports cars don't turn him on. if he wanted one or many, believe me he would have them!:chuckle:
