2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 gets $3.6 million at Barrett-Jackson auction:
When we learned that Chevrolet would auction the first retail 2023 Corvette Z06 for charity at this month's Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, we figured there'd be another Corvette record in the making. The last charity Corvette the auction house sold was the first 2020 C8 Corvette, which NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick bought for $3 million. With his winning bid, Hendrick set the benchmark hammer price for a Barrett-Jackson charity car, eclipsing the $2.
The NASCAR team owner, Chevrolet dealer franchisee and GM Defense contractor didn't just buy a Z06 VIN 0001, he bought one of the recently announced 70th Anniversary cars. The special edition starts with two new exterior colors unique to the 70th AE, White Pearl Tri-coat and Carbon Flash Metallic, available with optional accent stripes in Satin Gray for the White Pearl, Satin Black for the Carbon Flash.
U.S.A! The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 VIN 001 70th Anniversary Edition just brought the gavel down for military families. 100% of the $3.6 million hammer price will benefit Operation Home Front. Thank you, @chevrolet!#BarrettJackson #CollectorCar #Scottsdale #SD2022 pic.twitter.com/9eX5xOzA7REvery cent of Hendrick's largesse is being donated to Operation Homefront, Barrett-Jackson forgoing its usual fees, and an unnamed benefactor donating another $100,000 to make $3.7 million in total.
About the only auction-based Corvette record left to beat is the most expensive sale in the model's history, a 1967 L88 Coupe with a hammer price of $3.85 million at Barrett-Jackson's 2014 Scottsdale auction. Until that sale happens, congratulations to everyone involved in this one.
