High priced Corvette!!

[Steamer]

Don't know if anyone saw this. Rick Hendrick bought the very first prototype C7 Corvette convertible on Friday for One Million dollars. Must be nice to have very deep pockets. Down the road do you think he would be able to recover his money if he ever sells it?

That's a good question Rob.........All I can say; he won't make any money from me.

I can't see any of these new model cars generating the excitement of their first/second generation counterparts. Personally I would not be shocked to hear that Hendrick bought the car with money that was Indirectly given to him by GM through his racing program.

I guess I'm just to conservative ,I wouldn't pay a million bucks for a Ford .

Hell no -- IMHO -- but the fame and bragging rights in the meantime would be priceless ... Pretty sure if you spend that much dough on a car and have such deep pockets, one doesn't consider it an investment as much as "Come see my museum".....

Is some of the dough spent on that car going to charity also, Rob?

.....and didn't he win the bid on serial # 1 of the first Coupe too?

I'm hoping for a replay if it rebroadcasts-- I missed the whole thing...and usually record it. This time I forgot...

all the money is going to a detroit based cancer charity. rick hendrick is quite a philanthropist, due in part to different tragedies that have befallen he and his family.

What a C7 hog!

We should see if he gets the first Z06/L-88/ZR1 or whatever they call the high performance model!

he also bought the 1st C7 Coupe to come off the line for 1MM$'s at BJ's Scottsdale, he will order it the way he wants and yes, I think he will recover his money. Don't forget that these cars are written off for their charitable contribution over and above the actual value of the car, he is a shrewd businessman... cudo's Rick!

His company donates the million to Charity... His company gets a tax write off ..

The car goes in HIS collection for free.... easy peazy
