First Production Corvette ZR1 Sells for $1 Million

The first Corvette Z1 owner Dave Ressler, the man who owns the world’s oldest surviving Corvette, 1953’s #003, is the proud new owner of ZR1 #001. But do you know how much he paid for it? $1 Million dollars at Barrett-Jackson Auction. At first thought, why would you pay a million for a car you could have waited for and paid around $100,000. It really doesn't matter because all the proceeds of the auction went to charity the United Way. The paint alone costs $60,000 a gallon, it has the same brakes at the Enzo Ferrari it goes on and one. "This car will go down as the greatest Corvette in history" (Jay Leno Quote") Chevrolet defininity went all out.
