Primer 2009 Corvette ZR1 Vendido por $1 Million

Bueno pues me entere mientras me tomaba un descanzo del primer corvette del 2009 que fue vendido en detroit por la GMC y Barrett-Jackson en una subasta y segun todo o parte del dinero va a ser donado a la United Way...........Aunke esa compania de United Way pa mi ke es solo una robadera de dinero porque aun me acuerdo cuando yo estaba en la escuela, casi nos obligaban a donar dinero pa esa compania, y juntaban miles de dolares asi ke imaginense cuanto dinero juntan nomas en las escuelas de todo Estados Unidos sin contar otras maneras de juntar dinero?



En fin el ganador fue el ya famoso Dave Ressler quien como ya todos sabemos es dueno de un dealer de corvettes en North Dakota y es o era Hijo de Papi osease rikillo. El tipo gano la subasta cuando ofrecio $900,000 dolares, y dicen que para rematar agrego al final $100,000 dolares mas!!!!

Segun dicen este corvette es de collection y muy especial pues es un solo en su clase y hasta la pintura sera unica ya que ningun otro corvvete la tendra. En fin mucha mierda.

Algo ke se me estaba olvidando es mencionar que la pintura usada en este auto cuesta nada mas y nada menos que $60,000 el galon!!!!!!!!!

The hype surrounding the sale of this special car has been building since last Saturday when the all new 2009 Corvette ZR1 made its debut at the GM Style Party in Detroit. But I don't think anybody expected to see what happened on Saturday night with millions of automotive and Corvette fans watching the 37th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction as they saw the first blue devil auctioned off with the proceeds going to the United Way.

Giving a fantastic introduction as only he can was Jay Leno. Jay has a way of connecting with enthusiasts because he is one himself. Jay was joined on the block with GM North America President Troy Clarke while GM Performance Vehicle Line Manager Tom Wallace stood in the background.





The bidding started at $100,000 and quickly climbed to $900,000 with collector Dave Ressler holding the high bid. As the money for the Corvette is going to charity, Dave added an additional $100,000 to make the final bid $1,000,000. Barrett-Jackson waived the buyers commission as this was a charity auction. The Corvette shown on the block is a prototype only. Ressler will get to move to the head of the line and receive the first available retail version Corvette ZR1 later this summer. His Corvette ZR1 will be painted in a one-only LeMans Blue and will feature option code BD1. The Corvette will be delivered to the National Corvette Museum where Ressler will receive the car. In addition to winning the Corvette, Dave will receive a three-day driving experience at the Bondurant School of High Performance where Corvette Racing's Ron Fellows will serve as a special instructor. Jay Leno has also donated tickets to the Tonight Show as well as a tour of his personal collection.
