How much would you pay to be the first owner of the all-new Corvette Stingray?
Whatever your price is, it's probably not as much as NASCAR team owner
Rick Hendrick's, who just laid down more than a million bucks for the
car.
Hendrick bid $1.05 million for the first Stingray to come off GM's
production lines — model 0001 — at the Barrett-Jackson car collector
event in Scottsdale, Az., Road & Track reports. The money will be donated to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.
Charitable contributions aside, the price is exorbitant. While Chevrolet hasn't announced the final price of the new Corvette, it has said it'll be close to what current Corvettes cost now, which run about $50,000.
Hendrick has paid a lot of money to be first in line for other Chevy cars, according to the Latinos Post.
His winning $350,000 bid at a Las Vegas auction got him the first 2010
Camaro SS, and he also won the first 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition.

GM unveiled the 2014 Corvette Stingray last week.
Released for the 50th anniversary of the car, the new model is the
seventh generation of the iconic sports car and shares just two parts
with the previous generation. The new Corvette departs from its
predecessors with muscular lines, carbon-fiber parts, redesigned (and
controversially rectangular) tail lights, and a retractable dashboard LCD.
We got a chance to check out
(but not drive) the new Corvette when it paid a visit to New York City,
and although it's a beautiful car, we wouldn't pay a million bucks to
be the first person to drive one.
