That is NUTS!!...Cool car..but way more money then brains. In a year it will be worth probably less then $80K.

i dunno, its a one off factory original. the only one of its kind w/ 0001 serial numbers. the color wont be duplicated. and the package had a lot of extras. it will appreciate in value.... i just cant see paying 1million for a car.

Yes, I didn't know it was SN 0001. That will be worth a bundle, plus the proceeds went to the United Way that could also explain the high price.
Thanks for the heads up....I need to keep up on these things. 
My lowly 01 Z06 is insanely fast, I can't just imagine driving one of those beasts.

This one is kinda funny as he had it for $5500 for a while with no takers till he saw the Ebay sale and decided to raise it to $6k.

The guy on Barret Jackson must have needed a tax right off. He won the auction at $900k. He then raised his own bid to a million.

The worst part of the BJ auctions is that other dumb asses see this and think that their cars are worth 3/4 of what they seen at the auction on TV.They don't seen to see that their car is a rusted out pile of junk.
