Not Necessarily. Every $ over the list price is a tax-deductible charitable donation

The same buyer also purchased a 1971 Corvette ZR2 for almost a million.

$100,000 is seriously pushing it.

Yeah I suppose you are right. My point was a bad one that tried to show that a Corvette could go for a million.

I wonder if any other Corvettes out there could go for a million.

Maybe a ZL1, or the first surviving example or something else I am missing.

A Million is pretty outlandish especially if there is no warranty as I get the impression from the description. But if it goes for a good cause whose to say he is wrong?

I believe the 3rd one made went for 1 million. I forgot what the LT-2 corvette went for.

I thought that the LT2 Corvette was lost.

That car is absolutely amazing! Do you have any more information about it?

There's nothing wrong with Corvettes going for a million. Provided it's the right one.
