I guess the name says it all, but a one of a kind prototype fetched 3,000,000 at the Barrett-Jackson tonight. I'll look for pics.

good job, beat me to it. The cars sold immediately after this car went for $550,000. They were a matching pair of Corvettes. One a 1953 the other a 2003 both with matching colors and VIN#'s.

This amount also knocks a 1932 Hispanso Suiza J12 Binder off the record amount brought for a car at Barrett-Jackson at $2,000,000.

If anyone here has SPEED Channel, watch this now, you won't regret it.

Yes you do, this car was meant to be a cousin for the Vette but at the time the Vette was struggling in the sales category and they couldn't justify building another sports car if their current one was a flop. But as we can see, the Vette hung on.

Yes, I'm anxious to see this one and the other Viper powered car built by the builder of last years Lincoln Zephyr.

You mean the "what the hey" Delahaye looking car that Boyd Coddington built. Such a beutiful car, I cant understand why anyone would ever sell it.

[MrVette83]

well, there's the "What The Hey" but I'm thinking there's another Viper V-10 powered car. OH Here it is

Does anybody know if this corvette was finally sold at the Barrett Jackson?

[johnnynumfiv]

Yes, it sold last night. It was quite low, perhaps around $80,000 i think.

[MrVette83]

It sold for 73440 after an 8% commision.
