The first 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has been auctioned for $3.6 million at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event to raise money for Operation Homefront.
The Corvette was donated by GM to raise money for Operation Homefront, an organization that provides support to military families, and was bought by NASCAR team owner and car dealer Rick Hendrick.
The winning bid was the highest for a Barrett-Jackson charity car and surpassed the $3 million paid for the first of the mid-engined 2020 Corvette Stingray, which is also in Hendrick's collection along with several past GM charity cars.
It was also the second-highest price ever paid at an auction for a Corvette, behind only a rare 1967 L88 that was offered by Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale in 2014 for $3,850,000.
