Good things happen to those who wait, and after paying $ 3 million to get their hands on the first-ever 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray, Rick Hendrick finally took delivery of his mid-engine sports car this week. Described by the auction house Barrett-Jackson as a black on black 3LT “loaded with all the options available”, the dear Vette now resides at the Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The dealer obviously didn’t want to miss the chance to shoot the car when it arrived in the parking lot, and posted a few videos on Facebook showing the Corvette, which costs about as much as a Koenigsegg Jesko. As a reminder, all proceeds from the sale that took place in January will benefit the Detroit Children’s Fund – a non-profit organization that aims to increase the number of quality schools in Detroit.
You won’t see the C8 with VIN # 001 on the road because Rick Hendrick said The Detroit Press he has never been driving for a few months. Instead, the first Corvette with the engine behind the seats will be proudly displayed at the Hendrick’s Heritage Center at its corporate headquarters in Charlotte, where it will join some 120 other Corvettes, including other examples of early construction.
Not only did Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet receive the first mid-engine Corvette, but the dealer also obtained VIN # 002. The coupe shown above and finished in Silver Blade was also purchased by Rick Hendrick, who also owns the first Acura NSX of the current generation, the first Camaro ZL1 LE 2018, as well as the first Camaro ZL1 of the previous generation among many other vehicles. .
While you can’t get VIN 001 and VIN 002, Chevy allows buyers to customize the VIN for the Corvette for an additional $ 5,000, which this couple did to match their original Corvette built 67 years ago .
