2013 Corvette: Last of the C6
For a Good Cause: 2013 Corvette C6 VIN 001
Saturday, January 21, 2012: The first 2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6 427
Convertible sold for $600,000 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale Arizona. The lucky bidder was
Ron Pratte. All proceeds going to support AARP's Drive to End Hunger food relief program,
so a tax deduction can be factored into the price. Eddie Vannoy sweetened the deal by
$100,000 so a total of $700,000 went to the very worthwhile charity.

Convertible Collector Edition. Hendrick Motorsports, with driver Jeff Gordon assisting
with the promotional efforts, worked with GM to present the special edition Corvette.
