First 2020 Corvette Out of the Gate up for Grabs for a Charitable Cause

All over the news wires and websites that have anything remotely to do with car updates, the arrival of the 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray has marked a very memorable junction in history. It's the first to sport the mid-engine configuration and is blisteringly fast while still being a complete bargain compared to others near its class mark. Soon, there will be an opportunity to own the very first one rolling off the line, with a VIN ending in 001, but you'll be wanting to come equipped with a heavy cash arsenal.

The complete rights to this car will be sold during a Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale Arizona during the second week of January next year. The proceeds are going to help the Detroit Children's Fund, which aids much-needed educational resources around the Detroit metro area. It won't be too surprising if the price climbs above the $1 million mark, as similar auctions were able to gift $2.55 million and $1.2 million respectively. The well-equipped new Stingray will come with all the coveted options, including the Z51 Performance Pack. The lucky winning bidder will still be able to choose additions above and beyond this, including cabin trim and personal choice of exterior color.

President of Barrett-Jackson Steve Davis claimed last week that “Barrett-Jackson has set the stage for the sale of some of the most iconic VIN 001, prototype and first production vehicles of our time”. Detroit has lately roared back with vigor in many ways, but the educational landscape has seen severe challenges for years while many gifted people have worked hard to yield results. Since quality schools are essential for the success of children, the Detroit Children's Fund invests in supporting, creating, and growing schools that will perform highly every single year.

All of us here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis are so very proud that now after more than 65 years there is a machine in existence that can do what very pricey European exotic models can for literally a fraction of the cost. The base model of the Stingray comes with double-wishbone suspension at the rear and front axles, constructed from forged aluminum. The car can also be equipped with a front-axle lifting system that provides the all-important 2 extra inches of ground clearance when traveling under 25 mph. There will be a lucky bidder somewhere during January at the auction, and we agree that the cause and call to action behind the event are super-stellar reasons to participate!
