Rick Hendrick Just Bought The First 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 For $3.7 Million
He definitely has a type!
NASCAR team owner and car dealership magnate Rick Hendrick just paid a pretty premium to get his hands on the first 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
The build slot for the car was put up for auction by Chevy at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event to raise money for the American Red Cross and it accomplished the mission.
Hendrick won the car with a bid of $3.7 million, which was a bit of deja vu, because he paid the same amount for the first 2023 Corvette Z06 in 2022.

Hendrick also paid $3 million for the first 2020 Corvette Stingray and $1.1 million for the first 2024 Corvette E-Ray, with all of the proceeds earmarked for charity.
The black car that crossed the block at the auction was a pre-production prototype and Hendrick will be able to order his in any color and configuration that he likes.
The Corvette ZR1 has a starting price of $174,995, but can be optioned to just over $200,000. The order books officially open in February.
