FIRST CHEVY CORVETTE E-RAY SELLS BIG

The Corvette E-Ray has a 655 hp all-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain.

The landmark 1969 Hybrid model was offered at the Barrett-
Jackson Palm Beach auction where it was purchased for
$1.1 million.   

That’s more than 10 times its list price of $104,295, but it wasn’t
just bought for the bragging rights.

The buyer was none other than NASCAR team owner and car
dealer Rick Hendrick (below) who has been the high bidder at
many GM charity auctions.        

       
All the proceeds from the auction were earmarked for the
Donors Choose charity, which helps buy supplies and
project materials for public schools.
