Last Chance to Make Your Bid

We opened an exciting auction last week featuring the “first” 2006 VIN #00001 Corvette Coupe. We have received numerous inquiries and invite any interested collectors to make their bid before the auction closes on Friday, August 17 at 3:00 p.m.

This special Corvette was the first to be finished in the Monterey Red color and was the first Corvette to have the six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifter – first available on the 2006 model year Corvettes. Used by General Motors for various media events and press coverage, our Corvette for auction has only 138 miles and has the remaining 3 year-36,000 mile warranty. This is a one-of-a-kind treasure for any Corvette collector! Make your bids online at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110157287656
