Some of the most important vehicles in history are usually auctioned at the prestigious Barrett-Jackson auction. Changing hands on a weekly basis are cars and trucks that can set back a new owner hundreds of thousands of dollars and create history in the process.
There are purchased and sold cars and trucks that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and create history in the process.
Recently was auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson the first public offering of Chevrolet’s latest and fastest production Camaro, the 2012 ZL1. This is a Carbon Flash Metallic model, built by the Oshawa, Canada factory, and it was the 69th of its series. 580 horsepower and 558 lb-ft of torque is available from its 6.2 liter supercharged LSA V8. Power adjustable magnetic dampers also make sure that all of that thrust stays in relative order. The final bid for this car was $250,000, and it was purchased by Rick Hendrick, the owner of Hendrick Motorsports and Hendrick Automotive Group.
The car was supplied to Barrett-Jackson by Fairway Chevrolet-Buick-GMC in Las Vegas and 100 percent of the proceeds went to the YMCA of Southern Nevada.
Offering the 69th Camaro ZL1 at auction was a fitting tribute to the 1969 model, and a great way to benefit such a worthy cause as the YMCA.”
