In other words:
Rick Hendrick will be buying the 1st production 2017 Camaro VIN 0001, a 50th Ann convertible, at Barrett-Jackson... |

...And in other words, United Way of Southeastern Michigan will get the maximum charitable donation from Rick Hendrick, the most from any possible other bidder...

Winning bidder will win the right to buy the first car. That's why 100% of the hammer price is going to charity, there's no actual monetary value of the prize.

I saw the Americarna special on Velocity with Ray Evernham about the Corvette museum collapse. They spent a lot of time with Rick Hendrick in his own museum.
About the only first VIN production of any Corvette or Camaro he doesn't own is the first 2009 Corvette ZR1 or Blue Devil. And that's only because GM flat out wouldn't let him buy it. His museum of first VIN Corvettes and Camaros is bigger than GM's own Herritage museum. |

Must say I was surprised to see the VIN 0001 '17 Corvette Grand Sport sell at B-J Palm Beach to someone other than Mr. Hendrick.

The heading may as well read:
