It is Rick Hendrick. He is a very very wealthy man, probably did it for charity more than anything else. It's a nice write off for him.

Yeah it was on the homepage. All the proceeds went to the YMCA of Southern Nevada. It would be cool if he would raffle the car off now though! I too would buy a ticket!

Posted several timed already. He buys all the charity Camaros. I think he gave $350K for 2010 VIN #100001 in 2009.

It's a write off... and a good cause so it's WIN-WIN. When you have that much money, you have to spend it on stuff you can write off or else Uncle Sam takes it.

If he wanted a Lamborghini, he'd just go get one, like you and I buy a pair of pants. He probably has a couple already... if he's into them.

He's got a dealership too. What dealer wouldn't want a ZL1 sitting in the lobby?

Sure he has a house... a few probably.

All the people making these kind of statements... You can't fathom the money this man has. He can buy anything he wants!

Does anything at Barrett Jackson not sell for five times what it is actually worth?

Technically it's not SOLD... How can something be sold that doesn't exsist? It's just already spoken for...
