On Saturday, June 29, General Motors and Barrett-Jackson will offer the opportunity of a lifetime with the auction of the final production seventh-generation Chevrolet Z06 Corvette. One-hundred percent of the hammer price will benefit the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, named for New York City firefighter Stephen Siller, who died during the Sept. 11 attacks.
'We're honored to be able to help great companies like GM raise money and awareness for critical organizations like the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation,' said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. 'It's a great privilege to be a part of this historic moment, selling the last Corvette of the current generation in support of our first responders and military heroes. You simply won't find a more compassionate group of people than those inside the collector car community.'
Barrett-Jackson's Northeast Auction will also be home to highly sought-after muscle and custom collector cars, including a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. This all-matching-numbers, first-generation Z/28 is powered by a 302ci 8-cylinder engine coupled to a M22 heavy-duty manual transmission. It also comes with extensive documentation, including certifications from Jerry MacNeish, judging sheets, receipts and ownership history.
