This Corvette was sold for $220,000. All proceeds from this particular auction will go to The Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation. This is a charity that revolves around the early detection of amyloidosis.

The 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 redefines the iconic nameplate, placing it among rivals like Ferrari and Lamborghini. With a rear-engine setup, distinctive design elements, and a potent 5.5-liter V-8 engine, it delivers outstanding performance, hitting 60 mph in a mere 2.6 seconds.

Recognizing its excellence, the Z06 earned a spot on the prestigious 2023 10Best Best Cars list by Car and Driver.
