They didn't explain that fact well enough...$60K a gallon is the special chemically altered clear coat that covers the exposed carbon fiber on the body...they say roughly $2000 worth of material will actually be on each car. Just thought I'd clear that up...

with that one selling for that price it prob. means the other Zr1 will go well over msrp just like the first z06s did. and for the paint i think the LeMans blue is the best color besides black of course

The proceeds from the sale went to the United Way. Also they said every dollar over the msrp was tax deductible for the buyer. So yeah it was expensive, but it went for a good cause.

it came with a bunch of extras too....a bunch of memorabilia, he can pick it up at Bowling green - or Jay Lenos garage, he can be the first person to start the car, driving school at Baldurran (sp), and a bunch of others...and yea, every dollar over the msrp was considered tax deductable... The guy that bought it is the same guy that bought #003 1953 Vette for 1,000,000 at BJ auction

The color on the car at the auction was Jet Stream blue, a production color. veThe Lemans Blue that the actual car will be is a bit darker. They had the Cyber Gray ZR1 at the Detroit auto show with painted wheels. It's just not as striking as the blue with chrome wheels is.
