1st Corvette ZR1 Rolls Off Assembly Line, Purchased and Delivered

Dave Ressler’s love of Corvettes is exceeded only by the depth of his pockets, and has paid $1 million for the very first ZR1, which has rolled off an assemby line into his driveway. Ressler, who’s been selling Chevys for 20 years, bought the car earlier this year at the big Barrett-Jackson auction and picked it up last week. GM donated the $1 million to the United Way. After their last quarter loss of $15+ billion United Way better cash the check quickly!

Ressler’s Corette ZR1 comes with a custom VIN plate (No. 0001) and one-of-a-kind paint job in LeMans Blue. He also got to tour the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, Ky where he drove his new toy off the assembly line. Although the ZR1 produces 638 horsepower and can circle the Nurburgring in an astonishing 7:26.4, Ressler won’t be flogging it. It’s headed back to Bozeman, Mont. to join the other 45 ‘Vettes in his collection. Which, by the way, includes the first ‘53 Corvette GM ever sold.

Ressler Loves his Vettes!
