Will a ZR1 be represeted at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale?

Does any know definitively if the ZR1 will be on display at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale in January, and if so what configuration and color? Thanks.

Probably not (most likely too early).
If there is one, it would be auctioned for charity (and Hendrick would be the buyer).

yup, same schit, different story. Good thing circus auctions like BJ don't actually reflect the true values of vehicles, it's the Barnum and Bailey of the auto auction world.

I've watch plenty of BJ and some of the others.
After awhile it occurred to me there is little difference in these auctions and walking into a dealer showroom.
Both make me feel like I'm walking into a den of vipers and both make me feel a little dirty.

If I know Mr. H like I think, he will pay 7 figures plus for that future car, and will go to the PBC at BG to build the engine himself, like he did with the C6 one he got.....
