Pretty sure the winning bidder gets to spec it however they want. But he seems to really like black cars*, so the only question is whether it will be a 70th Carbon Flash or the regular black.

*The story, as told when you get a tour of his private collection, is that he was driving a black '67 427 when he met his wife. He has a collection of '67 427 'vettes in every combination of color & stinger stripe offered that year.

Yep an hour after I posted that on Saturday, while watching the auction, someone else said not all Chevy and it was changed! Was just trying to say unlike some multimillion/billionaires who were bidding multiple millions for cars that day, he was a big CHEVY AND Corvette guy from his humble beginnings,


Some buy cars for investment or because they make so much money from sports etc it’s just a prestige toy they soon sell. Not him!
