GM CEO Dan Akerson's 1958 Chevrolet Corvette sells at Barret
Filed under: Classics, Convertible, Performance, Auctions, Videos, Chevrolet, GM, Misc. Auto Shows
General Motors CEO Dan Akerson has said his final goodbye to his own personal 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. The car just sold here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, with a final gavel price of $270,000 - since 100 percent of the sale price is slated to benefit Habitat for Humanity Detroit, there are no extra charges from the auction house on top of the sale price.
For those interested, the base price for a '58 'Vette Convertible was $3,591, complete with a 245-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 engine. Of the 9,168 Corvettes sold in 1958, just 510 of them were painted in this particularly attractive shade of blue, known as Regal Turquoise.
Check out a video from Speed showing the car as it crosses the auction block as well as the car's official auction description below, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live photos from the big tent above. You can also watch live streaming of the whole event here at Speed.Continue reading GM CEO Dan Akerson's 1958 Chevrolet Corvette sells at Barrett-Jackson for $270,000 [w/video]
