Just a tad over its $174,995 starting price.
Of all the auction events on Barrett-Jackson’s calendar throughout the year, Scottsdale stands out as the pinnacle among serious car collectors and passionate enthusiasts. From massive seven-figure sales to fuel-driven festivities throughout the week, Scottsdale has fully embraced its presence as Arizona Car Week is now a must-attend for those who love all things automotive. As part of this year’s Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, the first retail production VIN 001 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 crossed the block as the event’s highlight. It’s been a long-standing tradition of Barrett-Jackson to showcase the first production example of an anticipated new model, with proceeds benefiting various charities.
The Corvette ZR1 continues to grow in popularity since its jaw-dropping debut to the world, leaving eager customers running to dealers to lock in a build slot. Making over 1,064 horsepower thanks to a 5.5L twin-turbocharged flat-plane crank LT7 V8 engine, the 2025 ZR1 now holds the title as the most powerful Corvette ever made. In a packed room full of bidders, enthusiasts, and media, the gloss black Corvette ZR1 made its way across the stage as bidding quickly intensified amongst buyers looking to secure VIN 001. The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 001 sold at a hammer price of $3,700,000, with all auction fees waved and 100% of the proceeds benefitting the American Red Cross. With the very first C8 Corvette ZR1 on the road, we anticipate that more chassis will be rolling off the production line at Bowling Green very soon.
