As the hype surrounding the mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette C8’s imminent arrival goes into overdrive, let’s pour one out for the departing Chevrolet Corvette C7, the last front-engine Corvette — for now, at least — in the nameplate’s storied history. Given its potential historical significance, It goes without saying that the last-production model would be a must-have model among Corvette aficionados and enthusiasts. Well, that’s precisely what happened because this specific model went up for auction at the Barrett-Jackson Northeast Auction in Connecticut over the weekend and sold for a staggering $2.7 million, becoming one of the most expensive Chevrolet Corvettes sold in an auction in history. All the proceeds from the sale of the final-production Corvette C7 are expected to go to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Smart Home program, an organization that aims to build mortgage-free homes for the catastrophically injured veterans.
