C8 makes a surprise visit at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas

Hey, You are pretty good at taking pics. HaHa Thanks!

Thanks I do try.

Is this the Cyber Gray Metallic ?

To my eyes in person, it was very white. I will try to find out if it is actually that or something else. But again, I was told this car was a pre-production (actually the first one VIN 0001) car for testing and EPA standards, etc.

Most likely Arctic White then as CMG is most definitely not very white.

No, this 001 may not be sold to the public. It is part of the test fleet for EPA approval, etc. And actually, the 'camera' did pick up the blue correctly, it is very bright in person.

My apologies. Clicking on the pics on my desktop and the interior color is spot on.
EPA test fleet explains no Z51. Better aero without spoilers. I think I heard GM is keeping vin 001 ... so options would not matter to them. Pretty monumental car to see in person.

only thing that would make me sad is 30 years from now that car or a car like it rolls across the actuon blocks with no miles on it.

That car is destined for the GM museum. It will never be sold.

Thank you very much Jeff. I too was unaware it was going to be there. Thank you for your excellent pictures!!

You actually are quite funny. Thank you

The white c8 with the black /blue combo interior I really like and will be a nice addition to the museum as you suggest.

Not my suggestion. Kai Spande said at NCM that car, the first "saleable" C8 with VIN #1, was destined for GM's museum.

I’m going tonight. Will shoot lots of video. Jeff clearly has the photos covered.

Barrett-Jackson just announced this C8 will be auctioned! "Barrett-Jackson to Auction First Production 2020 Corvette Stingray, VIN 001, for Detroit Children’s Fund During 49th Annual Scottsdale Auction"

Interesting. I guess GM execs changed their mind about putting it in the museum. Or maybe that isn't this car, which is pre-production vin 0001.

Well, it'll be out of my price range anyway.

I do believe that this is the car since it is displayed by the other cars that Barrett-Jackson is showing for it's upcoming Scottsdale Auction. [click on image to see it full size]

there will likely be a DOZEN VIN# 00001's , since it only takes 1 other digit being changed to make it possible

the white blue combo looks good !

also there is always a VIN # 00001 auctioned off , and it hasnt been the car at the auction in some cases

The GM rep this morning said this is the car that will be auctioned. Also said it is Arctic White.

They just showed it briefly on the BJ Auction!

talked very positively about price/value and how it’s made many enthusiasts (of other cars) think twice.

Nice bit of promo for the C8!
