That is not something they ever discuss.
But for 1+ million I would assume he gets to choose all the options he wants

Charity auction??

Just wondering out loud, but I wonder what the 1st 1984 C4 is worth now. After all it was the latest and best GM had to offer then.

And BTW:

I've taped about 7 hours of it to watch tomorrow. I can't stand 90% of the crap they show. 4 cars go across and then it's 5 min of the same old commercials. I put my DVR in 3rd gear FF and only stop it to see a Corvette or GM car. I hate all of the charity stuff.

Was anyone else surprised at the choice of charity? Seems like there would be a lot more needy charities out there than a design school?!

He also bought the C3 Owens Corning road race Corvette for $1,000,000. Oh and the 300K George Bush Ford pickup for charity too.

After seeing a series of seven figure sales, anything in the low six figures looked like tip money. Dennis

While some scrounge the cracks of their couch for enough change to go to Taco Bell for a meal, I throw money around there several times a week. Heck I might spend as much as $7 just a single meal! I never give it a second thought, that kind of money is chump change to me.

If I had Hendrick's money, BJ would be my Taco Bell.
