Default Rick Hendrick is inthe Building

I am watching the Barrett-Jackson from West Palm Beach and they just show Rick Hendrick. Well will he own the first C7 coupe as well as the first C7 roadster. I think he has a very good chance of being the owner of both.

He was already the high bidder for the first coupe at the previous BJ - wasn't he? I may be confused ??

Yep, he owns VIN 001 when it's produced. And I'd rather not bet against his owning the first convertible as well. The man has a deep love for 'Vettes and very deep pockets.

I told my wife the same thing yesterday before I knew he was going to be there. He's going to own both IMO. I guess we will see soon enough.

If you look, this thread was started prior to him buying the car, and why would you the charity want to tell him to take hos money back?

What are you talking about. The title was nothing more then to point out the topic. If you read my original post, I was watching the Barrett-Jackson auction from West Palm and they show Hendrick stand there. with the C7 Roadster scheduled to be on the auction block around 6 PM, that was a good indication that he was intent on adding this one to his collection. Not sure what Google has to do with anything!

Some of us do NOT care if he is there. What does he have to do with the auction? There are plenty of other collections I can go see and not deal with someone like him. For those who don't get it they can Google him ..................... Nice people don't do what he did.

Well MAYBE some people don't care, but maybe other do, and again besides, I was simply trying to make the point that if he was there it was a good chance that he would be bidding on the C7 roadster. Nothing more nothing less. If you feel that strongly about him, why did you even open the post?

I swear from some of the posts here, Rick Hendrick personally came to their house and drank all their beer in the frig, told them their wife was fat, and kicked their dog.
