What do you mean number plates are extra?
American millionaire Dave Ressler has paid $1m for the first Corvette ZR1 off the production line - despite the fact that the second would only have cost him $100,000.
The car was auctioned off for charity alongside the first of the new Dodge Challengers, which also went for a tenfold premium of $400,000 over the list price of $37,995.
The Challenger won't be built until after the official public unveiling of the new car at the Chicago Auto Show in three weeks' time.
Yes sir, your car might look like this....
The ZR1 is already in production, though, and will shortly go on sale to the public, making the $900,000 premium hard to comprehend. Collected Ressler has specified the car in Le Mans blue.... we just hope that metallic paint won't be charged as an optional extra.
