We know that some of the richest and filthiest car fanatics can be seen at the yearly Barrett-Jackson Auction. It should come as no surprise then that GM had the last of 427 Limited Edition Corvette Z06‘s on sale at the show. The car which is worth $80,000 was sold for $200,000 to a generous buyer. All the proceeds of the sales went to American Red Cross to help relief efforts in Haiti that was destroyed by an earthquake a couple of weeks back.

Inside, the Corvette contains a Dark Titanium leather-wrapped interior and special Crystal Red center trim plate.
