Representatives of the HeartStrings Foundation couldn’t contain their excitement when a 2020 Chevrolet Corvette sold for $370,000 to benefit the organization.

Last night, the hammer fell at $370,000 for a 2020 Corvette Z51 Stingray at the Barrett-Jackson Fall Auction 2020 at Westworld of Scottsdale in Arizona.
Dressed in Shadow Gray Metallic with Adrenaline Red interior, the Z51 Stingray Coupe was generously donated by a Barrett-Jackson customer to benefit the HeartStrings Foundation – whose mission is to provide guitars to veterans and actively serving military members and their families to help integrate music into their recovery.

The gavel came down on a winning bid of $370,000, all of which will go to the worthy cause – and the the winning bidder also went home with a two-day course at Spring Mountain Motor Resort, a guitar signed by a number of notable country music artists – and 50 guitars will be sent to the charity of their choice.
