SUPER SATURDAY SHATTERS RECORDS: There’s a reason
Saturday is Super! From the moment gates opened, tens
of thousands of fans were treated to one of the most
extraordinary events in the automotive world.

The adrenaline-fueled action reached a fever pitch and
pushed the sale of the first retail production VIN 001 of the
70th-anniversary edition 2023 Chevrolet Corvette to $3.7
million —setting an auction world record — with 100%
of the hammer price benefiting Operation Homefront. In
an exceptionally generous gesture, Michelle Mauzy, noted
philanthropist and longtime member of the Barrett-Jackson
family, donated an additional $100,000 to the nonprofit.
LOT #1398 - 2004 PORSCHE CARRERA GT - SOLD! $1,980,000
Joining Craig Jackson on the block to introduce the vehicle
was Brigadier General (Ret.) John Pray, president and CEO
of Operation Homefront, which helps military families
with housing, financial education and more.
An unparalleled docket of Resto-Mods, celebrity-owned
muscle cars and rare and first-edition supercars also
crossed the world-famous block on Saturday. A 2019
Ford GT Heritage Edition with fewer than 20 actual miles
was the first vehicle to hit — and surpass — the million-
dollar mark, selling for $1.65 million and setting an
auction world record.

Rounding out the Top 10 was a 2004 Porsche Carrera GT,

A highlight of the day was a high-energy appearance on
the block by Grammy Award-winning musician, producer
and NASCAR racing team owner Pitbull, who stopped
LOT #1417 - 2017 FORD GT ‘66 HERITAGE EDITION - SOLD! $1,430,000
by to auction off a 2022 Karma GS-6 EV “305 Edition.”
Customized exclusively for the artist by California-based
Karma Automotive, the sleek black luxury sedan sold for
$500,000, with 100% of the funds benefiting the Selfless
Love and SLAM! foundations, both of which aid children.
Following her generous donation from earlier in the day,
Mrs. Mauzy also donated an additional $100,000 to each of
these charities, bringing the total to $700,000.
U.S. Army veteran and three-time Paralympian Melissa
