What a one off ZR-1 for $3?
It's true. $3 per ticket and the money goes to the Kid's Wish Network. Oh, and you also get a fully restored '67 427 Vette! It looks like the charity is located in Holiday.
"Want to be a hero? Or, do you at least want to drive a heroic car? May we suggest the 1 of 1 Hero Edition 2009 Corvette ZR1 that General Motors has created specifically for the Kids Wish Network. There may not be any changes to the stock ZR1's drivetrain, but that's fine – it certainly didn't need any.
To separate the Hero Edition from the rest of its ZR1 siblings, GM's team of Corvette designers and engineers equipped this particular 'Vette with a bespoke graphics package with red accents in lieu of the normal blue. Other special bits include "additional carbon fiber components," though we're left wondering what those composite pieces may be.
There's only one 2009 Hero Edition in existence, and if you want it, you'll need to order a $3 ticket... or, ya know, a few hundred tickets. There's no limit on how many times a single individual can enter the drawing, and the more tickets you purchase, the better your chances of winning will be. Shelley Breiner, Executive Director for the Kids Wish Network, expects this lone drawing to fund its Hero of the Month program for at least an entire year. So, order away – it's for a good cause."

I'm sure the designers and engineers were called in to stick on some vinyl.

It's a shame isn't it? A guy throws a few bucks in the hopes of winning a $100K dream machine and he has to come up with 35K for the IRS before he can pick it up. Not as easy as it sounds, especially in this economy.

I got to sit in that ZR1. My brother works for GM, and it is in the showroom of the store he works at. He called me when they we're bringing it in, and I got to sit in it/rev it up a bit. Sounds AMAZING. Its pretty much a stock ZR1 with vinyl's on it, but nothing wrong with that..still an awesome car!
