This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible sold for $3.2 million - a record as far as Corvettes are concerned.

[W]hen the L88 was ordered, Chevy made several individual options mandatory, including Positraction, the transistorized ignition, heavy-duty suspension, and power brakes, as well as RPO C48, which deleted the normal radio and heater to cut down on weight and discourage the car's use on the street. As costly as it was powerful - at an additional $1,500 over the base $4,240.75 price - the L88 engine and required options were sold to a mere 20 buyers that year ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrol...vette_%28C2%29
