This item is being sold on behalf of the estate of Kenneth Bryan Barnard. Mr. Barnard was a passionate racing fan and automotive enthusiast, as well as an avid collector and customer of GoMotorBids.com. He passed away very unexpectedly in February of 2008, and all of us here miss our friend Ken. It is our privilege and honor to be facilitating these auctions on behalf of his estate, knowing that the proceeds will benefit the three beautiful young children that he left behind.

This particular item was purchased by Ken right here at GoMotorBids.com. Below is the description from the original auction listing. We wanted everyone to see how the item was originally listed, yet, in the case of items that may have been previously owned by race teams, drivers, or our other partners, we wanted it to be clear that the majority of the revenue from these sales returns to the Estate of Ken Barnard.
Original Description: This Daytona C5R Corvette is a PROTOTYPE that was NEVER PRODUCED!!! It has a special brushed metal paint job that will look amazing on display!
A PROTOTYPE is one of the first cars to roll off the production line. Before an item can be produced it has to pass through many hands before approval. Once it has passed the rigorous inspection, it is produced and made available to the public for purchase. BUT THIS SPECIFIC CORVETTE WAS NEVER PRODUCED! This is a very unique item and can only be obtained through GoMotorBids.com. So don't delay, place your winning bid today!
GoMotorBids is proud to be able to offer this item up for bid, as it was part of a large, private collection, which we recently acquired from a former "Industry Insider". This insider worked for years in top management at one of the major diecast companies.
