Rick Hendrick wasn’t in Las Vegas this weekend, but he still stole the show at the Seventh Annual Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Collector-Car Auction.

The NASCAR team owner is an avid car collector as well as a racer, and Saturday night Hendrick bought the very first 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat 700001 for $825,000. Hendrick employee Dale Ledbetter bid on behalf of his boss to purchase the 707-horsepower Hellcat. This is the only Hellcat painted in Stryker Red, a color only available on the Viper sports car.

All the proceeds from the Hellcat sale will go to Opportunity Village Foundation, a Las Vegas-based nonprofit that works with people who have intellectual disabilities.

Each of the Detroit Big Three automakers donated a hot muscle car to be sold for charities of their respective choosing on Super Saturday at Barrett-Jackson.

The first to cross the block was a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, VIN No. 003. The jet black Z/28 raised $147,500 for the YMCA of Southern Nevada.

One hour later, the very last of 1,964 Limited Edition 2015 Mustangs went up for auction. It hammered for $170,000 with every penny of that headed to the Get Your Heart Racing Foundation to benefit the Henry Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, one of the oldest and most experienced cardiovascular programs in the nation.

Then, an hour after that, the Hellcat sold in the day’s most electric moment.
Wow, that's awesome! :wink:
