Matching the gavel price of Dan Akerson’s personal 1958 Chevrolet Corvette was Guy Fieri’s Corvette of his own, with his personalized 2013 427 Convertible selling for an equal $270,000. All the proceeds benefit Cooking With Kids, a program by the Guy Fieri Foundation for Inspiration and Imagination.

Fieri’s LS7-powered drop-top is unique with its black with custom yellow stripes, and it probably smells like a diner kitchen.

    Obviously the buyer didnt realize 2 crucial things:
    1. Guy Fieri
    2. It is the opposite of the Hertz Vette.

    But on the upside, if they forget what car they just bought, it has a reminder on the windshield

        Very true, but unless you’re in a skeletal frame car rarely do you see the engine. But if you see a custom black and yellow painted Vette, you’re more likely to assume it’s a Hertz rental than go “that’s a four-twenty-seven”
