KISS’s Paul Stanley Is Auctioning Off His 2022 Corvette Convertible, VIN 001, Throws In A Guitar

KISS frontman Paul Stanley will sell his 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible at Barrett-Jackson’s forthcoming Las Vegas Auction to be held from June 30 to July 7.

Stanley’s Corvette is VIN 001 for the 2022 model year and is finished in Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat. It also sports a black roof, the available Z51 package, and the High Wing Spoiler. Making Stanley’s 2022 Corvette stand out even further are the yellow brake calipers.

The interior of the car also makes quite a bold statement thanks to the tan-colored leather that adorns the seats and parts of the dashboard, door panels, and transmission tunnel. Other areas of the cabin are clad in black leather with tan-colored contrast stitching.

Stanley has long been a fan of the Corvette and in 2014, helped to design a C7 Corvette Stingray that Chevy displayed at that year’s SEMA Show. His first new car was a 1977 Corvette and he says he took inspiration from some of his favorite European vehicles in speccing out his 2022 model.

The KISS frontman is selling the car with no reserve because he “couldn’t do it justice” as he is so conscious of its pedigree and the fact that it is VIN 001. “I want to make it available to somebody who might be able to get more out of it, whether it’s to add to a collection or to drive it,” he told Barrett-Jackson.

The winning bidder won’t just receive the keys to the car but will also be handed an autographed Ibanez PS120 Paul Stanley Signature guitar.

“The guitar is another part of my life, another aspect of who I am,” Stanley says. “So I thought that whoever acquire the car would have another piece of who I am. I want somebody to take this car and do whatever makes them happy with it, to enjoy it,” Stanley said. “That’s really the keyword, I think, for any collector of anything — joy. And for me, my life has always been about the joy I can bring to other people. So here’s a car and a guitar. Go enjoy.”
