Kevin Hart bought a "new" car that's also very old. The comedy superstar paid $825,000 at the recent Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction to buy a very unique 1959 Chevrolet Corvette. The convertible is powered by a 460 hp 6.2-liter V8 from the seventh-generation Corvette, which was the last front-engine model before the mid-engine C8 debuted last year. Hart was the high bidder at the auction, where he was in attendance with his Plastic Cup Boyz comedy crew, who are all working on a new show called "Muscle Car Crew" for the MotorTrend app. Hart is a regular collector of classic-based resto-mods and pro tuner cars like the Corvette, including a 1,000 hp 1970 Dodge Charger he took delivery of in February and the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda he suffered a broken back in when it crashed in 2019.
