Story from KSNV NBC Las Vegas — The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) has received a generous donation from Ken Goodrich, chairman of Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing. Goodrich donated a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette, which he recently acquired at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, to CSN’s Department of Applied Technologies.
This classic Corvette will serve as a hands-on restoration project for students, providing invaluable real-world experience. Upon completion, the restored vehicle will be sold at a future Barrett-Jackson auction, with the proceeds directly benefiting the college.
“I’ve always been a champion for the trades,” Goodrich stated, highlighting his commitment to supporting higher education and vocational training.
This donation not only fuels student learning but also reinforces the importance of skilled trades in today’s workforce.

Chevrolet just dropped a full video of the 2025 Corvette ZR1 hitting an average of 233 MPH at the ATP track in Papenburg, Germany. Behind the wheel was GM President Mark Reuss, who credited the car’s engineering and preparation for the impressive run. Reuss kept the ZR1 in Sport Mode, pushing it to the 8,000 RPM redline in 6th gear.
The two-direction top-speed run clocked in at 233.08 MPH and 233.50 MPH, averaging 233 MPH. Chevrolet proudly claims it’s the fastest production car under $1 million, achieved with a standard ZR1—no special modifications, just the stock chassis, aero package, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
“Setting this record was a surreal experience,” Reuss said. “The mid-engine design made this possible, and it’s a true testament to the ZR1’s power and the incredible team behind it.”
