Does anyone know how many were built?
All I can get from Chevy is 2552 427 Convertibles and not how many with the exact Collector's Edition configuration and packages.

That was the Z25 option that came in the Artic White with the blue convertible top and the silver blue stripes. The stripes also go through the top. There were 2,059 produced.

As I read it for the 427 CE Corvette, the NCM website lists the production number for the Z25 60th Anniversary package at 1088 and the Z30 60th Anniversary Graphics option at 897.

I guess that when I pull out my build sheet and match it up to the stats, the lowest one should be the number. Thanks to you both for steering me in the right direction.

WOW! Thanks for the information--our car is one of only 45 built! If I have known it was so rare, I wouldn't have driven it so much.

BEASTC6

Me too.

Curious----what options etc. did you get where only 45 were built?

I'd like to know as well. Unless it's a ZR1.

Certainly not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but I don't understand why a specific combination of options--with the exception of say, the big block RPO on the older C2-C3 vintage--would make a particular car more desirable or valuable. I mean, they all come with the LS7 motor and an M6 trans and F55 in the convertible GS widebody. Aside from the fact that the 427 vert was already a limited one-year run from the factory, the list of options isn't gonna make a car more rare or valuable, unless you find a specific buyer who's looking for those exact options in a used car. School me….

Speaking for myself......it isn't a question of whether the car is 'more valuable'------they are all going to depreciate more than they have already; and I really don't see them becoming collector items (certainly not in our lifetime), but I love the quirkiness of it all. Only 28 Super Sonic Blue were made-----come on, that is cool---just 28 of something. That is a great talking point------even better, only 17 inferno orange. To be honest, if I had known that, I probably would have looked for an inferno orange 427 when I was looking for my velocity yellow. I had an atomic orange ZO6 and liked that; so an inferno orange with only 17 made----sure, I would have done it. Not because I think it would be worth more, but (1) it would be a great conversation piece at shows, and (2) I would have been able to wear all my atomic orange shirts, etc. instead of having to go out and buy yellow items.......keep in mind my wife thinks we are all insane for --her words, not mine---wasting our money on these toys---she can't understand why anyone would buy one of these cars---never mind folks like me that get a little extra kick out of it if there weren't that many made.

Know what I think about people who think their car is going to be "more valuable" in coming years? BS!! You won't live long enough to see it. It will take 40 or 50 years for that to happen. DRIVE THE THING and enjoy it because you don't get to come back in another life to do it over.

They only built 400 Arctic White 60th Anniversary Grand Sport 4LT Coupes. Of the 400 there were 355 with the Z30 60th Anniversary Graphics (Stripes). That leaves only 45 without the stripe package--one of those is our car.

funz06

I like it---cool! And as the other guy said, DRIVE IT. Haven't had mine a year yet, and have about 4,000 miles on it up here in snowy NE. Hope to do 4,000 to 5,0000 per season.............no sense keeping the miles low for the next owner. We paid good money for these cars, we should enjoy them.

Itshakes

We bought this car because we liked the Grand Sport, not because it was 1 of 45!!! I only discovered it's rarity when I checked the numbers on this thread. We do not now, or ever have had a "Garage Queen".
This car was bought to replace our '96 LT4 (another "rare" one) and we drove the wheels off that one. Before that we owned a '67 Rally Red Conv. 350 HP 327 with air Conditioning (1 of 326). Drove that one all over the USA! Just last year we drove the "Tail of the Dragon with the LT4 and enjoyed the power/handling of a C4. Our GS is 10 times the car that the C4 was, and we will drive this one whenever the mood suits us - Rain or Shine!!!

Well, said! We can all enjoy our vettes in many different ways. There is no wrong way. The fact that you learned that your vette is rare simply adds to your joy of ownership.

Itshakes

Thank you!! You said it better than I did!

Today when I was driving my wife to work we ended up driving next to a 60th ann. for several blocks. Arctic white (no stripe), top down. Easily spotted the 60th and 427 badges. I was grinning the whole time. It's a sweet looking ride. The driver looked irritated to be in the middle lane in traffic, though.

I would be more impressed with owning 1 of 3 2013 z06s in supersonic blue. Or 1 of the 2 2013 z06 in Inferno Orange.

There's a white 427 Anniversary without stripes sitting at our local dealership. He ordered it that way over a year ago and can't sell it.

My wife is the exact same way! I tell her, "If loving Corvettes is wrong...I don't want to be right."
