If you're looking to purchase it, it'll be well worth your money, provided it's been properly maintained.

1,000 miles …..it’s basically new … and I personally like the zo6 look more then the zr1 especially when the grand sport has that scooper on the hood in carbon fiber ….

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Callaway Corvette, mine is amazing. The only thing I'll say is to carefully inspect the carbon fiber hood bulge, the cf on mine is delaminating in clusters - looks like a bunch of white spots all over it.

That car, with the RPO, makes it the rarest special factory option

they are wonderful cars with some really nice details. Which one are you considering? There’s one for sale now, I saw....

That’s about as low as I know. Others have tens of thousands of miles.
It’s a great driving car.

Here’s a video which might be of interest

Mine currently has 20k mi. I purchased it with 17k mi & the hood bulge was already delaminating. I have it covered with Xpel paint protection film, but doesn't seem to be helping.

As for numbers, my vehicle is a SC652 Carbon Edition Z06. Callaway did not number these, but I've been told there were less than a handful produced.
