Default How many corvettes were built like yours?

: Now that the production numbers are out for the 2008 model year we can see that a total of 35,310 Corvettes were built, but how many are just like yours? You can go to, http://jeffhardy.com/lookupvette08.php , and pick Don't care for the, "Age", choice, so it shows them all, and then build your car with all the other choices, click, "Find", when done and the resulting list will enable you to say that my car is, 1 out of XXX, built just like mine. Even if the data is not totally complete it will be close. This can be done for 2007's too at, http://jeffhardy.com/lookupvette07.php and with 2009's you can get to where it is, so far at. http://jeffhardy.com/lookupvette.php , Mine is a 2008, coupe, 6-speed manual, Z51, 1LT, Victory Red, Ebony, for the roof choice on a coupe you can pick don't care and zero in on the three choices after, to get a better idea how many cars are like yours with any roof, Dual mode exhaust, Competition Gray wheels. For mine it's, 1 out of 11 with a Body Color Roof, and 1 out of 12 if I pick don't care on the roof. I bought a transparent roof after purchase any way so if I chose, "Dual Tops", mine would come up as 0. So, how rare is your car, it's easy to do and fun to know. If your car was a special order and was never entered in to a dealers inventory for sale it will not show up. You can also enter the last 6 -8 numbers of your Vin. number, have all the other fields as don't care, and it may show up. Pick the right color, Monterey Red is a 2007 color but shows up on the 2008 list of choices. If your not sure of the choice leave it as, don't care. About two thirds of U.S. Corvettes are in the 2008 data base.

For mine it shows 1 out of 14.

2008 Coupe AO Z51 MZ6 NPP

Pretty cool.

Correction, it is 1 out of 12 or less. 2 of the 14 listed have the upgraded wheels on the sticker. I'm guessing the stickers we can't open are cars that are "sold" already.

Default Too Many!!!

Too many Corvettes on the road. On a Saturday afternoon going for a drive, it is easy for me to pass by 10 or more over a 15 minute period of time. Sold the king of HP and bought a Porsche Cayman S a month ago. Not too many of those on the road just yet.

Hope you like your "Cockxter".

And if any of you watch Top Gear, you will know what I am talking about.

And just know mate, it's all in fun.

I doubt that is accurate as it only queries the cars in inventory...

According to that NO cars are like mine...

You have to pick, DON'T CARE, for the first choice to show all the cars in the system.

For me, it only lists one C6, mine. I find it impossible that there are no other '08 Machine Silver C6's with competition gray wheels.

That means your car is fake too since it didn't find it.

It's my understanding, from previous years posts on this, that is IMPOSSIBLE to determine how many of a particular Color/option group were produced from the Data made available from GM. The JEFF Hardey query only searches cars GM "Thinks" are still in inventory at dealerships. Don't get too excited guys...Your cars are not as unique as you may think.. only that there are a few more like yours still for sale (or not)

Well I found mine in the 2007 section. One of 3 that had clear top. If I don't care on top, one of 11.
