I've got a link for them but not sure it will have all the details you are asking for. Try

www,c6registry.com/membersonly/production/09special

I've got another site, just have to remember what it is.

I have two of the GT1's

09 Z06, yellow with black: 1 of 38
09 Coupe, black with yellow, 1 of 20 (could be 24)

Pretty good eyecatchers whereever you go and like the one who posted said "never heard of them", they are quite rare. Not worth eleventy billion yet but they will do well in who knows how many years! I bought mine because i did not want another red, blue, black or whatever vette, not that they arent nice because they are, just wanted something a bit different and liked the way they look.

Thanks for the reponds thus far.

I was looking for something unique as well, I traded out of a ZR1. for a Black and yellow coupe. I have #10 of #24 black, load with a 6spd. Which I purchased a few weeks back from Wes @ Reliable Chevy. . It appears to be an awesome car.

I have not seen many, most have No Nav, or No second top.

I think the coupes were all 4Lt's, mine only has one top, 6 speed, no nav. I picked it up last month in Ankeny, Iowa of all places and drove it back to CA dodging storms, tornadoes and hail along the way. My Z06 is a 3Lt, nav and all the goodies, found that in Ohio last July but i drove out with an enclosed trailer and picked it up.

Not sure if I can post this as it involves a dealers inventory--I have NO relation, NO connection, NO financial interest to the dealership but Courtesy Chevrolet in San Jose has 2 GT1 Coupes in Stock. Both Yellow, Auto, Nav, Dual Tops, chrome wheels...fully loaded...and they are willing to deal.

Here's mine... (#20 of 24) AWESOME looking cars!! I actually flew to Bud's in OH to get the yellow coupe but after seeing it in person I decided to get the black one instead--just really like the color contrast on the black a bit more. As well, Bud's was in the process of selling the yellow coupe to a guy who had come in from Pennsylvania that morning to see the yellow. If I had wanted yellow I'm sure Tom could have found one for me:

I'm just partial to yellow. the wife likes the black coupe better. I love both of em. really liked dealing with buds too. i had asked them to find me a convertible after picking up the z06 but never heard back from them. i never saw any vert gt1's come up for sale.


i'd love to get the link for the decal package in the event something ever happened.

There was one convertible still out there, unsold, as of a few mos. ago.

We built one of the black GT1 Convertibles as a Callaway SC580 and we are being sent one of the black GT1 Coupes for our SC606 package

There was a yellow GT1 Z06 one of our dealers was going to send to us however, someone bought the car a couple weeks ago. Each of these cars would have been one-of-one cars

I have #4 of 29 VY GT1 Coupes made. I was told by Harlan Charles at Carlisle last year that I have the first production built edition of this car (#'s 1-3 were built for GM for promotional purposes). I ordered as soon as it was officially announced. I loved the Jake logos and the custom embroidery in the interior.

I have the MN6, painted top only, and no Nav. Love the car and it gets a lot of attention whenever I take it out, which is less now than before. I've decided to keep it as a collector car and bought a 2010 VY Grand Sport this year as my "daily driver".

Here's some pics of my GT1:






And here's a pic of my new "daily driver":

Though when I called your shop a few weeks back the women I talked with and the gentleman said in need go through a dealer and gave me those around us.

I live less then 20 miles away and having a GT1 would be a great project, since you already have put it a conv't together.

Kevin
Kevin,

Thank you for calling the shop - our sales are handled through our Authorized Dealer Network these days. The price is the same as going direct. I understand with as close as we are, it would seem to make more sense to deal direct however, the dealers add a lot of value to our program and they should be more than able to help.

If I could be of help, introducing you to our dealer in Connecticut, please drop me an email.

You would have your choice between the SC580 and SC606 packages - you will also want the optl. C16 hood, then add for refinishing w/ "Jake" graphics

I hope this helps Chris
