Bur rareness is not always desirable. Mine is one of the MOST common but it's the color I wanted. When it was time to buy a ZR-1, virtually the only option I had to choose was which color. And actually I don't like the '93 Anniversary color so it's my 2nd least favorite color behind Red. |

It ain't that many. I'd say it's one of the most rare colors of ALL ZR-1's.

Let's look at it a slightly different way.
Out of about 6900 ZR-1's, there are only 245 Ruby Red ones. That's it. No more. :D :cheers: Marty 1FUNZR1 |

Ruby Red production was more than 4 times that of Admiral Blue. 3. 25% More Ruby Reds were produced than yellow. 4. Subtracting just the black and red cars, Ruby Red accounts for more than 10% of all remaining ZR-1s. 5. In its year of production, Ruby Red accounted for more vehicles than double that of red and black combined. 6. Ruby Red accounts for about 1 out of 6 405HP cars. Ruby Red really is not a rare color. Than again, I didn't purchase a "rare" ZR-1 color either with mine being Torch Red. |

You could look at it a couple of other ways as well:
1. Of the 17 colors offered, only 5 colors were produced in higher numbers than Ruby Red. 2. Ruby Red production was more than 4 times that of Admiral Blue. 3. 25% More Ruby Reds were produced than yellow. 4.

Bet it is one of the lowest number of ZR-1 interior colors.:rofl:
:cheers: Marty 1FUNZR1 Considering they made over 200 L88's, over 600 68 L89's (can't remember how many 69's but I think it puts the numbers close to 1,000) 188 LS6's over 4,000 67 435 cars. To the original poster I think 245 or under 200 cars is pretty rare. |
wasn't the red on the 90 a one year only color too? And the yellow on the 90?

The yellow for 90 was 1 year but it was still comp. yellow. It was sensitive to sunlight so it would change color. In 91-92 they came out with a lighter yellow, then in 93-95 they went back to Comp Yellow. It doesn't have the sensitivity to light but its almost the same color. |
Not to mention..... Ruby/Ruby is a 40th Anniversary car.
Bottom line is, only 245 made!! You can tweak & twist the numbers any way you want, but the ZR-1 is a VERY limited production Corvette. Only 448 total for a years production is insanely low. A large piece of a very small piece of pie is just a taste no matter how you look at it. |

I'm sure the numbers are not too large for the above mentioned, but enough to drop the numbers under 200?

All I know is I want a Ruby ZR1....someday...

When I bought the Purple Beasty, My choice was between a 7K mile 40th Zr-1 and The Callaway body DRM500. I dont regret my decision.

You would lose that bet...white is the lowest production color of ZR-1 interior colors.:thumbs:

No I didn't think so, but you may choose to overlook whatever you wish. There were only 245 40th Anniversary ZR-1's, that is a fact. If that fact is meaningless to some or all, it does not change the fact. Funny. Dunn heads and other things are considered by some to be a special attribute, but not the Anniversary model? Somewhat strange. I love all 6922! :cheers: Marty 1FUNZR1 |
