Ok I dont want to argue either, but productions numbers are not a basis for demand when it comes to Color. Engine and suspension and package options are a different argument. Of coarse a ZR1 demands a higher price, but if they make more money on yellow ones, why are they not all Yellow? The low production numbers on Z's with yellow color are simply because they dont sell as well. But the few people who want them will pay the premium for them. The demand is there, just a much much smaller demand than a mainstream color.
It can help a Corvette keep its value if the color is in demand and there are not alot available for sale. Now if there are 1,500 Corvettes just like yours, your buyer segment might be bigger but you have more competition and are selling from a weak vantage point since buyers have a ton of options and cars to choose from. (some distressed sellers etc)
It's not just worth more to me, its worth more in the market place because buyers seek it out and supply/demand comes into play.
Ever go to a Corvette show and and some guy tells you how his car is 1 of 100 with manual AC controls
I am in agreement with you on volume of colors at the dealer, more common colors having a larger audience and less shelf life on the lots.

Funny, i just put the same comment in another C4 value thread.
Although, I don't think anybody was talking about future value when we are Dead
Are you an old **** already?
