Does anyone know anything about this particular keychain and its value? I came across only one on eBay for $126 and was trying to get some information about it.

Nice 1st post. But it isn't a key chain for a C8 generation Corvette. What did the ebay ad say about the description?

Here is a link to some of the different generation and year logos. The closest would be a 4th generation.

Looks like a keychain for a C4 - as far as worth, who knows.

Yes, definitely C4 logo, so must be rare to ask that kind of money.

It could be from anywhere. Value is purely in the eye of the beholder without some providence.

Ask a stupid price, you just might find someone dumb enough to pay it.

This might be the Ebay listing..... although the background is different. Price is the $126.

The linked auction has a seller in Japan. The scale measuring the item is metric. Looks used because the hole for the chain attachment seems to have a lot of wear. I see lots of regular items on eBay and Amazon with crazy prices. Post a stupid price eventually you will find a stupid buyer. The seller has almost 4000 items listed, in the last 90 days he has sold 120 items!

I am always looking for C4 key chains to have my spare set on its proper keychain but certainly wouldn't pay stupid price for one. My driver set of keys are on a pewter key chain of a C4 car from way back in the 90's.

Definitely c4 and believe they changed the emblem in 91 to have black behind the flag. So that’s a 90 or earlier c4.
