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.

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. 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. Subtracting just the black and red cars, Ruby Red accounts for more than 10% of all remaining ZR-1s.

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.

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?

And are you suggesting thta there were 6922 "40th Anniversary ZR-1's?
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!
