More info needed is there anything else special about the car.
Allot of dealers had cars modded slightly to make them seem rare. Dealers Hyped them up as being rare, but all you were buying is a c5 with mods done at dealer.
click link below it is good place to start .

Welcome to the Forum! 
Is this the plate to which you are referring?
This was an after market exhaust plate that was sold by Corvette Central and perhaps a few other Corvette accessory dealers. To my knowledge, the plate has now been discontinued. I've often wondered too what it was referring to. Like the other above, I'm unaware of any limited edition Corvettes for model year 2000. I'm wondering if it could be the plate itself that they are referring to as being a numbered or limited edition. Perhaps someone else here can shed some light on the subject.
Good luck.

2024 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Perhaps the total number relates to the number of cars in that particular color. I know my Vette is one of 997 that were Arctic White for the year 2000. Doesn't exactly make it a limited edition, though.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Haven't heard of any special edition 2000 Corvettes - probably just a limited edition on the exhaust plate.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on my "limited edition" question. I just picked up the car last night and I can see this is going to be a great place to come and hang out. I did some research myself and the photo of the billet plate that was posted is just like the one I have. I like it and it is staying on the car. Hope to post pics soon. Thanks again.

Back when I had a C5, the exhaust plate was all the rage. Mainly because the area between the exhaust tips looked so unfinished. They sort of jazzed that area up. Of course, some were way over the top. At least yours, although a bit weathered, is subtle.
