Hi all,
Just purchased a 2003 MY Z06 Anniversary Edition. I was wondering if anyone has a picture of the owner's manual with everything included that it came with. The previous owner is trying to locate the owner's manual for me. He seems to have misplace it, but said that it came in a special edition leather bound case that says 50th Anniversay and Z06 on the lower left hand corner. Inside he said there was a notepad that said 50th Anniversary on top and z06 on the bottom in gold. Also, a tire gauge and pen with a gold logo saying Z06 on it. He wasn't sure if it came with a CD or VHS.
The Z06 only has a 1,000 miles on it and I would like to get the complete owner's manual. I called a vendor that sells these, however, it only comes with a pen and flashlight, which doesn't have the gold logo. It doesn't come with a tire gauge, instead the flashlight, and the notepad has no 50th Anniversary logo on it. I heard that the tire gauge only came with the Z06, and that you could only get it with a new purchase of the Z and not aftermarket.
Can someone shed some light? Does anyone have a complete set for sale?

Welcome aboard. My car is the same year as yours but I got the faster color. I believe you can get the manual, pen, VHS etc from the corvette museum. I got a copy of the build sheet and a laminated window sticker from them. How great is that? Here's another source. http://www.corvettebooks.com/default...ers_portfolios

I have the set you're referring to; I happen to have an '03 MY Z06 too 
I have a couple of pics for you, but I won't be able to post them until Monday, when I'm back at work.
The set consists of the following:
A black folder made out of vinyl that holds everything. It has the "50" logo embossed in color, the "Z06" embossed in color, and "Corvette" embossed in black.
A "Warranty And Owner Assistance Information" booklet.
An owner's manual.
A black pen with "Z06" on it.
A black tire pressure guage with "Z06" on it.
A notpad with the 50th and Z06 logos on it.
The car also came with a VHS tape.

Does anyone know if the 50th Anniversary CD and the VHS that came with the owner's manual upon delivery, are one and the same content, or is the VHS something different than the CD?
Thanks for all your help you guys are GREAT.

Not such a great experience dealing with NCM. Originally, before I posted here, I called NCM to see if I can purchase the owners manual, with the pen, air gauge and notepad, as well as the DVC and VHS that says Z06 version. I was told that the kit didn't have the special Anniversary Z06 pen and pad with gold trim and tire gauge, and that it came with just a flashlight and pen in the regular silver. They also said there was no DVD or VHS in 2003 Anniversary Z06 version.
I called again, after I had posted here and ordered the DVD from them.
I called NCM again for something else, and spoke to a gentleman there. I mentioned what I was looking for and he told me that NCM did carry the entire kit with everything and transferred me to Betty.
I spoke with Betty and specified everything I needed. She told me to hold on and came back a few minute later, and told me that they had the complete kit with the Z06 version VHS, DVD, owners manual/black leather case with notepad, air gauge, and pen (pen and air gauge with gold trim for 50th Anniversary). I asked her three times "are you sure the VHS states Z06 version", and she replied "yes, I'm looking at it".
Needless to say when it arrived, everything was correct as she stated, except for the VHS, which did not state Z06 version like she said. Also, when a friend of mine got his from the NCM, it came in a box, but mine was all just shoved into a big express envelope that said "do not bend". However, on the phone she told me it came in a box.
I called her back, and spoke with her again, explaining that the VHS did not state that it was Z06 version as she claimed. She denied saying the she told me it was a Z06 version. Now, she said GM never made a Z06 version for the VHS. I told her that they did, and that I had a 2002 VHS, Z06 version. Once she realized that I knew something about this item, she changed her story around again, and said "this is all the factory gives us, and we don't get the Z06 version". I reminded her that she told me over the phone that she told me she was looking at it, and asked her if possibly they just packaged it wrong. Well, needless to say, she started to get testy, so I didn't push it. I said I would email her a picture of one that a friend emailed me of his, and I did, however, I have never heard back from her. I emailed her a few times, and have not heard anything. This whole situation urked me, because she wasn't up front with me and then hedged around it later on, which I feel is not good business. Especially, for an institution like the NCM.
Well, I wondering if anyone here knew anyone at NCM who is above her, and knows a little more about it, and may be able to help me locate this VHS. I know a friend of mine received the entire kit from NCM and it did include the Z06 version VHS.
