Default rare corvette???

I came across this add and am not sure to believe it any thoughts heres the add and the link, Im going to have look at it tomorrow.

How about this. Rare Millenium Yellow exterior, 6 speed, 405HP, Toyo Proxy tires, active handling system, Heads up Display, Bose sound system and more. This is the last year of the C5 ZO6, which was designed to compete in the 24 hour Lemans series. It has a larger fuel tank, bigger brakes, stronger frame and various other components to make it one of the most desirable ZO6's made. Only 612 made! Its in the showroom and is absolutely stunning. Come and drool!

I'm sure that's in Canadian dollars, but what's so rare about it? Obviously the ad was written by someone that knows very little about Corvettes, and doesn't feel any obligation to the truth.....

Rare Millenium Yellow exterior
it's a typical salesman con job; doing exactly what they're expected to do.

That car is not rare!

Someone should report him for false/misleading advertising.

As far as I know, the Z16 isn't that special. I would find a rare color combo Z06 of any year would be more desirable. Obviously, this ad is just as idiotic as when you would see 3rd gen Camaros and Firebirds that have "corvette motors".

I believe the '01 White Z06 is the rarest C5 Z06 that was made.

for that price, they could have at least cleaned the rust off of the larger factory installed brake rotors.
