I think the ZR1 was just an performance and handling package.

That doubled the price of the car! There's one here on Craigslist, a 91 with 10 miles, never titled too.

Or what about the 1961 & 1963 Tanker Z06s?

There are many of these, some were just Decals slapped on at the Factory.

How about a 67' BB Roadster or the New ZR1? Or the old ZL1 in the late 60's

I don't think they were built as "Special Editions".
Rare option for sure.

I think all of the above would fall into the same category as the Z06...just another option not a special edition.

Don't forget about the 2003 Milestone Edition cars - only about 90-100 were made out of 1000 originally planned.

There ia also the Hertz Edition. I realize it was never an option to the general public, but Hertz is now selling them. There are a few on the internet in my area.
