2013 60th
looking to purchase a 60th anniversary GS coupe. I've noticed in researching cars for sale that some models have a white field background in the headlight assembly and others have either a black or dark gray ( haven't seen one up close yet ), hence the darker color discrepancy, for the background color. Can you explain why the difference ? Also noticing that some models are destined to be collector model. How can I tell that the car , indeed is a collector model ?
Thanks, Bunkle

According to the Corvette website and literature available at the time, for the 60th Anniversary Design Package (RPO Z25) the Cyber Gray headlights were optional for all models (Base, Grand Sport, ZO6 and ZR1) except the 427 convertible:
"60th Anniversary Design Package
Celebrate Corvette's rich heritage with the 60th Anniversary Design Package, which includes:
■Arctic White exterior, complemented by Diamond Blue leather-wrapped interior trim
■Blue-stitched sueded microfiber steering wheel, shifter and parking brake
■Blue top for Convertibles
■ZR1®-style full-width spoiler, also in Arctic White
■Dark Gray Metallic brake calipers
■Body-color door handles
■60th anniversary logos on seats, special badging on the steering wheel and special wheel caps
The package does not include stripes unless you order it with the available 60th Anniversary Stripe Package (RPO Z30).
On 427 Convertibles, it requires available Cyber Gray Metallic headlamp color override (RPO H33) and the Z06® Carbon Fiber Package.
This package is not available with the Color Combination Override, Grand Sport Heritage Package or 427 Heritage Package."
There were 400 GS coupes produced with the Z25 package and of those 400, 355 were produced with the Z30 stripe package.
The 427 convertible for 2013 was actually called the "427 Convertible Collector Edition" but it didn't have to come with the Z25 package although a large number of them did (1088 out of 2552). I'm not sure about the collector model status of any of the other Z25 optioned Corvettes that were made.
