What do you consider a Low VIN

It could be as large as the first Thousand or as small as the first 100.
I owned the 27th Corvette built in 1962 and that was the lowest number I ever owned.
It depends who you are talking to. If I had one less then 10 that would be my limit. If I had 999 I would say 1,000.

I wonder if for some it is an actual number like 300 or less or the number would be a percent of the total built that first year? If they build 25,000 the first year would 250 be a LOW VIN?

This year we'll be seeing more low vins than ever before after Captured Test Fleet cars are sold to the public.
Forum member Shane Wade's C7 was just built, his vin is 00071. The yellow C7 that plant manager Dave Tatman drives is also vin 00071.
In past years CTF cars began with the normal 100001 and customer orders followed them. But for 2014 CTF cars started with 000001 and continued up over 000300. Then when customer order production began last week they started back at 100001 for Mr Hendrick and the rest of us.
Dave Tatman's ride is 000071
Shane Wades order is 100071

In 2009 there were three different ZR-1's with vin # 001.

Not at first. But later on in the year some of them will be inspected, updated if necessary, and sold to GM dealers through GM's used car auction network. The dealers will sell them to retail buyers.

Tell that to the few that shelled out 5 grand to pick their vin.
Kinda cool I guess if you car was built the first day of C7 production, beyond that who cares
Lowest vin I have had is 1110 on my 01 coupe

When I order my C7 Z07, I plan on having the selectible VIN as my only option.
