Any idea how to find out the date it was built?

Some nice carbon fiber options! Updated with that info.
And interesting, I just ran across another one from Paille, they have number 705 as well.
There is more than one way to get your build date.
And if you're not a member of the museum, join :-) You'll get discounts on their stuff.
Of course, a good way to join is to go to the Grand Sport Registry and join them. You will then get a 25% discount to join the Museum and discounts on other things as well.

- Contact your dealer, they can look it up
- If you have a copy of your invoice, the Invoice Date is usually your build date (if you don't have a copy of your invoice, contact your dealer and ask for it)
- Contact the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. They can get it and they can get copies of your invoice, window sticker, build sheet, etc
- Wait a while and I'll get it, I'm slowly collecting that data

Starting to get some real solid closure on the early builds.
I've now confirmed up to #0369 all the base configs as well as the build dates for those cars. More coming.
This includes some cars that went to Europe, Japan and the Middle East.
There's a tab for Geographic stuff (and some other statistic tabs) that are starting to take shape (examples below).

Thanks for the Canadian spotting! I don't have a good handle on those dealer websites. Updated

#900 has been spotted - Hendrick Chevrolet in KS.
Also, I've added a Used Listings tab to the registry. There have been three used ones spotted so far, so I thought it would be good to track asking prices (will be difficult to get actual prices unless the buyers show up on the forums).
So keep your eyes peeled and report any that you spot!

I think all the tracking, charts and now geographic location is really cool. Keep up the good work.

The way I figure, if the spreadsheets are setup right, any other Collector Edition can be tracked in the same way. Just need one of those owners (that is obsessive in tracking details :-) to step up. I will say, it's a bit of work, I was thinking there was some light at the end of the tunnel with #900 but then these used ones popped up and I had a DOH moment, now I have to track those too!

Two of them are selling for more than I paid for my Z07

What they list for and what they actually sell for are two different things of course.
I'm trying to track down the exact options for those three as well, I think I have some of it, but not all of it....that will get us a more accurate view on the original MSRP on those cars.

Agreed. There are still tons of them at the dealers, I think it would be pretty difficult to sell a used one for a while. But then again, we know a lot about the cars, there are enough people out there that don't that will walk in and buy one I guess without research.
