You are correct. If you scan through the video in the first post of the Geneva car you will see the screen grab that I have above that shows 0001 / 1000
This car caused a lot of confusion for me in the tracking as it really isn't car #1. This was a prototype car that was built and does have some minor differences with the real production cars, including that badge. That car was actually a 2015 model year car that was cosmetically upgraded to look like what the production car would be.
Car #1 is really a convertible.
The production badges don't have the /1000 (in fact there were only 935 cars built).

It doesn't look like I have a full options list for that car, you mention the aero but not which one and it would be good to know the other options on the car from the factory. If you look at your window sticker, I'm looking for anything that is listed on the sticker that has a $$ value associated with it. You can look at the registry and scroll to the right to see the things I'm looking for. Feel free to PM those details to me if you want.

That's wild about it actually being a 2015 model, what other differences have you found?

The VIN from the Geneva car shows it as a 2015 2LT Stingray! But it is an EX VIN, so could never be sold.
The other noticeable difference that has been noted is the different colored wording on the sill plates (instead of red it is blue). That was killed for production.

Just had the opportunity to purchase #28. Bought from the original owner with only 385 miles. Window Sticker on the vehicle was $103,720.
3LT
Grand sport Collector package
Has Z07 package,
Carbon Fiber Visible Package
Exposed carbon Fiber rear spoiler
Carbon Fiber tonneau inserts
Vehicle cover - fully rendered
Complete clear bra front hood and fenders
However, i don't like the Black wheels. Old school going to order Z06 Chrome wheels to install. Will keep the black for collectable value.
any one else out there do the same?
Also, any one know if the Stage 3 front side splitters are available and do they just bolt on after removing the stage 2 ones?
Thanks
Just added Chrome Z06 Wheels..

I haven't seen one with chrome wheels on it yet, definitely post pictures if you do that.
The Stage 3 side splitters are available and are a pretty easy add-on. There were some for sale in the for sale section a little while back, take a peek. If not, they can be purchased individually.
Will update the registry with your info in a bit. What city/state should it be listed as (just to be sure)? If you have a copy of the original window sticker, it would be good to know the options that show on the sticker, I don't have that info for that car so I can update it accordingly, right now I have the calculated MSRP at $101,200 based on what you provided above, so I'm clearly missing some stuff (-$2,520).

Purchased it for $77,700 with a great trade in on my 2008 Z06.
The owner traded it in after 6 months for another Ferrari. I don't know why he did not keep it other than he has a number of Ferraris.
Original it was sold at Van Chevrolet in Scottsdale, AZ
Base price was $69450
3LT was $9745.00
Z07 Package was $7995
Grand Sport CE was $4995
CF Package was $3995
CF Rear spoiler was $2520
Auto was $1725
Vehicle cover was $1205
CF Tonneu insert were $995
Battery $100
Options on Sticker totaled 33,275
Destination charge if $995.
Total $103,720

So that was showing in the registry as being sold by Scottsdale Ferrari, they had it listed for $78,750. If you're open to sharing, would be interesting to know what it finally sold for :-) Also, any info as to why the original owner got out of it so quickly?

Canadian Collector # 726
Official delivery date for # 726 is 07/31 for myself ...so many thumbs up on this car when riding ...that blue tension interior color is so special and the fact that it is once in a life time offer makes that car a real true Collector item in a futur of self driving cars ..hybrid..electric cars ...boring start/stop cars ...

Just bought my CE. #566. I'm in love, but don't tell my wife. This is my dream car, and I finally achieved it. I've had it for a week, I love the color combination and its uniqueness. I get looks, thumbs up, horn honks, and people stopping to take pictures everywhere I go. I'll post pics soon.

I agree. Could have also put tension blue on the "corvette" etched in the brake calipers and it would have popped. I'm considering looking into doing this on mine.
