Purchased #927 three months ago new from the local dealer in Joplin Missouri. Sixth corvette owned, first C7. Now just trying to rack up 500 miles on her so I can change the oil and start to have some real fun!
Is Joplin Missouri where the car is located now?
Just need city / state for the registry.
Car #927, 1 of the final 14 coupes built (all of the final 14 were coupes, 926 was the last vert).

I had #452 delivered from Raymond Chevrolet in Antioch, Illinois to my house in Victoria, Texas this last Friday. A8, carbon flash spoilers, black calipers, dual roofs, was brand new with 9 miles. Totally different ride than my 2007 ZO6. Touring mode is so much smoother. Still getting to know her and need to sit down with the manual and learn all of the features, especially the steering wheel controls but it's definitely an amazing car. Only driven her once as I've been working OT.
Window tint and a paint correction and ceramic coat and clear film protection soon and already have the Range technology unit.
Just confirming the info below.
I have all of the rest of the data coming my way, by next month I should have the registry updated with the complete order details so you will be able to look at the factory ordered configuration for all cars.
I'll be able to tell anyone that asks how many GSCE's were made like there or any other statistical info you're interested in like that.
This should be the most complete registry of its kind, will be nice!

Well, that data is starting to come in, I'll post when it is all good.
Already seeing some interesting stuff though. Saw one of the few cars that was ordered with red calipers also had red seat belts....
Starting to see some photos from the photo shoot that my car was in. The shop that did my XPel wrap brought in a fairly well know professional car photographer to shoot some promo stuff. Will be neat to see how they use the photos. Here's a preview of some of them.
ANYBODY AUTOX THEIR GSCE YET?
did this week and need better rubber than sport cup 2's.
thoughts??
Found out the person I was referring to, has car #115, not on the registry yet. Does ProSolo stuff, took 1st place in a recent event. Does have the Z07 package, manual trans. Here's a video of a run from this last weekend... If you click on the publisher's name you'll see a few other videos posted.
Here's your first peek at the data after getting all of it entered into a spreadsheet. I still have some work to do before I try to put this into the online registry, but thought I'd give you a peek.... If there's some sort of data insight you're looking for, let me know....
Convertible M7's were definitely the rarest of the bunch with just 27 produced (that data was published by GM already). Of those 27, only 7 had the Z07 package....so that is a very rare combo.
I'll add that I'd call this data 99% accurate. I scanned this data from paper and some was manually entered, so there is an opportunity for some errors.
The detailed order info for all options has been put into the sheet and I've updated the Statistics - Configuration charts to reflect those changes.
I still need to add some new charts to the Statistics page, but at least the current ones are updated based on the new data.
I made some other changes too. I added total counts to each option and some of the other headings on the registry page (see the image below) so as you're looking at that page you can easily tell how many of that option were ordered. This was info that was on a different tab in the spreadsheet, which I've deleted since it is not needed anymore.
For now though, you can look at all the order info yourself. It also shows a few other options that weren't listed before, like the luggage set and the carbon fiber center caps.
And the prize for the most expensive GSCE (based on configuration / options) goes to car #216 - $106,835. This beats out car #001 by just a hair. It has a ton of options on it, almost easier to say what it doesn't have! You can see the various top optioned cars by model / transmission below. It's also on the Statistics - Configuration tab of the spreadsheet.
Common themes across these cars:
- Z07 Package
- Competition Seats
- Visible Carbon Fiber Ground Effects
- And all but one had the really nice Visible Carbon Fiber Stage 2 rear spoiler.
Correction. Most expensive one is #001 at $110,830
I missed a unique option that only 3 cars had. #001, #002 and #006 all had the PIN option, which is a user selected VIN ending. $5,000 for that option....puts #001 over the top.

Now...why would you pay extra for a unique vin if you were already getting car #001, which would get #001 by default in a numbered series of cars?
