Gives you a visual representation of other GSCE's that may be near you. Used to be mostly unsold GSCE's, but most of them are now sold of course.
How many 2017 Grand Sport Collector Edition owners are there on this forum? Post your information to be added to the registry!
When posting information about yours, please include:
Your city/state, series number. If you can post a picture of your car I'll add a link for that as well. If you purchased used, knowing what you paid for it will help us track depreciation, if you want to share privately please PM the information to me. And please check to see if there is any incorrect information about your vehicle that you'd like to share.
If you see used ones for sale, please post any info you can. The VIN on the windshield will identify the series number.

GM projected that 1,000 total would be made, 850 destined for the US market.
Final production numbers show 935 made with 793 delivered to the US market. Details on the production numbers are listed below.
Cars #246-250 were never produced due to production issues, so the final Collector Edition car is actually #940.
#0001 sold at 2016 Barrett-Jackson Auction for $170,000 (charity auction benefiting Karmanos Cancer Institute). Sold to David Flynn who also owns the first retail Cadillac ATS. reference link This was also the one that was shown at the Geneva AutoShow in 2016 when the Grand Sport was officially announced. The dash plaque serial number can be seen in the video below at the 1:00 mark. NOTE: The car shown in the video from Geneva and in the auction photos is actually a prototype vehicle and not the first production VIN GSCE. The first production GSCE was a Convertible, please read this post for more details.
The prototype vehicle shown at Geneva and in other locations was actually built using a 2015 2LT Stingray experimental VIN vehicle (please read the post linked in item 10 above for more details). There are two notable differences that have been spotted in that car compared to the production vehicles.
The dash badge shows the sequence number as 0001/1000. The production ones show just the sequence number
Final car was #940, museum delivered on June 12, 2017.
GM PRODUCTION NUMBERS
GM published production numbers after the 2017 model year production wrapped up. The registry spreadsheet (linked below) breaks down the numbers in a few more combinations if interested.
Instead of 1,000 total with 850 in the US market; 935 were made with 793 delivered in the US.
REGISTRY
I started listing all of them here in this post, including ones that I've found for sale at various dealers as it may be helpful for someone that is looking to purchase one of these to find a sequence number they want or specific options. The list though makes this original post a little long and it will only get longer. So I decided to put it into a Google Sheet that anyone should be able to view and comment on. If you need one added, post on this thread or enter a comment, this way I can control the formatting. Please let me know if you have any issues accessing the Google Sheet.
I've set up filters on the sheet so it can be sorted/viewed in different ways. Look for the filter icon up in the top left and it will give you some choices of views.

The CE registry's has my wrong town on it. Number 413 lives in New Braunfels TX 78132. Just want to keep the registry clean. Thanks Jeffrey Fry
Ok I just pick up my CE this weekend, and as I was driving back to Texas I was wondering if anyone had added anything to theirs to change it up any, so if you have done any mods can you post pics of them so we can see how it looks. Thanks

I added the stage 3 rear center piece on spoiler, added stage 3 front canards, tinted the reflectors all around, replaced the "red" sport on the side vents and door sills with tension blue, full underhood custom airbrushed engine items, and installed a custom painted Vararam intake. I live in Charlotte and there are like, 2 or 3 other CE's running around which is insane to me considering they only made a limited amount.
Congrats on the AutoFair Best of Show! Back in fall 2003 I won a Best of Show with a 2002 Firehawk, and it was a blast. I haven't been on awards day in a long time, do they still do the red carpet introductions of each winner?

I know there are a ton of posts in this thread. Been starting to work on a revision of the first post that will contain links to various parts in the massive thread, but there are a lot of mods already listed, including ones already posted. Just takes some time to search through the thread. A few things come to mind that I have seen posted:
Underhood mods (custom painting of various parts under the hood)
Powder coat brake calipers blue
Change the red portion of the Grand Sport logo to blue (side of car and door sills)
Blue rings on rims (wheel protectors or pin stripe)
Black out side marker lights/reflectors
Window tinting
Paint Protection Film (PPF - XPel is one brand)
Replace brake pads with ones that have less dust
Ground effects (move to stage 2 or 3 style - and/or exposed carbon fiber)
Steering wheel upgrades (some custom ones out there)
List goes on....
A lot of this depends on what you like and what you want to do of course. Lots of great info in this thread as well as in other parts of the forums. If you think of it, then it's likely someone has done it and you can find pictures to validate your thoughts :-)
serial #0008
Denver, N.C.
from Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet , Charlotte N.C.
coupe , A8, forum member
wheels have blue stripe to accent
stage 2 splitter and side rockers
personal license tag is TENSION8
Where did you get the stripe from and is the color a different name?
Bill and some others have had the stripe on the wheel done by a local pin stripe person. Any reasonably good pin stripe person could do it for relatively cheap it seems. There's a blue many of them have that is really close, one I've heard is called Process Blue but depending on their selection they should be able to find something very close.
There are some snap on rings you can get in blue that others have used, I've heard mixed reviews on them, have not seen them first hand.

I don't see mine on the map but you got it on the registry. It is 384. I bought it in Bridgewater, NJ. I live in Belle Mead, NJ however.

The map is based on how it was listed, so it was sitting over in Bridgewater on the map. I've updated it, so it now shows in Belle Mead.
BTW, Belle Mead is where my uncle lived, he served as the Mayor of Montgomery Township a ways back. Have had many trips to that nice area over the years....

Unfortunately he passed a little while back. His wife still lives there and my Dad & their older brother were all born/raised in Plainfield, so there are occasions that I do get out there, but its a little more rare these days. It is one nice thing about the map, I do take a peek at it when I travel to see if there are any owners in the area to hook up with!

My condolences.
Yes it is actually a very cool thing to have. Almost like we now have an extended family...
Had the windows tinted and a paint correction and a ceramic coating. Detailer had some pics taken. Still not broken in yet but I'm getting close. Just a joy to drive even below 3500 RPM's.
