Rarest option code
Just because something is rare doesn't imbibe it with increased value. Like I said, the fact that there are few could very well mean a lack of popularity. The rarest "option code" is unlikely to become more popular in subsequent years--especially if they no longer make it.

Like the plaque says, they only made 500 Premiere Edition Coupes. There were 550 Premiere Edition Convertibles, I believe, but I wouldn't say the made "1050 Premiere Editions" simply because they're not labeled as such. E.g., you don't have #125/1050, do you? And as for so-called "exclusivity" I find that it's a silly distinction altogether, because what makes it exclusive is completely up to the person claiming it. I have #1 of #1 of this tissue "art" that i just made here. How's that for exclusivity!

edit: Sorry, I'm too slow to reply. ^ that was meant for lisa.
Those NCM badges are pretty cool, but like the Corvette luggage that came with my car, they often don't make it into the 2nd owner's hands. Not that it's a bad thing, that badge is a nice piece of memorabilia if you ever get rid of the Corvette.
Mine came with a center console badge that says
And my VIN backs it up.
Sure, but, the only folks who will have historical interest are those who know such thing existed.
Consider this, in 1966, there were over 600,000 Mustangs made, in fact this was the best selling year for the Mustang, ever. Various special editions and trim packages were offered, notably the Shelbys. One, however, is considered one of the rarest, and most recognized names: the Hertz Rent-a-Racer Shelby. You see this car at a car show, and you say wow, that's a rare one. People know it by name, know the story. That hertz black-and-gold scheme has become key and even made it today's Mustang paint options. In every sense of the word, the Hertz Rent-a-Racer Shelby has huge historic interest. 999 of these cars were produced.
Sitting next to this car, at the car show, is another 1966 Mustang: the Mustang High Country Special. Not a Shelby, not a fastback, but still a beautiful car. Custom paint color and decorative badge and a few other trim improvements. It doesn't gather near the attention that the Hertz-rent-a-racer does, for better or for worse. 333 of these cars were produced.
Tell me, honestly, which one of these cars would you consider more historically interesting? Quick poll, who has heard of the Hertz Rent-a-Racer Mustang? Who has heard of the unarguably rare-er High Country Special Mustang?
Yep, mine matches the VIN# as well, and the NCM badge comment was meant for tarepas, i just am too slow at replying to the person that my reply gets lost... whatever, i suck at foruming.... My point is, even though they made 500 (in my case) 550 (in yours) of them, it does have a badge and a vin # to go with it. Certainly not as rare, but perhaps worth more so-called "historical interest" in the future. Or people may forget about it completely while the Arctic Edition or whatever becomes the well known rare one.

The Best of Corvette for Corvette Enthusiasts



After that I've been all about the numbers lol.
following week my buddy picked up a 1 of 27 in white.
both are only which are two of only 43 Z06 coupes with twilight blue design package.built. mine being shark gray it'll be 1 of 8 forever. Obviously white will always continue. It is timeless. But I wanted a "color" car this time around.
makes for good conversation especially when people see the wheels amongst a sea of black Z06 wheels with some silver, chrome, and spectra gray sprinkled in. Then a look inside and their eyes go wide for the sea of blue. Spice red and twilight blue are such nice hues.
