Let's be real. Rare in the automotive world is just a nice way of saying that nobody really wanted that combination.

That's why no one will buy a vehicle at Barrett-Jackson auctions?

What about the Mid West Edition of which they produce none. Now that is a rare beast.

My car looks just like yours. It's Long Beach Red. It has a Kalahari interior. It has red calipers. It's a convertible. It was picked up at the NCM. If someone saw our two cars parked side by side they'd say, "Hey, look, two Corvettes that look alike." There are, apparently, some esoteric details that are different. Why do you think your car deserves a sticky when there are so any stickies already is a mystery. Your car, sir, is not that special.

On a mass produced car, let's say, 5,000 were made with a standard engine, and only one car had a different engine other than the standard offered, like installed as a fluke at the factory. Now that would be a rare one of a kind car. Use the same analogy on an interior, a combination of 5,000 red, black, gray, tan interiors offered, and only one blue interior made, that would be rare.

I actually have a letter from GM establishing my car as a one of one. No need for a sticky thanks
