The bottom line is that with nearly 180,000 C7s made, very few are actually "rare" and fewer still are worth any more because of rarity.

I really like my C7 with red calipers. But ive never thought of it as being rare. OP confirmed this. I just like to drive it and track it.

I would have guessed red was the most common of any caliper on any car

If I had know how rare the red calipers were I would have raised my price a couple grand.

I noticed that too, should be 9686 produced in 2018.

I tend to follow the Mike Antonick's series of Black books.

NO-NO-NO!!

Yes, 9686 Corvettes were produced in 2018, but please go back to my first sentence in post #1, pasted here for your reading pleasure -
