Rarity?
Edit***; My question was is there a way to get actual production numbers? As originally stated....just thought it was cool.
Not is it worth more...
I recently bought my first Vette. My son and I took a road trip to get it. During the 10hr drive home, (After discussing the time it took to find the colors and options etc.) my son entered all the details of the car into chat gpt. It said it was a 1 out of 1.6 total production.
It would be kinda cool for it to be the only one....but is there a way to get the actual rarity numbers?
Here are the details,
2015 C7- A8, Z51, 3LT, MSRC, NPP, Carbon flash badges, black wheels, red calipers, night race blue, Brownstone interior
Thanks

Chat GPT is wrong. Only about 200,000 C7s were produced. Based on the dozens of options it's possible, but not likely, you could have a "one of a kind" because yours came with an extra sticker or thingy that no one else bought. In the grand scheme of things though, it's probably not going to add any value and in the end these cars are a dime a dozen.

I forgot where I saw/read this but my car was one of 120ish 2015 convertible manuals in DSOM with machined wheels (oddly it was the wheel option that narrowed it down.
I'd love to break it down by Z51, etc.

For 2015 model year:
892 night race blue stingray coupes.
154 brownstone leather interiors total for all exterior colours.
116 brownstone suede interior total on all exterior colours.
brownstone was only available on 3 LT.
So it's not the colours or interior,,,Maybe it's the red callipers with NRB.

I'll take a dozen then.]
Yeah, I've seen on car shows where just the fact that only so many cars had the 429 with power windows or whatever made them rare
Not sure just curious. I know I can't find many night race brownstone C7's regardless of other options like Z51,3lt etc. in a Google search.

2015 Corvette model year crosstable shows only 57 NRB with Brownstone interior were produced.
No idea how to cross reference for all the other options like Z51, etc.
I think I found this back in 2016 through the Corvette Action Center, but can't remember for sure.
I can mail anyone a copy of the breakdowns if interested.
Link below to Corvette Action Ctr. does show alot of information including the color crosstable of exterior/interior colors (which I copied years ago).

I don't plan on selling so it's really just a cool thing to know.
I imagine if I did list it for sale it would bring a bit of a premium over others.... just like I paid to buy it myself.

As mentioned in OP.....my son was just checking options and such when he read it was somewhat rare.

If yours is rare because it has machined face wheels, that is something I suspect that most people would not find desirable (I know I would not want it). So that makes it worth less at resale. Imagine something a little more obvious - lets say you wanted purple seat belts. You like it but most other people would not so it makes your car rare because hardly anyone ordered it that way. Since very few wanted it when ordering a new car, very few also want it when the car is up for resale, which makes it worth less in the resale market. And no, purple seat belts were not an option, I am just using that as an example. GM tends to not offer things that are too extreme.

I had a "Real" one of a kind Corvette. It was a 1995 Convertible with a Performance Rear End. It was listed on the Window Sticker. There was only one made that year. That was a nice option.
When, I sold it, no one cared.

An acquaintance bought a 1 yr only, baby **** brown Corvette, and brags about it's rarity.
According to on line sources, the color was so ugly that dealers and customers didn't want it.
So, yea, rarity doesn't always increase price, or interest.
