Default 1 of 1

I received an email on Friday afternoon from the Library & Archives Dept. at the NCM informing me that the Corvette Assembly Plant has confirmed that my BRM 2017 Z06 LZ3 is a 1 of 1 for the 2017 production year. No other 2017 was produced with the same options that I ordered my car with. NCM said they will send me a Certification letter on NCM letterhead as to the authenticity of my 1 of 1 Corvette. Don't know if it makes it worth any additional money,... but I thought it was cool as hell.

It does not. But it is pretty cool to know that you'll never see another one on the road like yours......except the identical looking 2018's.

Not sure that will happen since they discontinued BRM paint at the end of the 2017 production run......I don't think they are making any 2018 in that color, but I could be wrong.

Aside from your own gratification, it's worth nothing more. This is particularly true of a mass produced car since it implies your option list was quite different than what the overwhelming majority of owners select.

She's a beauty though. Enjoy!

Love the color. Sometimes it looks blue, purple, black.....all depending on the way the light hits it.

OP. Congrats. Tjat makes your Z unique but highly doubt it's worth more than any other similarly equipped to the masses. But... to those few people that would pay a mint for your exact car if you can find them when they're ready to buy and you are ready to sell in other words, hitting the lottery probably similar odds lol.

cool none the less.

can you list the options curious as to what makes it 1 of 1 and where the break point is from masses?

she. My friend and I bought our Z06's we knew they were low number for the packages they had and colors. His arctic white is a 1 of 27 for 2016 unknown for 2017 yet.

mine 1 of 8 as shark gray and the twilight blue design werr only available one year (2016 and that's also the last year for shark gray). 43 total Z06 twilight blue design Z06 coupes total produced for 2016. Nimber unknown for 2017.

I like being in the numbers cool to know something rarely seen. Not always a good thing but in our cases it's cool

Your car.. I would like to know how many were exterior I terror with yellow calipers and those wheels? Then broken down further to the paddles and trim level. Etc.

Saw Mike Furman delivered a BRM Z06 Vert with gray top and 10 spoke blades. I net that's a 1 of 1 also... very cool.

100% that's why I get a kick out of where the break is.

say interior/exterior first. Then wheel choice color and trans. Then you get down to those easily changed over or added parts. Whereas original paint and interior color isn't that easy.
