New C8 Corvette Reference Book
I have a couple of this guy’s Corvette production books and I just bought his C8 book. I’m a numbers guy and I love it. Has a lot info that I did not know about the mid engine Vette. Much more production figures than any other Corvette book. A good source for any C8 owner. I got the link:

The parsing of options to make a car they have built over 100k of to call it"rare" will never cease to make me laugh. It's so bizarre. The whole point of corvettes is they are not rare and somewhat regular people can afford them.

This regular guy must have missed the point. Man, he got taken for this not rare $247,500.00 Corvette.

Looks like a good reference book. I think I will look into the C7 version.

That's the point, a car with an option like a Fuelie...is special.
Billy Ray with a Torch Red Stingray built with some random collection of options doesn't make it rare.

But only one of 2,000 C8's will be built on a February 29 leap year day because it was a Saturday in 2020... so those are rare...

Hi Everyone - here's a key link the Second Edition of the Corvette Black Book 1953-2023, 70 Year Legacy Edition: The Official Site Of The Corvette Black Book - Since 1978, The Genuine Corvette Black Book. It mentions that a 2024 Edition is not planned at this time.

Yeah, I don't get the options thing either.
There's really only 3 things about a C8 that could remotely be used to classify "rarity" within any one production variant:
HTC or Coupe
Exterior color
Interior
If you start trying to classify your rarity based on seat belts, calipers and wheels--you are a douchecanoe.
