Vin decoder, tells you if you have any rare options, saw it on the Callaway forum:

Thanks LGAFF, I find this info very interesting. My 1994 ZR1 comes right up. I found out that it is one of 4 with the exact options that I have and one of 9 with at least as many options.
My 1990 ZR1 is not in the data base. I would have liked to find out more info about the 1990. It said that I should check back later on the 1990 so I will. I have booked marked the page.

Make sure the VIN is typed in correct, I ran Bob HDZs #88 as it has an emissions exemption sticker on the hood. Only thing different from my 90 was that it had RPO option 1AA, no info on that however. 705 had RPO 1AA.

Neat website Lee.

My 1993 Quasar Blue/Black is 1 of 2.

My 1994 Yellow/Grey is 1 of 1.

My 94 is showing up as 1 of 4. I'm a little suspect of the rarity assessment, but if its true I just went from 1 of 448 to 1 of 4. The resale value has gone up 112 times :-D

I am not sure where they are coming up with the drill down info at the end...my 92 showed as a 1 of 2.

:sign10: Me Too! It's black over gray, one of 16 thousand & Production Date = unknown!....I think the only thing more common is the red with saddle?:dontknow:

Clearly, something is fishy here... My '91 Red/Saddle came up as 1 of 3. And there's some inconsistencies in the data -- look at this bit of data - apparently, not all cars with cognac (saddle) seat belts, came with cognac leather?? Perhaps this is the Cloth seat issue, I guess cloth seats were still available through 92 or 93?

INTERIOR TRIM COLOR
INTERIOR TRIM,LIGHT DRIFTWOOD 1,932
603TRIM COMBINATION- LEATHER,COGNAC (603) 1,851
609SEAT BELT COLOR- COGNAC (609) 1,932

Also, Corvette Action Center's data indicates that over 5,000 Bright Red cars were made in 1991, this database says:

EXTERIOR COLOR,PRIMARY (81U)
EXTERIOR COLOR,PRIMARY,BRIGHT RED (81U)
3,881

They also state that only 2002 ZR-1s were produced in 1991, which I think we all acknowledge is not true.

So I'm not sure I believe it. :dontknow:

I saw the same thing. Too bad, says my car is 1 of 1....

I ran all the color combinations for 1992. The exterior color code totals match exactly to existing counts. Then I totaled each of the exterior/interior color combinations and they total up to the corresponding exterior color code count. So, all you '92 owner's who have been wondering, we now can tabulate exact counts for each interior/exterior color count.

The page I used is: http://www.compnine.com/rpocheck.php

Then I drilled down to 1992 corvette 2-doors and search for the appropriate codes. For example, for zr1,41u,143 gave me the count of black/gray zr-1's (1 of 18).

Thanks for the link. It's a neat tool. :notworthy

Thanks for rubbing it in Tom.............I have red with saddle. I guess I'll dig a hole in the ground and put my head in it. :frown:

[Jeffvette]

Yea right, red/red was rare.



There are 73 1990 CORVETTE 2 DR vehicles (0.456%) matching your exact options list. There are 112 (0.699%) with at least as many options.

:mrgreen: You're welcome Craig! :thumbsup:

Oh, btw, that hole? Let me help so I have some room in there also.... a 90 black over gray is as common as you know what!........but, we're the first in a series!:sign10:

:cheers:

Hey, when are you in DC? Not this weekend? The weather is gonna be sweet and I was gonna go wake up my playmate & go play!:redface:

Tom,

Believe it or not, I was looking for a black with grey and settled on this red/saddle only because of the price ($15K in 2003 so I could buy it cash). I always had black cars and my Honda Ridgeline daily driver is black. When I was buying my Z I knew even less than I know now so I did not research about the rarity and options or years..........just wanted a Z. Now I know and can advise others, but I love my Z now because of blood, sweat and tears......and a lot of cursing. :cheers:

I'll be in D.C. 24th to 31st of Jan and posted for the crew on another post. I hope to see you then.

This link to this website was posted on the ACE (Arizona Corvette Enthusiast) Forum a couple of weeks ago. The C5 and C6 folks were all over this and the consensus was it was not too accurate. The C6 folks were getting unbelievable low production numbers on common colors on cars. So I would treat the total and %'s that you get are rather dubious. GC

Your mileage may vary :dontknow:

[TAMMRICH]

I think I may have the rarest ZR1 option, no power passenger seat! I have never seen another ZR1 without it?
