C5 commemorative ZO6

[Rich G.]

How many of these were made for the 2004 model year? I heard a number today, but it sounded low, since the local dealer has 5 of them unsold.

Rich:

The number was given on a post in the Corvette Action Center forum.

Re: C5 commemorative ZO6

FINAL Z16-Z18 numbers are in. Members, check out the numbers by country for the Z16 and Z18 Commemorative production of Corvettes for model year 2004. There were a total of 2,025 Z16s and Z18 Commemorative Editions built. The United States received 1,935 of which all are Z06-Z16s. Canada had 86 Z06-Z16s shipped to them. Mexico had only four Z06-Z16s pushed over the border. Of course the last 2004 Commemorative Coupe Z15 (JOB # 38840) will come off the line on Thursday, July 1, 2004.

But the rarest of all Commemorative Edition Z18s which are Coupes were shipped to Europe.

These 45 Coupes are VERY RARE and in fact will end up being the RAREST of all Commemorative Edition Corvettes. All forty-five Z18s were 6-Speeds with a very unique Z06 type suspension including the Z06s Nuremburg inspired shocks as part of its unique performance package. This rare Z18 package included the carbon fiber hood found on the Z06-Z16s along with its very special Commemorative Edition stripes which are unique to these forty-five C5s as the roof and hatch decal is of a different length compared to the Z06-Z16. This package also included the standard high polished wheels off of the Commemorative Coupe and Convertible packages, but the tires are of a non-run flat design created for Europe. All Z18s came with Z06s Red Brake Calipers front and rear and had the LS1 engine installed in them.

Thanks very much. Those were the numbers (approx) that I heard. I thought it was strange that one dealer would have 5 of them left when so few were made.

Re: C5 commemorative ZO6

Rich,

but Gary's numbers don't seem to add up. As I read them, he is giving numbers that account for Z06's only. As we all have likely noted, there are a LOT of the coupes and convertibles with the Commemorative option. I had heard that LeMans Blue was the #1 color in 2004 due to the CE. That would make far more than 2000 or so cars.

Re: C5 commemorative ZO6

The question is "How many Z06s
But:---
19U Blue (Total=6899) (Coupes=2215) (Fixed Roofs=2025)(Convertibles=2659)
