Chevrolet
Corvette Centennial Edition (ZLC) (2012)

Why it matters

The 2012 Centennial Edition celebrated Chevrolet's hundredth birthday. Unlike most Corvette editions it was offered on every model, including the Z06 and ZR1, which makes it a package rather than a single model.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The Centennial Edition was applied to 2,201 of the 11,647 Corvettes built for 2012, the fewest since 1961. The package consisted of Carbon Flash Metallic paint, satin-black wheels, red brake calipers, Louis Chevrolet badges and a red-stitched suede interior.
