My new to me 2009 GT1 Championship Edition

[Corvette GT1]

Here is my new toy, 13th Corvette so far and this time a very special one!
An extremely limited edition GT1 Championship inspired by the C6-R to commemorate in 2009 the 70 victories in the American Le Mans Series for the Corvette GT1 which continue to accumulate race victories today...
One of only 10 produced in the world, including 5 manual and 1 of 2 sold new in Canada.

1 of 10 that's pretty cool. Aside from decals, what's different from a base C6?

Congratulations very nice looking and rare Corvette.

They have a special numbered VIN, GT1 and Punisher logo on the seats and they are all 4LT / Z51 cars and a few other differences...

Great looking car to be sure. The pricing for the convertible was $71,915 compared to a base convertible at $52,550.
According to the Corvette Black Book, the yellow GT1 were VIN 1G1YG26E2953000001 thru 1G1YG26E2953000077
and the Black GT1 were VIN 1G1YG26E995400001 thru 1G1YG26W195400048
6th digit is 2 for coupe, Z06 and ZR1. Digit 3 is for convertible.
8th Digit is W for LS3. E is for LS7. R is For LS9
To honor the Corvette C6R racer, a GT1 Championship Edition was offered. Exteriors were yellow or black to match the CR6 livery. Unique ebony leather wrapped interiors had yellow stitching with GT1 and Jake logos. Sales of 125 were 53 coupes, 17 convertibles and 55 Z06.
The book does not however stipulate how many were black or yellow in either coupe, convertible or Z06, nor does it differentiate the number between manual or automatic for the coupe or convertible. It appears by the VIN numbers, that 48 were black, and 77 were yellow, which means that coupe, and Z06 had 60 produced in yellow. I would think that a yellow Z06 would be the rarest yellow produced, as most Z06 are Black.

Side by side I'd think it was a hertz rental. $20k extra wow.

Exactly, mine is 3000043 and a Canadian car!

You might want to contact the GM Heritage Center in Michigan, to see what stats they have for your car. I understand they go back to 1977 for Corvettes so they should be able to answer your question:

GM Heritage Center
6400 Center Drive
Sterling Heights, MI 48312

email: [email protected]

586-932-5718 Phone
586-932-5727 Fax

And frankmp beat me to the punch (see above) however when I dealt with the GM Heritage Center, they had detailed stats on my 2020 C8 such as how many cars were manufactured with specific options, including (in my case) the type of interior. I don't know your car but maybe (?) they'd have more details for you?
