With 256 of those being collectors editions right now, the collectors edition is going to be the largest percentage of the group. Currently the numbers by colour are:

Panther Black: 256 (collectors)
Black: 187 (includes 1 - 1LE)
Nitro Yellow: 8
Radiant Red: 65
Red Hot: 42 (includes 1 - 1LE)
Riptide Blue: 35 (includes 1 Garage56 Edition)
Riverside Blue: 39
Sharkskin Grey: 111
Summit White: 87
Vivid Orange: 46


With the help of radiator, I plan to at the end of the build period get together a list of the different packages. Colour/body style/Transmission. Most of these colours are all more rare than the collectors edition it self, so its really just a badging and cosmetic "status" vs a limited build when comparing to these other schemes. I understand its a "collectors edition" and will always hold that name, but when the collectors edition is the most produced "colour/badging combo" of the trim level for that year, how "collectible" really is it vs the other combos? They are all as collectible in my opinion. Whats everyone's thoughts? Again not taking anything away from it, but 30 years from now what do you think will happen value wise?

**As discussed in this thread, the rarest packages for this model year will be the few 1LE's that get built, and the Garage56 edition. Will monitor those as well. Bumbleboy has already started on that as well in the sticky thread for collectors edition numbers**




Currently for my car, there are 65, 14 of those are a coupe with the manual. Of those 14 only 6 have PDR, and of those 6, only 2 have BCD, mine being one of them. 1/2 currently, and will be cool to have this information 30 years from now. Kind of what you hear now a days that there was only 65 of a certain colour 69 Camaro built way back when.

From a collector's standpoint, your math is not how that works. The Panther edition will be compared to ALL models year 6th Gen ZL1s by color and package. Therefore, it is the rarest of them all, but no one cares because its a weak package anyway.
