Well, my black '08 coupe is more rare than a black '09 coupe....yep, I'm really digging here
Same, seems a lot of dealers ordered without the LSD option, I think I got lucky the one I bought was custom ordered with every option and the to-be owner's insurance/financing didn't work out. As far as I know all the TCs and SCs at our meets have the LSD though at least I'm yet to hear someone say "nope I don't have it".

I just want to know if there are any other SRTM 2008 cobalts made in or before May 2008?... My build date falls somewhere in there... (1G1AP18X187316123 - could someone look up the exact date?)....
I think I am in the top 25 made but I am really curious to find out...
Oh, and there are only 126 SRTM for 2008 on the road now.... one was totalled over the summer...

These numbers partially explain why it took until YESTERDAY for me to spot an SS/TC coupe that wasn't sitting on the dealer's lot. As one can assume from the stats, it was black.

And to think the dealer said.. "And these Black Sedans are a rare find!" It's the MOST common SS Sedan!! LOL (Color me a fool.) Oh well, I love my car and I love the color.

Wow, I'm 1 of 40.
Build Date was sometime in the summer, probably June/July since I first spotted my baby on the dealer's lot in September.

I'm curious to know... I had a red 08 sport tint ordered from the factory. GM says it fell off the truck and they destroyed it and the VIN. Are they including that one in their count since it was actually built?

No, wasn't mine. I never even got to see the car. But the dealership had to scramble to find me one. They ended up flying me to Pheonix, and I drove it back to Albuquerque

It came with 125 miles on the car from GM, as it was stated the first few had to go to MI for some "testing" or something? I always wondered how many were built before mine...

1/179 for a production car is rare no mater how you look at. The car including all colors is rare, even the coupes. I have seen 3 ss/tc coupes and 0 ss/tc sedans. I am going to go look and see if I can find when my car was made. I am pretty sure it was mad like a week to a week and half before I bought it in October 08.

I had a '95 S-10 SS that I thought was relatively rare (5000 or so) but the TC's are just plain scarce. Before I bought my Blackmobile had my eye on an '08 Imperial Blue listed for $17,500 but it was gone quick-no wonder I don't see many,lol.(It was one of the "wind damaged" batch as well).
Hang on to your OEM parts boys+girls(unless of course I need one)
