This being the 1st generation to go mid engine, having a low number, and high trim that isn't ridiculous, might make it a collectors item one day. How much a collector would jizz in their pants to have #2 in their stable and 40 years later show it off to people and be like yeah, I have #2 of the first ever mid engine Corvettes.
A low VIN means something if they were done in sequential order to match the build. I'm not sure how much value it really adds if it really doesn't represent anything other than I was able to purchase a number I wanted. Of course, these cars are all low VINs anyway so not sure how much it matters.
