Window Stickers: 2007 and 2008 Platinum Edition XLRs

[Rob]

Does anyone have a window sticker from a 2007 or 2008 Platinum Edition XLR that they could post here so I could take a look at it for the XLR Registry??

Thanks,

-Rob

Sorry, I can not help there. Just a question. I know you are working on some sort of XLR resource site that sounds awesome. I have often wondered if there is a break down of the various colors offered in the different years. I know if you go to the model centre here it has the various years but no side by side type of listing and no colour samples ets. Just wondering.

Yes, I'm working on an official Cadillac XLR Registry which will be part of this site. It is very similar to the ZR1 Registry I build on the Corvette Action Center which you can see here:

Corvette Action Center | Tech Center | Research Center | C6 Corvette Center | 2009 - 2013 Corvette ZR1 Registry

The XLR Registry is more in depth with much greater functionality and will provide more detailed data. Actually what I've learned building the XLR Registry here, I need to port over to the ZR1 Registry later on.

I do have more information that I'll be adding to the Model Center - after I release the Registry.

However, keep in mind that if you're looking for production numbers with various option combinations...such as how many 2004 Crimson Pearl with black interior and XM Satellite Radio were built - you won't find that information in the Model Center. GM doesn't keep detailed production records on option combinations.

That's where the value of the Registry comes in. The more XLRs I can get into the Registry, the more you *WILL* be able to get an idea how many XLRs were built with certain option combinations.

Sorry Rob, I can not help with what you need this time but I was wondering if there was some way to find out how many of the Star Black Limited Editions (mine is #165 and was saved from the wrecking yards) are still in service or how many have been destroyed ?
Tnx,

Not sure, but I'd love to know if there's a way to find out that information as well.

I can tell you that right now, there are only two Star Blacks in the Registry: your's and #10.

Larry,

No, but thank you. I actually have plenty of copies of 2004 - 2006 window stickers. What I really need are the following window stickers:

• 2007 base XLR
• 2007 Platinum Edition XLR
• 2007 Passion Red XLR
• 2008 base XLR
• 2008 Platinum Edition XLR
• 2008 XLR-V
• Any window sticker clearly showing the Weather Veil package.

Tnx Rob and I wish you the best of luck in your project.

Call the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. They have been able to help most XLR owners get a copy of the window sticker and in most cases, the original build sheet; unless the original owner had already requested it and didn't leave it with the vehicle when they sold or traded it.

Did I somehow miss instructions for how to add my XLR to the registry?

Nope. I've been building the XLR Registry for several months now. It's been taking me a while because I've been trying to get a grasp on colors, options and prices for the various models such as Passion red...XLR-Vs...etc. As I've been learning, I've been making changes to the database and re-programming the scripts that interact with the database.

So right now, the Registry is not live but I'm hoping to release it within the week. Stay tuned!!

Here is a photo of a 2008 V sticker. Probably not good enough to be published but good enough for reference info. I have scanned sections in .PSD format but have not been able to stitch the four sections together. You're welcome to them if you like. I also have done the same with the build sheet.

 

[Rob]

^^^^ Perfect! Thank you!

Tnx,

What's the story behind saving yours from the wrecking yards? Would love to know.

What's the story behind saving yours from the wrecking yards? Would love to know.

Around late 2006 or early 2007, with only 8,000 to 9,000 miles on her the #2 driver tried to make a right turn at high speed and hit a curb with the left front wheel and folded it under and totaled the left front fender, bumper, head light, hood, radiator, A/C condenser, left front suspension, coolant reservoir and everything was repainted to the original Limited Edition Star Black Metallic.

The car had full insurance coverage but was considered TOTALED by the insurance company even though the Air Bags DID NOT DEPLOY!

After the front of the car was rebuilt with all new genuine GM parts, (except for the left front headlight assembly which only needed the outside clear cover glued back on and the hood and radiator were replaced "V" parts) I purchased it on 12/13/2007 with 10,250 miles on it when it was delivered to my home.

And that's how I became the proud owner of this Fantastic Car!

 

[XLRATING]

That's a great story - thanks for sharing it & saving her! Plus you've definitely done a lot of neat mods with the car since then.

 

[05 GRAND DADDY]

Can't believe that they would of TOTALED IT! All well looks like it turned out good for you!!
