Anybody know the history of this torch red Z06 with Canada-RPO?

I´m trying to dig up some of the history of my 2001 Z06, as I only know the owners from 2005 where it was imported to Sweden. It is one of the 54 torch red Z06´s with the Z49-RPO for Canada and has the red/black interior. Besides the stripes I believe it was not modified in any way in these years - so it was all OEM. The picture is from 2013 when I got it - but it would have looked the same back then in the US (except for the Swedish repeater turn signals).

The time line that I do know:

• It was ordered and delivered to Trois-Rivieres Chevrolet in Quebec in november 2000, and registred to one owner in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec (maybe the dealer?).
• It was sold and imported to the US with only 2,852 miles in september 2001 and registred to a new owner around Somerville, Massachusetts.
• It was sold to at dealer in juli 2002 with 6,764 miles, and registred to a new owner around Taunton, Massachusetts in august 2002 with only 6,901 miles.
• It had some sort of accident or incident (unspecified at carfax) in october 2003 (reading 22,678 miles). Dont think it was anything serious, as the frame is untouched, the built sheet still in the front bar, has the OEM body panels with the factory decal from 2000 - so it must have been something minor. I think the black stripes was added at this time, as the cover a minor surface damage on the hood and roof (see pictures later in thread).
• It was sold to a dealer in Amityville, NY in april 2005 reading 37,191 miles and transfered to Pennsylvania in may 2005, where it was sold on auto auction in june 2005 and imported to Sweden.

I hope somebody can recognize it - as I suppose not that many TR Z06´s with the Z49-RPO was imported back to the US shortly after production?

I´ve inserted a picture of the glove box decal.

Please chime in if anybody can help finding any information about its history from built date to export in 2005 (previous owners or anything else related to the car).

Hope some of you can help
