New, never driven ZR1
I buy parts from a wrecking yard owner at his house. With a day's
notice, the parts are waiting on the front step and I give the check to his wife on my way home from work. Yesterday, I drove up in my '91 C4. "Is that a ZR1?" she asked. "No, I wish." "We have one here in the garage. It has 74 miles on it." ?!?!??!! Turns out, they bought it as an investment, hauled it home on a roll back, and put it in the garage where it's sat ever since. It has one test drive at the dealer on it. Unbelievable! -rev |

I certainly hope they don't work in the field of investment counseling for the public. PFFFFTTTTT The Reverend Natural Light wrote: >I buy parts from a wrecking yard owner at his house.

That's just sad way to own a 'vette.

> > Yesterday, I drove up in my '91 C4. "Is that a ZR1?" she asked. "No, > I wish." > > "We have one here in the garage. It has 74 miles on it." > Sad but true. Of the 6939 ZR1's produced between 1990 and 1995 a little over half have been accounted for. More than a few have met their untimely demise, either on the race track or on the street. There's pictures of at least 6 wrecked ZR1's at www.wreckedexotics.com, The rest remain hidden away in storage, awaiting the day when they bring as big a return for their owners as a '69 ZL1 or an unmolested L88 coupe. Which isn't likely to happen anytime soon. There were also 84 "Evaluation" pre-production ZR1's made in 1989. Most were probably returned to GM to be crushed, however a few (unknown exactly how many) were spared and still exist today. There are also a small handful, maybe as many as a dozen or so pre-production mules and test cars that somehow escaped the crusher. Not to mention the 3 or 4 that were crushed and left to rot in a field somewhere near the Lotus production facility in Norfolk England that were discovered by Corvette/ZR1 enthusiasts and revived/restored. These cars will probably be worth quite a lot sometime in the future. TomC '90ZR1 #792 |

If you every see a ZR1 catch a true L88 value our date will start out as Three Thousand and whatever. You're doing what the ZR1 was built to do, be driven for the fun of driving a great car, not sit in a garage collecting dust and very little added value. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd |
