View Full Version : Morrison #99 Car
Blue Flame Restorations
02-20-2010, 12:31 AM
Let me start out by saying that I am working a deal on a special ZR1. For that reason alone, I am considering selling my 1990 World Challenge Tommy Morrison #99 car. The #99 car was a third team car for Morrison.
John Heinricy was driving this car when it collided with a Porsche. This ended it's career.
I purchased this car with the intent of restoring it and really like it. The car has been repaired and is ready for paint work. I have purchased a 1990 six speed coupe that actually is a pretty decent car. I drove it all last year. The donor car has everything needed to make the Morrison car come to life once again. This is a piece of GM Corvette racing history and will be awesome in it's Mobil 1 livery. I have patterns for all of the decals used on the car's Mobil 1 sponsorhip as well.
I also have a Challenge VET1806 short block, a set of Dymags for the Morrison car as well as four 315 track tires.
I am gauging interest at the moment and will accept offers > $20k for the whole package.
If interested, please email me for information.
Thanks

So what in your eyes would be needed to finish this project?
do you have all the historical photos of what the car looked like in race trim?
what was your plan to replace the decals?
Very interesting project
and what is the value of one of these restored any ideas?

The donor car has nearly everything to put the car back on the road. Still needs a race seat and fire supression system.
I have a few good pics of the car from when raced.
I have the correct decals ready for duplication by a local vendor. Also have a fully restored aet of Dymags for the car as well.
Projected value finished - around $50k.

Well, I may have a deal on the Morrison car. If not, no biggie. I'd really like to restore it and enjoy some loud exhaust and a few hot laps anyway.
It'll be nice to meet Morrison and John Heinricy at BG in May so I can learn more about this car.

It looks like I'll be keeping it anyway. It's a big part of GM Development/Morrison racing history. It's sister cars, #97 & #98 have been valued at $50k+, so I have no problem keeping it for the future.
When it's done, it will be so awesome in it's Morrison livery.
I was just trying to drum up some more $$ for a ZR1.

Good decision -- Plenty of time to save and find a bargain ZR-1 in this economy.
I do not see a fast climb out of this predicament we are in now.
ZR-1 deals will be around for quite some time in future.

Yea. I really do like it. I bought it right and want to drive it someday. That Mobil1 livery is one of the best, IMO.
NOTE: If you look at your 91 ZR1 owner's packet VHS tape, you'll see this car on the track running for a brief moment. Cool!

Here we go again.....I found a Quazar Blue 90. I'll sell the Morrison car for $18.5k for the package of the Morrison car and the donor car. If the ZR1 sells in the interim, my car will no longer be for sale at this price.

I will let Blue be the voice of reason on this one. Normally when I make decisions like this, it will come back to bit me in the ***. If he thinks it is ok to tell the story, I will. I bow to the old guy with more wisdom than I have on many different topics.

Anyone want a two car package? Own a piece of GM racing history AND the car in the 1991 VHS tape given to new ZR1 owners! Look at your tape for a glimpse of the 99 car in action!!

No. The 24 hr record car is on display at the NCM. The white L98 car is MIA.
My car was the first 1990 #99 car. It is listed in the Registry of Corvette Race Cas. This is the sister car to the #97 and #98 Mobil1 cars.

Too many projects and customer cars to do already. If it doesn't sell, I'll finish the car and keep it. The Morrison cars and the Mobil1 livery are hard to beat.

I always enjoy reading that article from time to time. It certainly was the end of a great era in ZR-1 Corvette racing.
