1st "Barn Find" with ZR-1's?

[ZZZZZR1]

Have any Z's been barn finds yet?


The new owner found 7 ZR-1's and all in "decent" condition. The new owner has the LT5 Camaro and will bring it to BG for the 20th Anniversary of the ZR-1!

Here are some pictures of the Z's he found.

Are these in AZ by chance?

[scholtmj]

Wow, black/red and PG/black '90s! Rare!

Did the owner buy the place these were stored at or buy the contents of the "barn"?

[GOLDCYLON]

Every one of them. They all belong to my friend Fred. You should see his 91 Steel blue

There's another long time Corvette collector in AZ but I can't seem to remember his name. He has all years of Corvettes in all kinds of conditions.

He had a lot of early vettes sold those about 2 years ago.

Hes just a collector. He drives them once in a while. Im sure they are all avialable for the right price but thats Freds call. He has these cars all over his house, in the garage, side yard, back yard etc. The bottom kinda fell out on the prices on these. Hes the first guy I met in our ZR-1 world and he talked me into picking up my first Z. He is a really nice guy. If I had room in the stable Id buy one of his. The blue one he was doing so major work on its a 93 with a grey interior.

I can help with this as well.

[Cdn ZR1 95]

I'm confused!! Were these just acquired? Or are these a collector who doesn't seem to care about his collection?

Read post #14 However its seems from post #1 he sold the entire collection

[Cdn ZR1 95]

After looking at the pictures again I have a hard time calling the guy a collector. Pack rat maybe. There might be find in there for somebody but no excuse for 7 Z's being treated like that. I dope someone did buy them to save them!

Everybody has an opnion would be a little hard to store 7 at my house as well. Somebody must have made him a deal he could not refuse.

[jrd1990zr1]

What is the color of the one next to the red one in the 2nd picture? Is it a polo green or something else?? Looks like a 1990. I don't think I ever saw one that color before??? :occasion1

I cant wait for the story and more pics please

[tccrab]

Steel blue, very rare

Goldie, are you sure?
Have another look at the 2nd pic.
Looks pretty darn green to me.

Unfortunately the Steel Blue was sold....

[Polo-1]

Fred has my old Polo 92 car down there. He said it back on the road, just needs paint work.

It could be green, I cant tell all I know is the steel blue went with the sale. It looks more green on this computer monitor than my laptop screen.

[GOLDCYLON]

Confirmed all thats left is Kevins old car which just needs a respray and it was Polo with the tan interior I beleive

[GOLDCYLON]

Also confirmed. I will hook up with him next week to see whats left to do.

[phrogs]

really, even with a cover on the car if you want your paint to look good you don't store stuff on the car


Cool bunch of cars but the way they were stored would come into play if I was to purchase.

Here they come...

I see they also have the LT5 Camaro for sale. Isn't the asking price double what they bought it for?

I gott agree with this!!! every one of those zr's look really neglected...
they should be on jackstands, with trickle chargers, and started regularly...etc...etc...:icon_scra

[1989ZR1#74]

Well Randy has cleaned them up. They look good now. The Black/Red has been sold and the others are for sale. 7 more Zs returned to the world

[pantera1683]

Just about anything can be brought back from the dead. That's what makes this such a cool hobby, finding neglected cars and bringing them back to life. It's just hard for me to come to grips with Zs being "old" enough to be considered "barn finds". Geez, I'm getting old :o
