Several top-notch ZR-1s and one of the 4 Lingenfelter twin turbos:

Anyone want to buy a 90 and 92 ZR-1?

the 415 is probably easier to drive and cheaper to maintain but I don't care I want a TT ZR-1

I think there was a 93 Lingenfelter 650hp car at bloomington gold, no sale at 30K. Only 12K miles

Wow, what a collection. I didn't know Paul, but we sure as hell had the same taste in cars. Even the Fords are very cool. And those old ponchos, "Super Duty" indeed.

R.I.P. Paul.

Guess we tend to put bad new's in the back of our mind.
Now I remember @ July last year Paul passed.

Too bad about Paul. On a side note on the first ZR-1 am I seeing things or is that an auto trans and clutch pedal ???? :confused: Sorry I just went back and read the ad for the TT, converted to an auto.

Was just watching a mecum replay:

The no-sale @ $27K 1993 415 from Bloomington sold for $35K....lingenfelter kit and all....low miles too

Kevin

the more i see, the more reason i see to keep my car. not like you can get anything for them anyway

LGAFF

Based on options and miles, Pauls car should sell for less(415), I hope it doesn't because I decided to just keep what I have, no interest in my 92. Watch it sell for $27K:-x

FU

Ken Lingenfelter bought the 415 at the Mecum auction on TV....he now owns LPE.......being this is his backyard, would not be surprised if he bought these too

$10k for a motor? I understand that it's one of the last new ones but still.....I can buy a whole nice car for $15k.

That just seems crazy to me.....but then again....I have been called nuts before.:o

Looks like he's got a brand new tranny with it..

These engines sold for $18,000-$23,000 brand new from GM. You cant buy a an entire car with ZERO miles. If you want new or near new, I guess we are going to pay for that luxury.
No longer available.
