I think I'm going blind, or my mind is shot....or maybe both! The door skin and the rear 1/4 panel do not match body lines very well. The door has no defined shelf above the door handle like a ZR-1's door should, or that is what I see?
The 1/4 panel flat area at the antenna seems to be broad like a ZR-1 1/4 panel is supposed to be, but where it meets the door skin it looks like a miss match at the top? The reverse lights and the plate holder don't look right either, too skinny? I can see the top of the dash doesn't look anything like my 90's dash top.....I'm confused.:confused:

I should go have my coffee and jump start my brain.

Your car? Is that '90 ZR-1 #2324?

Hi Jackflash
Actually this is a 89 corvette with a ZR1 body package. You would never know the difference until you lifted the hood
Cheers

Looks like it has been resprayed... there's a '90 ZR-1 out there that was resprayed that exact color. I owned it years ago... looked just like that, only with '90 wheels. My wife was sure this was my old car. Wow. Thanks for replying.
