Its a regular old ZR-1 in green and beige.
I got it with some SGC mods and in unbelievable condition.
It had newer 5 spokes that I will be selling and I just lowered it and got these rims and tires new and just put them on today. I am pretty happy about the way it turned out.

Heres a couple more pics, 2 chebbies in the garage.

Nice Z! Too bad FL is such a long state...makes it tough to get together.

What mods did SGC do?

How about a pic of your 67? I have a 69 bird...with Nunzi valve covers LOL

Thanks It has stainless works headers, B and B exhaust, tune, and some other tweaks. I am strongly considering the intake, inj housing, heads and cam. He said he got around 455RWHP on the last one. It would be nice but its probably money I'll never recapture. That goes against my grain.

THe 67 had some pics shot the first week I got it. I havent done a nice set yet. You can click on the transams.net at the bottom of my sig and those pics are in there. It and the motion Camaro are really really nice cars.

They are 18x12 and 18x10 Carol Shelby wheels made by speedline. I have seen them for sale on the other site in the forsale section. The tires are BFG KDW 335/30/18 and 275/35/18. Both tire sets are stock height.

Thaks for the compliments. The car was really well kept and Aaron at SGC told me about the car. If not for Aaron I wouldnt have known it was available. It looks like maybe 5k miles, maybe, The rims are pretty nice. Carter200 makes some center caps I am waiting to get made that say ZR-1.

I think lowering it was huge. Lots of these cars in my opinion are just way too high. I went to a wheel shop that installs lowering kits and asked them to pull the front leaf for me. When they handed it to me I took out the 4 aluminum spacers and cut the pivots down to about 1/4 inch of rubber left. I didnt install the wedges. On the back I bought the bolts from ecklers and took those down to just 3 threads left and thats the look after about a 3-4 days of letting it settle.

Congratulations Mario on your purchase. In my opinion, the 91-93s have the just the right design regarding the wheels and interior. I personally don't care for what they did to the dash and steering wheel, not to mention the A-molds, with the 94-95s. Your modifications appear are well done. Nice job!

Thanks Mario.
But i'm still interested to find out who is making 455rwhp with Stage I cams.

When i was making 450RWHP with stock cams i used to run low 11's @ 125 MPH.
He should be running about the same.

Please look into it i would love get more info on the car,i've been around ZR-1's and the club for a long time and have not seen another 350 ci run the MPH like mine.
Very interested.
