'94-'95 Comp Yellow Z’s with Gray interior.

[B17 Crew]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for the breakdown of how many ’94-’95 Competition Yellow ZR-1’s with gray interior were made in those years.

I was able to find our the following, but couldn’t locate the yellow/gray breakdown:

Total of 49 yellow cars produced for ’95.
12 had light beige interiors.
2 yellow/red (not confirmed according to ZR1netregistry.com)

Total of 43 yellow cars produced for ’94.
8 had light beige interiors.
1 yellow/red.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

According to the data Jim Voter has the only 94 yellow/gray ever produced.
Don't know if any yellow/grays were produced in 95

Thank you, Jagdpanzer. This is great info and explains why I have not seen any yellow/gray ’94’s come up for sale. Have been watching for at least the last six months trying to gauge their pricing.

In 1994, there was only one Yellow/Gray ZR-1, #224
In 1995, there were two Yellow/Gray ZR-1's, #36 and #426

Jim

[QB93Z]

In 1994 there was one Yellow/Red ZR-1, #75
No Yellow/Red 1995 ZR-1's

I have heard rumors of a Yellow/Red 1995 so it might have been a post production interior switch, maybe at a dealership.

Thanks, QB93Z. I have learned a lot today, wasn’t aware this combo is truly rare. I will have to shift my ideal color combo to include black & light beige interiors with the comp. yellow.

That’s a great shot, looks like they are after the insects/bugs on the surface of the radiator cooling fins.

That has become one of the most interesting posts I’ve ever viewed! The car, the scenery, the photography! Booked marked the “ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure Travel Log” so that I can view it over and over. Thanks for the link.

QB93Z, I have to say your Alaska travel log post is incredible. I even told my wife she has to view the post so she can see the incredible photography.

I wanted to ask, there are a few photos in your post where your interior looks gray, is it just my monitor? Glad to see a car like that being put to good use and enjoyed. What a way to see Alaska!

You are welcome! I'm happy to finally see the color combo. Never have seen this combo in person, but I always imagined it would look good; from what I can see it looks great. You have the proverbial needle in the haystack!

A Yellow ZR-1 draws a lot of attention. During our trip there were several occassions where someone would come up to us and say that they saw us several days ago in some other area. It was fun and we got to meet some nice people.

My wife Lyndi is the photographer. She uses the photographs as inspiration for her paintings. I never thought that my ZR-1 hobby and her photos and art would fit together so well.

Traveling in a ZR-1 takes some planning and luggage discipline, but the reward is more than worth it. If you believe in the joy of ZR-1 ownership and if you believe in Permagrin, than a long trip in your ZR-1 is the best way to maximize your enjoyment.

Sorry for responding so late, I'm in nursing school at this time and my hours are all over the place.

I could see a Yellow ZR-1 standing out in Alaska, it sounds fun to have been recognized by other travelers. You just are not going to see Competition Yellow C4’s regularly in Alaska, least of all one that is a ZR-1!

My wife went through the Alaska Travel Log thread this evening, she kept calling me over to comment on photos and was saying how nice they are. She even said that it would be fun to do a trip like that someday in the Corvette (we have a ’96 LT4 with 55k miles that we've owned for the past 15 years.)

I noticed in one of your photos that your wife was working on a watercolor while in the passenger seat, that is an impressive merger of interests, not to mention that she has a steady hand. Her eye for creativity comes through in the photos in the thread.

Shouldn't be too much longer till I graduate from my LT4 to an LT5. Here are some photos of my good ’ol trusty steed.

Lyndi painting in the Z is amazing for several reasons. I used to have a rule that no beverages or food were allowed in the ZR-1. She gave me flak about it all the time. We have taken several long trips in the Z. Last year, We drove to Nova Scotia and back. On long trips, the no beverages rule was relaxed.

So Spring 2012, Lyndi said: "Where are we going for our trip this year?" I said that I have wanted to drive the Alaska Highway in a Corvette since I bought my first Corvette. She said to plan the trip but it had to be 30 days so we wouldn't feel rushed, and she wanted to be able to take her paint because she thought she would get bored. We set up a system with small art boards, a tray for her acrylics, a "closable" pallet for mixing and some clips to hold her layouts. She had planned to do about 20 paintings. The trip was so interesting that she only did 5 paintings.

Your C4 is beautiful! Clearly you get a lot of enjoyment from your Corvette hobby.

Thanks, I would be missing the ZR-1 bodywork though. Always thought the Z’s extra width perfected the proportions of the C4. It’s not too often that I see a Z on the road, but I can spot one a mile away once I see the flared body work. Their proportions are perfect. The ZR-1 is, and always will be the pinnacle of the C4 era.

i dont understand how you people do that.

As for my LT4 being clean, it didn't always lead a pampered life, it was my daily driver here in Ohio for 6 years (1998 to 2004). It had been through everything Ohio could throw at it weather wise. I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania so I was well-trained in driving rear-wheel drive cars in the snow. Picture below was taken after I had arrived at work (back in ’04 I think). The photos of the car being clean are the result of many hours of detailing to bring the car back to showroom condition. You can use your Corvette as a daily driver and bring it back to looking new! It did take many weekends, spent quite a bit of time under the car detailing as well. My back will never be the same.

Thank you for the kind words regarding my C4. I love my C4 and just about anything having to do with Corvettes. I was bit by the Corvette bug over 25 years ago.

I got a pretty good chuckle out of your post. My wife must have missed the artwork underway photo when she went through your Alaska Highway thread. If my wife finds out a ZR-1 owner let his significant other paint in the car while traveling, my “no liquids ban” in the Corvette will be disbanded by executive order. :mrgreen:

Preparation is everything, I can see that you had a great traveling studio set up. It must have been hard to concentrate on creating artwork while being surrounded by such incredible scenery.
