Guy's an doofus - our cars do not have T-tops - the hold-down strap is to restrain a flat rear tire and wheel under the hatch.

Considering the max number of ZR-1s built in 1990 was 3k and some change, #10287...is...interesting.:rolleyes:

Well giving him the benefit of the doubt and general lack of knowledge of the ZR-1, I assume the VIN is actually #287 which makes it an early ZR..beyond that his details are more lacking :dontknow:

Mmmmyeah. I'm not "casting dispersions" by any means. However, most (all?) of the VIN numbers on ZR-1s I've seen are ...580xxxx. So, a 10287 would indicate a "581" number. I used prolly a hundred+ VIN numbers to test my VIN validation program, and I don't remember seeing a "581 prefix" to the build number...It raised a flag (to me) is all.

The VIN given was ....10287. Yes, FUBAR with the #10287 - wasn't thinking. The 10 might be a typo or maybe the guy fat-fingered the VIN. I just copied it out of the Driveline.

Jim..
After reading my own post want to clarify my statements ("general lack of knowledge" etc) were NOT directed at you, but rather the source of the info you noted. Would have been rude to say something like that on an open forum.

Michael,

No blood, no foul. I should have been more aware. I appreciate it!

Geeesh guys reminds me of the movie scene in the opening of GLADIATOR with the returning messenger with no head on the horse racing towards General Maximus

Quoth Maximus:

"They say no"
