Default Re: I saw a 86 Narrowbody prototype for sale

Hi Guys - I had some trouble getting logged into the net - now its OK
sorry you all feel bad about my post.

On today of the Royal Wedding I can now post a reply

This car is more than just a narrow body with a zr1 engine - its the earliest survivor of the LT5 program.

It comes with SO much history and paperwork that I collected from the time I saved it from the junkyard in UK to now.

I also have a load more prototype stuff including another chassis (as in HotB) and ph1 engine, 6 spd trans etc

The whole package of exclusivity should be valued in XS of $200k

I am in California now back in Uk June 1st I can be contacted keef@eurovettes.com at any time

Cheers
Keith
I hope the gathering is a great success - so sorry I cant be there

No hard feelings over the post, but even someone with money is going to be turned off by the “if you have to ask...” comment.

I think most people who frequent the forum are aware of what the car is. The car really isn’t anything more than a narrow body with an LT5, no matter what the provenance is.

It sucks about the fire. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone’s collector car regardless of value or rarity.

200k? Not in a million years. Not that it’s an unrealistic figure for a car of that significance in general, but because of what the car is specifically. A c4.

As it sits, with all the extras, it’s probably worth 20-50k to someone who is in love with zr1s, has deep pockets, and/or a lot of free time.

I hope some does purchase it and continue the project.

Best of luck with the sale.

I just don't understand how anyone can be so rude about someone else's car, no matter what your personal feelings are.

Keith, we all know how important this car is to the heritage of the ZR-1.

So guys - time has moved on - Brett Henderson has agreed to restore the car to its former glory following the interior fire.

If interested in this unique piece of Z1 history then I would let it go for $100k as is.

FYI in restored and running condition (once interior is replaced) I suspect its historic value for collectors would be in excess of $200k.

MOTE due to Phase 1 engines throwing oil out at higher revs it has been set with a Marc Hiabeck chip restricting revs to 2000.

Remember this is a unique piece of history

Sounds like a very prudent decision

Amazing car. I'm sure some day it will be fully restored and appreciated because of its unique and historical importance
