My '95 just turned 20
(sigh)
The car, SN 140, was built just before Thanksgiving in 1994.

The Dark Purple Metallic '95, I've come to know-and-love as "Barney", has almost 84,000 miles on the odometer and other than some leaking weatherstrip sections and a digital speed display that sometimes goes to zero on the freeway, the car runs well and everything still works.

Had the car out last Wednesday night doing some testing of headlamps. Needing to run about 100 for a little while, I had the excuse to floor it and take it to 7000 before making the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. Man...for a 350 with stock cams and headwork, that car still runs hard. Thanks to Van Dorn for a great Automasters engine

My next big project with it is to replace all the weatherstrip.

Not looking forward to that job.

25 DPM ZR-1s were built. I wonder how many are still in existence?
