88 vins 34-56 were prototypes EX5002-EX5026 The P numbers were P8Y075-99
Geoffs was P8Y094
vin 50 EX5025 was a convertible, I would not be suprised if that car was not out there somewhere.

I noticed in the list of car theres a Orange Metallic in there.In the late 80s I saw an L98 Orange Metallic base coupe and I also saw a convertible.This shade of orange was very brite and no mistaking it for gold,copper or any other color.Now the odd part.I saw the coupe first parked in front of a grocery store early in the morning.A few days later I saw the convertible parked in the same spot.I have never seen this color on a Corvette again on any other car.Not in a magazine,in the NCM,nowhere.Not to hijack this thread but over the years Ive asked about this and I always get the same answer,it most likely was a shade of copper.Im not color blind,I know the difference.There was an orange in 87 I think but the cars I saw were late 80s.I live in Fremont Ca and there is a G.M. corporate office here so maybe the cars I saw years ago were prototype 89s rolling around town.Does anybody have any pictures of this Metallic Orange?Ive also seen a Pearl White L98 Coupe.

How many 88 ZR1 prototypes are known to exist? Just Tyler's and Geoff's?
