Anyone have a wag ? A website, or source ? What are the stats for attrition for ANY car.

They are fun as Hell to own and drive, but I am always curious about rarity...c'mon, there were dammed few built and fewer still surivive. One day collectors will wise up...I know I could have bought a '63 split window in the mid 70's for a few thou... What will prices be for the few hundred 93-95 zr1's in 10-15 more years ? They seem to have really taken a hit on prices now.

I'd guess that a lot of the '63s are still around, even though you don't see them very often.
Don't forget that a lot of people had the post in the middle cut out and the '64 glass installed as a safety improvement.

Of the 6939 production ZR1's made I'd have to guess probably 3/4 or more are still road worthy.
There's a list of known totaled ZR1's over on the Net page:

Looks to be a good 50 or more are known losses.
There's pretty much a steady stream of used LT5's that show up on eBay indicating that yet another one has bitten the dust.

The real question is, how many 0 mile ZR1's are tucked away in plastic bags in garages or warehouses?
