I ordered in summer of 89 and it came in 10-89.

I remember that Rick Mears got the yellow one and that was VIN 19 , 20 , 21
one of them and that was the first one for public. that story was in Autoweek . along with other story on customers who ordered at MSRP and now the dealer wanted $80,000 to $100,000 for the car and lots of law suits went on.

also G.M. shut down the plant for 4-6 weeks due to slow sales and that made for about 20 less ZR-1's per week, or 120 less cars for 90 and customers than ran to dealers to order it and lots of them did not care what the cost was.

it was nuts at the time.
