On my search for my first ZR1 I ran across a very nice looking white unit that was shown on several sites. It was slated for auction. The location was within a couple hundred miles. I was not willing to pay the dealer to see the car fax so I kept looking. Then I saw the car listed in California and they provided a free carfax on it. It was fairly low miles, under or around 20k. It was shown to have been side swiped with no air bag deployment. I then contacted the local dealer and they denied the report.to my knowledge the car may still be listed for sale.
But if you can really completely verify the car you are looking at and deal with the stigma you could potentially have a nice clean original driver. Can you verify it was not partially stripped and other than original parts used to replace the stolen items? Just be aware you may have a hard time should the need ever arise to resell it.
I ended up buying a documented all original Zr1 with 12k on it for just a little more than what was being asked for the local car and a dirty carfax.
