This is just sad.

How does someone let a ZR-1 get to this condition?

This one makes mine look like a mint NCRS car.

The picture of the odometer in the car says 16,039 miles, but the carfax report says it had 76K in '97, which is when the last emissions check was done, so someone must have replaced the CCM. It also had an accident involving damage to the left rear quarter panel back in '92.

They also say it sat for 5 years, but I'd say it's much longer than that. Looking at the condition and what the carfax says, I'd say it's been sitting next to the ocean (its in florida) ever since '97 and has at least 76K miles. According to them "it barely rolls".

I don't think you could get much for this car even parting it out, anything metal on it is pretty much worthless by now. Just look at the condition of the engine bay, looks like its been sitting IN the ocean!

Either a flood car, or as you said, been sitting outside close to the salt water. Pretty bad when the third brake light housing is rusting.

Apparently it is worth 2,500 to somebody.

LOL, Yea that would be me! I was teaching my son how ebay works, walking him through it and Bang! WTF! lol. I looked for a bid retraction option but couldn't find it. I went to ask seller question option and told them the situation. I'm sure it will go for over the 2500.00

What a shame somebody would leave a car out like that. At least the body panels aren't rusted =D>

Ouch, I saw the stuff they brought back from the Titanic, and that stuff looks better than that car.... Throw it back in the ocean.... Please

Rick's new favorite words are "sold for 2501.00"

Hey you guys know I could have polished her up real nice! Someone out bid my 5yr old.

I would have eatin the 2500.00 if it came down to it, my son Anthony would have had 13 yrs to get her into shape

Im thinking about buying this one to use for my convertible project but Id have to see what the steel looks like I can see this kind of corrosion with it being right by the water Ive seen it first hand living on a island but there has to be more to the story.

Who wants to road trip with me to FL?

JThomas · 03-23-2010

There must be more to this story. I wonder if this car was involved in a flood situation? It couldn't get in this shape by just being near the ocean?

(Didn't mean to be redundant, Jeff beat me to the post.)

that carfax report is BS no someone miss typed the mileage and this car ended up with it.

It looks like a flood car maybe katrina got it but who knows if it turns over and the power comes on that is a little bit of a good sign for me anyway.

Yep, looks like it was taken through registration in 97, and then sat for some reason. 16k, 76k, it all looks the same. I've seen reports that have recorded Km instead of regular miles.
