Looks like there are about 5 ZR-1s up for sale at BJ this year, this is interesting and a good sign of the status of the Z!

Got my bidders pass
If Pratt wants it, he buys it
Looks like this is a Wed car, no respect

I counted 1 89, 3 90, 1 91, 1 93, and 1 1995 ZR1s listed.

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This car should be at the NCM. But I guess GM is cleaning house. And trying to get a little cash as well.

Isn't this like the auction for the F- 85(?) prototype / concept car that was sold 3 yrs ago? I mean the "mules" don't have a VIN # that you can use on a title for street use registration, right? I thought that GM never allows any one person to buy/have those cars? Or am I confused as usual?

I have another Q.... Is this out of the GM warehouse where they keep all the cars like the stuff that they sent to Carlisle in 07 at our tent area?

He doesn't appear to have much interest in Corvettes older than the C5.

I wish they sent us this Snake Skinner for Carlisle(almost as exciting as the 12cyl)....

I totally agree with you about GM's selling cars they said they would NEVER sell or could sell due to being "Mules". But then again, GM has troubled times and maybe thinking of selling for extra cashola.
