91' ZR1 BLACK MOTOR CAR FOR SALE VERY RARE
This car has it all, full 6 point cage, Black motor, Ap racing calipers, fully adjustable suspension, 2 pc.14"rear dymag wheels, 12" fronts, This car was professionally built, originally thought to be built by Doug Rippie. We now believe the car was built by Kim Baker before Doug Rippies black motors were built. We contacted Doug about the car to try to get more info, he told us this is not his car. We had this car listed on ebay as a Black Widow car. This is not a Black Widow car, it seems it is even rarer than that. This car has foam inside the frame of the car. It has a switch on the console to engage the extra injectors.
We have all the service records on the car, We have an old appraisal saying this is a Kim Baker/ Dieline racing built car. We are still trying to find the original documentation on the car, where exactly it came from and when. We think it is one of the very first Black motor cars ever built if not the first one. Now what we know: Engine: upperand lower intake plenum ported and polished cylinder heads ported and polished camshafts degreed modified induction DRM-500 PROM CHIP with Red Checkered Flag Watson Big Tube Headers-3"Exhaust Fidanza Flywheel and Center Force Clutch CHASSIS: 6 Point Rollcage Frame Stiffened Suspension Lowered and Calibrated Polyurethane Bushings Brakes: A.P. Racing Calipers A.P. Racing Rotors 2pc 14" Front 12" Rear Stainless Steel Lines and Braided Hoses Adjustable brake pressure valve Wheels and Tires: DYMAG Magnesium Wheels Fronts 12" wide Rears 14" Wide Tires Michelin Pilot Sports 315/35/17 fronts 335/35/17 rears There is much more I can't list it all, and obviously don't know it all. I am not the owner of this car, I will give the owners contact info, he has much more knowledge of ZR1's than I do. The car is number #1639 This car is a steal at $26K Thanks I will answer as many questions as I can, We are still putting calls into Dieline and trying to find a new number for Kim Baker Racing. I have pictures I will post as soon as I get back on some hispeed. |

Re: 91' ZR1 BLACK MOTOR CAR FOR SALE VERY RARE
Did you say the car was originally black?

I checked what this ad says to what the service records state, The owner of this car after Jay Grundyke ( I have info saying the car was owned by Dieline Racing) Was Bill H***** of MI. The mileage of the car all is in order compared to the service records we have with the car, including the mileage with the previous ad for sale you posted from 2001. The receipts also indicated that the car was painted while Dieline had the car. Most of the cars that Kim baker Raced were white cars. I think this is the car you posted. There are some slight differences, The coil overs were removed, and The mufflers was slightly changed. This car was driven and maintained by the wife of Bill, she had complained that the car was too loud. This is very interesting chasing the history of this car, Somebody should buy this car, its a steal and very rare. The owner that has the car now has never plated the car. Its been garaged, and only driven on nice summer days. Thanks |

Took (NEW)delivery Oct. 31, 1990 Russell Chev. here in N. Little Rock. Doug picked my car up in Memphis, TN Feb 15th 1993. Doug Rippie was not qualified at the time to work on the LT5 so they were dismantled and sent to MerCruiser for the head work etc., painted black and sent back to Doug for reassembly and any other mods a person wanted i.e. coil over suspension. exhaust, headers, etc. # 2 1991 Black car #2, VIN #757 is the only 525hp option ZR. Steve Wait originally had car #2. It was actually delivered before Dave Harrington’s because Steve had a race to go to. Doug R reworked his several times after it came back from MerCruiser. Steve worked at Gwatney Chev. in Jacksonville, AR His car was sold a number of years ago to a collector in Pittsburgh, PA. Last known owner was George Crouse # 4 1993 40th Anniversary, VIN #153, Black Widow Actually car #4, ZR1 #153 the only 40th, was first owned by a gentleman from Florida.

Re: 91' ZR1 BLACK MOTOR CAR FOR SALE VERY RARE
The owner purchased this car around then, If you look at the Kim Baker information it also has a 6500 circled on it? What a coincidence?
