Another Youtuber with a C4ZR1

[BlackSheepz]

Not sure if anybody has seen this yet, but thought I'd share.
This guy Matt has a few youtube channels, and on this one he bought an exceptionally destroyed/beat up C4Z!

Not sure where he will go with it, but it's good to see even unloved LT5s getting some attention.

I linked to the registry in the comments, who knows if he will visit or not but it was worth a shot if he indeed is trying to get that car back on the road!

I like his channel. But he has no idea what he has bitten off. Waste of money to do anything with that car, but to tear down and part out. That is zero sense to mess with.

Great video, Wish him lots of luck in saving this one and hope he comes here to keep us posted.

OMG! Wish him lots of luck, but that thing is probably going to cost more than just buying one in decent shape, even if he got the car for free.

He did not seem too concerned with the water temps sky high!

I hope it works out for him.

If he does a majority of the work himself it should not be THAT expensive to fix up, less any power upgrades. A new paint job would be costly!

I think when Jeff got his Z it needed work. Not nearly as much as this one and now his car looks great.

Now THAT is a project wowie!! I wonder with the Rockets back to back champs attire, if that was a players car or some super fan ruined that beautiful GM paint.

Has anyone on here ever risen from the ashes a LT5 anything worse than this?

I think Brett Henderson has. 🙂

Mine was not as bad as that, but between the previous owner and myself we've done: full exterior repaint (body apart), new (donor car) interior, engine rebuild, AC repair, dash repair (gauges and AC controller), suspension rebuild and a bunch of other little "fix it" items. There's easily been 2x-3x what the car could be sold for put into it in the last 5 years.

Like Karl said though, if he does most of the work himself, it may not be too bad. He did mention in the video that he'll probably leave the paint alone for a while. Honestly, knowing what a good professional paint job cost, if I had one in that condition, I'd probably just wrap it and call it done.

Hopefully he gets it running and generates some positive interest in the C4 ZR-1.

Yes!

Looks like he’s hooked. Anxious to see the paint and finished car. Although I suspect he will be taking his time from this point forward. You Texas guys need to invite him out to play.
