1992 Vin #0068 Traded - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

JThomas · 11-06-2011

After three and half years and 12,000 miles I have to inform you Brothers, that I have gotten rid of the "REL1C".

I will always have an affinity for the C4 platform, because an '89 coupe was my first Corvette, but the time had come to let it go. I will still be around, because I am not totally Vetteless.

I want to say thanks again to those who have assisted me over the last years with locating parts, giving advice, and helping with repairs. I keep everyone's numbers, because somewhere in the back of my mind, I know the REL1C won't be the only ZR-1 I will ever own.

It was a lot of fun. I got rid of my daily driver (2000 Chrysler w/170k miles) and the ZR-1 and bought a new Suburban LTZ. The kids really like the entertainment system and the captains seats! It was a little tough letting it go, but sometimes in order to move forward, you have to take a step back.

As stated before, I'm not without a Corvette, I guess my Z06 will just have to suffice for now.

I enjoy the Gathering too much to miss it, and yes I will stop by the motorhome.

I've had my 2007 Z06 since October of 2006. The '92 ZR-1 was a great opportunity to own a historical Corvette, but I knew I would want another. Just took delivery of my '95 ZR-1 this evening!
