LT-5 Emblems - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

BlackZR1 · 12-03-2018

Here's an interesting piece of history from a seller of these emblems who says he worked on the Corvette program in 1988 and the Eng. change to cancel the LT5 emblems in favor of the ZR-1 emblems.

There were both.. GM made them as pictured, but there was a guy that made reproductions probably close to 10 years ago now

True. I think the ebayers claim of "prototype" and $600 asking price is ridiculous and borders fake news lol

well considering there are 6 emblems and that many ZR-1 emblems are around $70 on eBay.. the $600 is not too far off

as for the Prototype claim, it could be true as early cars (pre-production) had the LT5 badge

The LT-5 Emblems that match the C-4 ZR-1 Bumper Emblems were not GM products.

Although they were available in most C-4 colors they were privately made reproductions.

I actually still have my Ruby one that I purchased.
They look great and match the ZR-1 in size, style and font.
The only real difference is they had no locating pins on the back.

I do not know who actually produced them, but am 99.44% certain that it was not General Motors, nor one of their reproduction affiliates.

Mid America sold them back in the day, my lt4 car had one on it when I bought it. I took it off when I bought it but I still have it. It’s yellow, same as the car.Image1544059754.561517.jpg
