Last four digits on the VIN will give you the car number. VIN can be found on the base of the windshield on the drivers side.

Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Beast.

Not many of the charcoal metallic 1992 ZR1's out there.
In fact, according to fairly reliable sources, there were NONE produced in 1992.
There were 19 in 1991 and 72 in 1990, that's all folks.

There are three possibilities:
1. Your car has been repainted
2. You've got a '90 or a '91
3. The info from GM is wrong

Whatever the case, welcome aboard.
We'll need pics!!

I see this the car that was just on Ebay in Texas? It was listed once before on Ebay on 6/27/07 and at that time it was originally Black. That's all I have on the car. Anyone else?

Let us know more about your purchase, pics and so on.

Welcome to the Brotherhood.

How many miles are on it?

What did you end up giving for the car?

the mex · 02-25-2008

i bought the car at a classic car auction for $19,500 with 80,200 miles.it needs a few things like the radio is inop(comes on but no sound),climate controle is inop,and it needs synchros.overall its a nice car that needs some tlc.it drives great and runs better than i expected.i would like to know what all mods are done to it too.if it was originally black,it will be put back black.

On the inside of the Console door there should be a sticker with all the factory option codes on it. Towards the bottom area will be a paint code. You are looking for a 41U or something to that effect. That would indicate a 1992 black car.

Radio, if you intend to keep it can be fixed by Doctor Don's. Climate control could be a fuse or an assembly.

Others will pipe in with comments I am sure.

i figured i could put a few grand into it and have a nice zr1 for less than 25k.now,if i have to paint it it will be alittle more than that.
i have a friend that has done all my vette stuff in the past and i trust totally.im not a fan of aftermarket sterios so the stock one will stay.i think its in the speakers or speaker wiring though.if i have to paint it,i figure i will have around 27k in it.still not too bad i guess.
