vettn71 · 03-24-2009

There's an ad in the NCRS Driveline magazine where the following is being offered for sale:

Coffee table book
Video
Build sheet
Owner's manual
Original key fpr door
T-top hold-down straps (black)

Guy wants $350. Shoot. for that money you could go out and buy off FleaBay and pocket $250. If you're interested call 860.918.3093

Guy's an doofus - our cars do not have T-tops - the hold-down strap is to restrain a flat rear tire and wheel under the hatch.

Considering the max number of ZR-1s built in 1990 was 3k and some change, #10287...is...interesting.

Well giving him the benefit of the doubt and general lack of knowledge of the ZR-1, I assume the VIN is actually #287 which makes it an early ZR..beyond that his details are more lacking

Mmmmyeah. I'm not "casting dispersions" by any means. However, most (all?) of the VIN numbers on ZR-1s I've seen are ...580xxxx. So, a 10287 would indicate a "581" number. I used prolly a hundred+ VIN numbers to test my VIN validation program, and I don't remember seeing a "581 prefix" to the build number...It raised a flag (to me) is all.

well my guess it is either 1028 or 1027

vettn71 · 03-25-2009

The VIN given was ....10287. Yes, FUBAR with the #10287 - wasn't thinking. The 10 might be a typo or maybe the guy fat-fingered the VIN. I just copied it out of the Driveline.

Jim..
After reading my own post want to clarify my statements ("general lack of knowledge" etc) were NOT directed at you, but rather the source of the info you noted. Would have been rude to say something like that on an open forum.

Michael,

No blood, no foul. I should have been more aware. I appreciate it!
