1991 #473
Well, thought I would take a minute and show you all what I got just recently and a little about it. I purchased car #473 in Caldwell, Idaho (about 8 miles from me) on 6/26/08, it is bone stock, had 25,372 miles on it when I first saw it on Ebay (didn't buy it there). Has both tops with the glass top having the VIN stamped on it. The ZR-1 windshield has been replaced with a standard C4. It also came with brand new Goodyear GS-D3's on it. It was in deplorable condition, considering the ads stated "beautiful garage kept it's whole life". The paint is water spotted pretty badly, but will buff out (might have to color sand the bad areas). It's going to take a LOT of cleaning and a few parts and this car will be pretty stunning. The motor was not stained, which would have killed the deal for me. So far the only problem has been the secondaries didn't work. I have the parts ordered to get it going. I would say the Secondary Control Solenoid quit working and the owner didn't know about the car so the Vacuum pump burnt up.
Here's a few pics to show the condition and the work I have ahead of me. I am working feverishly to get this car presentable at the PNW Registry Event at the end of the month. I'll post more as go along. [IMG]  [/IMG]This isn't me driving, I'm better looking. [IMG]  [/IMG]Motor is in great shape with original wires.

Doesn't look too bad. Looks like you have a pretty good start on it. It will be spotless when you're done. Nice looking

Re: 1991 #473
Thanks for the comments guys. I got the back end done today. All total I used 5 cans of degreaser on this baby. The hard stuff is over I think. Can't wait to put the shiny to it, next weekend probably.
