Worst condition ZR-1 ever? - Page 6 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

phrogs · 03-30-2010

I am stunned that someone would pay that much for that car yet good cars with sub 50K miles cant bring 16K!!!!

As long as the frame is good the rest is restorable And having done a nut and bolt restoration on a ZR-1 I know what is involved but I enjoy tearing these things apart it will be interesting to see if the buyer parts it out.

Theres a few possiblilities that I know could have bought it.

Corvette salvage (out of Mississippi)
Theres another down in Alabama that has parted a few ZR-1s on ebay have to dig up the name
and then the place up in ohio cleavland pick apart.

or an individual. I fell this car will be parted out though thats what my crystal ball says so we may see it again!

I think there was a Ruby in MI that was worse. No drive train and it was as ugly as this one...

Are you planning to part it out?

Are you kidding me? Kurt bought it? IS this an April Fools Joke?

No i didn't buy it, i was referring to Phrogs post that you can "remove me from the list" of potential buyers.

The price was was over the top, bumper and doors looked to be the most value on the whole car. Very little good salvage left, heck can you imagine i bought that car and parted it out, you'll all be asking me "did that come off that POS red ZR-1"

Be interesting to see what really happens to the "sale"

Thats what I read so I took Kurt off my list of possible buyers but only had kurt on there because he was so close.
