Introducing myself

[dutchvette]

Hi all

I'm quite new here on this forum, so let's introduce myself.....

My name is Michel van Wessel, 33 years old and I live in the Netherlands. I am together with Miranda and we have one son, Chevano. Another baby will be born this summer. And, very important off course, I just love Corvettes!!! That's the reason why I have 3 Corvettes, a 1978 Pace Car, a 1980 LG4 (California) and a 1990 Export model. All of them are coupés.

Reason to join the ZR1 forum is this: I have recently found a 1990 ZR1 here in the Netherlands for a very reasonable price and I try to gather information about it, because I can't get some things together...I checked the entire VIN code with my Blackbook and that all seems to be matching, but the Dutch license plate is not correct at all. It says that the car came here in 1998 officially, but the plate itself says it's from 1994 (we can easily see that here, not like in the US).

Because of that I searched the internet and I found out that the car was involved in an accident with a truck back in 2001 (3-2001)

3/01
1990
Black/Black
1G1YZ23J3L5801109
ZR was totaled with 60K miles, hit by truck, sold and being rebuilt.

So what I really would like to know is, where did this happen, in the US or here in the Netherlands? And can someone tell me when the car came to the Netherlands (for I can't find it at all)? And if maybe someone might know the previous owner and what happened with the car...please let me know. Let's say that every additional information about this ZR1 is more than welcome!!! Not only for me (if the car is repaired professionally I'll consider buying the car), but also to warn other people.

ZR1:
VIN 1G1YZ23J3L5801109
Color: black, interior: black, wheels: black, transparant roof, 130000 km (81250 miles).

Greetings from The Netherlands, STW
