Hi,
My name is Mike, I live in North Eastern Pennsylvania and I just registered today. Took a chance - I just purchased a 1991 ZR-1 off of that auction site and trying to figure out exactly what I got. The car definitely has some mystery to it. Will see if I'm lucky or not...

The car was shipped from California. The title had repo papers attached to it, so somewhere someone must have been very sad. Because of this I don't think the seller knew everything about the car, seems to have bounced to him from an auction through some dealer... Still trying to sort out the title so unfortunately I can only drive it in the driveway! :-( Fingers crossed it gets resolved...

I found a crumbled up page to what appears to be the Haibek chip installation manual under the drivers seat. Explains why the power key mode default is On. Need to confirm that. I have no valet key, hoping I can get one.

The exhaust is supposedly from Billy Boat. Looks like it may be, still need to crawl under. But with the flat tire, its pretty low to the ground

Tires are crappy but that was disclosed... no spare, no jack, no wheel wrench

The wheels seem to be 95(?) chrome wheels... but they are not real unfortunately... stamped AFS inside.... I have the black version of the AFSs on my 89 L98. I hear mixed reviews... I like them on that car... on this one... eh....may try to go back to stock so if anyone has any they'd like to part with please PM me!!

The front brakes don't appear to be stock. calipers have "Corvette" machined into them. Will need to pull a front wheel and see what is the deal with those...

the hood has the lift assist cylinders removed, Would one remove those if they pulled the whole hood off? perhaps they just didn't put em back? Makes me wonder whats up there...

The whole engine seems to have a bronze color to it. Every picture I've seen looks nothing like this color. Always more of a silver, from what I can see, no? Not sure what to make of this, any ideas?

Starts and runs, but a bit tough to restart when its hot...

Well...Thanks in advance for any info or "Good Luck, Pal" s

Best Regards,
Mike
