Re: Serious Concerns Over Parts Availability
Quote:
95% of the transmission is identical between ZR-1s and non, but if you break that 5% part, you're screwed. Lose one liner due to a piston or ring issue on a 93-95 car and if you can't track down a good used one, you are spending well over 3k for pistons and liners without labor. No matter what anyone wants to say, there are parts shortages, and some of the repairs would be considered cost prohibitive based on what the cars are worth. If you have a higher mileage driver, that may be worth 12-15k, you really have to love it to spend 4-5k on an engine rebuild. Worse yet, someone hits you from the rear at a red light and the insurance company totals the car. There are used bumper covers around, some take off quarter panels, a few trim pieces. Good luck finding the bumper cover supports that go between the aluminum and the bumper cover. They are ZR-1 specific. Probably the best way to look at C4s in general! |
