BEAST 2, a STREET SKINNER - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

ZRWON · 01-12-2008

I previously had owned two ZR-1s, a steel blue metallic, '91 # 300, last know to be in France, and a turquois metallic '91 now in Ohio.

In 2003, I became the proud custodian of '93 ZR-1, #211, aka BEAST2, my 3rd and probably the last ZR-1 I'll ever own. BEAST2 was built for the late Doug Johnson by Jim VanDorn and his AutoMasters team (Street Skinner package, custom paint, and some other goodies). Jim said in an article published about the Black Widow ZR-1s, "Mr Johnson is the owner of the last "Black" LT5 engine to come from within MerCruiser"... guess that makes BEAST 2 the unofficial 9th and last Black Widow
