89 Prototype ZR-1 at Mid America Motorworks
Has anybody seen Mike Yeager's '89 prototype resurrected ZR-1 at Mid America Motorworks in Effingham, IL? I had a chance to take a good look at the car over the Thanksgiving holiday at his museum. Tyler, any info on this car? Mike wasn't there and the person who showed it to me didn't know a lot about it. The last two digits in the VIN were "80" I believe.
Anyway, it sure looked

http://www.sirgalahad.org/tyler/prototype/sJoel_9.jpg Mike bought it from Joel Steiglitz for 13,000 in 97. It has been at DRM being 'restored' since then. It is more correctly a Pilot 89 rather than a prototype. It is using 90+ running gear and I believe Gordon K helped get it running this summer. Unlike mind most of what you see is not the original parts, as you can see from the picture it was pretty well flattened in England. I would not be suprised if the actual motor for this car is not in the 89 car done for Joe Roebuck in 96 as the motor for that car is at SGC. http://www.sirgalahad.org/tyler/prot...4_restore1.jpg Tyler

Re: 89 Prototype ZR-1 at Mid America Motorworks
Ok well that explains why it looks the the way it does...meaning a tad off on the hood fit etc., no biggie, but adds to the authenticity of being a ZR-1 prototype!
