Default Re: Check it out.

Looks like there were more than 15 made. Says 1 of 245 ever made. Wonder who the previous owner was and if someone in the ZR-1 community knows. Might just be a private collector. I'll get an up close personal look at it tommorrow. Just wasn't able to make it before they closed today.
Not sure this would be a special enough ZR-1 worth taking out a 2nd on your house for but then again! Now I'm not incinuating anything here, I'm just saying. hehehe!

In 1993, there were 245 Ruby Anniversary ZR-1s produced, not 245 Callaway ZR-1s in 1993. The add isn't accurate enough.

Sure would be nice to see some facts about these cars posted up. Hear about snake skinners all day long but not so much about these.

Found some more facts about them to post up from an owner.**********

This is how you tell the difference. 1 the work order from callaway and on the back window is a decal saying callaway 475 super natural. most of the cars have brembo brakes and coilovers . the motors are ported including the heads ,but the porting in actual fact is very minimal, my 90 which has only ported inj housing and plenum runs a full .3tenths and 3 miles an hr faster at the same strip

porting was just basicly sleaning off the casting flashes. the head porting was about the same . valves did get a 3 angle valve job and the cams were timed for max performance . the car might be worth the price coinsidering it is a ruby car. but for not too much more one might pick up franks car which to me would be a lot better deal. all total there were just 16 super natural 475s made .

the black piece that all zr-1's have to fill out the 1.5" difference on each side of the license plate and between the reverse lights
