Re: Who's in-Snake Skinner up for Auction 1/09
Pardon my being Frank
But who would want a car that can't be licensed for street use ? A real wall flower. Paint or photo the car on a garage wall IMO. And save the cash. Now if it could be licensed for street use , that would be a very desireable car.

Re: Who's in-Snake Skinner up for Auction 1/09
Lic it as a kit car.....problem solved. This is a unique pice of history and was in about 10 mags as well as a test car for ZR-1 Tech.....my favoriate Z as it is the epitome of what the ZR-1 and for that matter any sports cars should be, focused on performance without the overstated luxury items. Honestly who the hell needs power seats(you can adjust a manual seat in 5 seconds vs 30 for power), expensive stereos, and all the other gizmos....give me a loud, light weight car, that can hustle around corners any day over a luxo cruiser.
Just my opinion. LGAFF ZR-1 #234 |

Agreed. Get an 84 Xfire with Z51 suspension. Pull the motor and drop in an LT-5 with the ZF-6 TRANSplant and a Dana 44. You could buy the 84 for 3-5k. Put C5 brakes on it. The only issue could be hood clearance from the unique underhood air channels for the magesium air cleaner assembly. Even the wheel offset is the same as the ZR-1. My 84 weighed in at 3200lbs. |

Re: Who's in-Snake Skinner up for Auction 1/09
Title is easy like Lee said.
I think all 1000 registry members should donate $100 each to buy this car. Then give it to me for Christmas present. Pete

Re: Who's in-Snake Skinner up for Auction 1/09
Looking at the list, appears there are 2 snake skinner cars....was not aware they made 2. No good pics available on the website.
Also noted several Impala SS cars, I wonder if the LT5 Impalas are on this list? LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |
