Well, For those of you that may have read between the lines. I was the high bidder on #4. THe car is rough, but not that bad. Lots of little easy stuff. The correct front wheels with flat gatorbacks came with it. Plus I get to keep those 2 fancy C6 wheels! The car will definately need paint (or less paint!). It appears to be originally red. It does not have sport seats and it does not have power seats. It has the non bose radio. and apparently it will start, but the battery was dead. It looked as though GM did a service on the car recently. I will document it as I go. We are very excited. Now on to find out about this one. Eric

Very cool Eric, glad to hear the car went to "one of us" and not to some collector who will stash it away and never be seen again. Would love to see pics of it's current condition before restoration starts.

You don't know much about salvage titles do you.

Come on $200K where does that number come from.

If the original paint on that '89 Z was indeed red, I wonder if maybe it is one of those red press cars that they used to announce the ZR-1 in '89? The ones you always see in the pictures of Z's from '89?

Per Dave McLellan's book the first 20 89 ZR-1s were built in early Feb. All but #16 were driven up to Milford as a shakedown prior to the Geneva unvailing. 15 of the 20 were flown to Frankfurt Germany, 3 at a time on 747s. 5 of the first 20 remained behind for durability, emissions and fuel economy certifications. Way to early to know whether #4 stayed or went, but if I had to guess I would say stayed in Michigan. Why, No Power sport seats, No Bose, Cloth. Not exactly the options you want to show off with the press.
