Default CHEAP ZR-1

Not sure of anything except I'd go see it if I was close.

That looks like Joe Thomas' old car. Maybe he'll chime in and confirm?

Exactly what I was thinking. Joe is from the Lansing area.

Talking Re: CHEAP ZR-1

It is Joe's old car, no question about it. If anyone is interested, PM JThomas and he'll verify and probably give you his phone number.

Yes that is my old car, VIN #0068. I still have my file folder of receipts for the repairs/parts I bought over the last three years. Car was originally from California and I believe I was the fourth or fifth owner. I put 12,000 miles on it in three years.

Any questions, let me know.

It just kills me that every used car joint always Armor-Alls the engine bay.

My old car has now been replaced with a 1995 Bright Aqua ZR-1 #152! Just arrived at my house about two hours ago. I'm just a wee bit excited!

Merry Christmas, eleven days early.

So what was the secret behind the option code?

I contacted Hib Halverson and he reached out to a friend of his who advised that "1AA" is a fleet order code. The documentation shows the car was build to the GM Region Office in California that handles the press cars. The invoice shows it was delivered to the proving grounds in Arizona.

Hib explains that is typical to have the cars delivered there so GM execs and others can drive them and "workout" any bugs before the press gets ahold of them.

The paperwork that came with the car shows GM put roughly 10,000 miles on the car then sold it to a dealer in California in 1996. It was stored in a private collection. Then went to a second dealer in Wisconsin. Still never titled, and only an additional 2,000 miles put on the car.

The guy I bought it from purchased it at Barrett Jackson in January of last year. He only put 100 miles on the car. The odometer reads 12,148 miles today as it sits in my garage and looks every bit of it!

That's the short story.
