Default What are the odds...

Prototype 1989 ZR-1 for sale in LA... Judging from the serial number I think not. But hey, it does have ZR-1 emblems...lol.

It's got that special badge on the fender. Must be a prototype. Is reverse a speed?

Default Another POSER...

How come all RARE ZR-1 (proto or otherwise) have a "YY" and not a "YZ", or an "8" instead of a "J" for the model (eighth character) in their VIN? AND, they NEVER show the motor in the pix (that I can recall seeing)...hummmm?

A proto for only $7xxx?

Another poser I saw at a local car show...

It could also be that prototype 7 (forward) speed transmission that was being tested to see if they could get the RPM down at highway cruising speed???
Can you imagine the fuel mileage if we cruised under 1000 R's?
