What's the story on the first 100 1990 ZR-1s?

[ZR1Vette]

The manual AC (code C60) was available only in MY90 and 124 were sold with the manual AC... some know VIN with manual AC show that it was being optioned throughout the MY90 production:
#418, #610, #713, #969, #982, #990, #1040, #1051, #1766, #2086, #2491, #2838, #2511, #2682

Auto AC and the transparent top were the only two options in MY90 and in MY91 on auto AC was only available in that the manual AC was dropped.

Those were the only options on these cars. Though there were two roof possibilities, the clear as a replacement, or the clear in addition to the solid roof. But you could only add a max of two options to the car.

So what you are saying is that I should go buy this one. #56 for $14950. I took a look at it and it is a typical 75K mileage car with some nicks and bruises. Interior is easily resotred. I may go take it for a spin this week.

Looks like a nice car for a decent price. The under #100 issue is questionable and I wouldn't pay extra for that. Although, I do remember reading somewhere that the very early cars were press cars. Don't take the 14,950 as the final price. They have already marked it down, that means it's been there for a while and if it doesn't sell soon it will be wholesaled off. From the pictures it looks like it has new wheels and Goodyear GS-D3 tires (nice), a short shifter, decent paint and interior. Too bad it's Sunday, dealers are closed today in IL.
Good luck

Thanks for the heads up. I was hoping to hear from someone local.

Have you been out shopping for a third Z, Lee? I take it you looked at and drove this car? You better buy that lift for your garage so you can stack them in there.... and a bed for the garage when your wife makes you sleep there...

Mr. Haibeck knows the car well........always room for more Zs. I just need to keep buying my wife new a new Mercedes every so often....by the way tell the guys from Hoffman to stop calling her up I keep getting calls at work saying....How much is an SL55, CL500......

Well I went and looked at the car over the weekend and it was pretty beat up. The guy did have a ton of NOS parts but not enough to make up for the condition of the car IMHO. He also stated that all ZR-1s had auto climate control...so that kind of discredits the rest of his story.

If anyone is looking for NOS parts that come with a project car I've got a phone number for you...

1990 #41 here. I have heard the same stories as well about the first cars. Don't know for sure any of that is true. I am the third owner and have no idea who the first owner was. For all I know, peewee herman could of been the first owner.
