Anyone know the story of this LT5 Convertible

[Tyler Townsley]

I thought the DR-1 was a ZR-1 converted by LSC? $300k makes queenie worth $350K.

The 2nd picture shows the V12 Falconer, a 1990 Active, Mystery 91 LT5 Vert, and the DR-1. Next to the DR-1 (not shown) was 1989 ZR-1 #003. You had quite the collection that year! Wish I was there.

Queenie was there on the QT.

Tyler, there is a difference between the 89 DR-1 and the 91 LT5 conversion. As you can see from the DR1s SPI it was created with the "J" code LT5 in the vin while the 91 appears to have left BG with an L98:



As far as Queenie's value its priceless

not just the J in the vin it also has the LT5 on the list so it was a 1G1YY built with a LT5 and MN6.

They can always make whatever they want that must have been a good feeling, ok were going to plug this one in on this day ect.. love the history!

I bet there were some double takes on that buld sheet back in 1988. (car was assembled in April 1988 during the pilot ZR-1 run) Not only

1G1YY : base Corvette (ZR-1 is 1G1YZ)
J : LT5
but also:
31 : Convertible (Coupe is 21)

VIN# 33 was also a Convertible LT5.

Rumor has it there were 4 built. I don't like rumors so I am researching the exact number...
