Default Re: Finally Bought A "ZR1"

In the code "P8Y094", what do the numbers stand for?

P = Prototype?
8 = Year of manufacture
Y = ??????
094 = engineering tracking number?

Does anyone have a difinitive answer?

Thanks

Y is the Corvette Body line Like the F line was firebird an the J line was the Cavalier.

094 was the sequence number. so it would have been the 94th Y P number assigned. 8 was the "Model Year" your car was build during the 87 manufacture year.

There are differeing opinions on exactly what the P stnads for. I will let others discuss that, but there appears to be at least 4 different types of tracking numbers:

P numbers like P8Y094
S numbers like S9YKH1
PR numbers like 9PR110 (#074)and 9PR450 (#003)
and 1 numbers like:
19Y0123 1989 ZR-1 #081 Snake Skinner
19Y133 1989 ZR-1 #016 Yellow Geneva show car
19Y170 1989 ZR-1 France Press Tour car

Well, after six months of a car deal, I'm finally bringing the 88 home to begin work. Geoff and I made the deal and I have been waiting for a 53 to sell so I could pay for this car. The 53 sold this week and I'll be bringing the 88 home next weekend.

It will go straight to the frame shop for the windshield frame repair as well as the rear bodywork install. Once complete, I will begin preparing the rest of the car for paint, while Geoff builds the PhaseII LT5.

A special thanks to Tyler for setting me up in this deal and especially for Geoff's patience. I never dreamed this would take six months. Worth the wait!

Wow! That S.O.B is trashed. But a proto type car is worth the massive effort thats going to have to go into bringing it back from the dead. Is that a younger Corey Henderson with less gray hair in the background?

I've always liked a challenge. LOL. Actually, the structure is in great shape. It'll be easier than it looks.

Oh it definetly looks straight. Its just everything else. I know what goes into restoring a car. I've got a 1968 J code 302 4V all #'s matching Mustang that I planned on making it an MCCA Concours show winner. And thats an easy car to restore. Not allot to them. But these Z's have a boat load of electronics/sensors/computer wireing everywhere. Holy cow. And to top it of yours is not a run of the mill Z. I'm sure you will probably have to have quite a few things fabed up that you just cant get. Maybe even some wiring harnesses. But your avitar name suggests that you restore cars for a living. But that one is gonna be a challange. I'm sure you'll get it done.
