So you have 3 active suspension vins.

Eric my prototype windscreen has a M 44 date?
My Full power wireing is/was never connected.

We must have been posting while they were moving the site as my msg is gone but you have it quoted??

Tyler

I moved my posts with quotes over. Nothing from the old site after midnight made it...

M 44 is not the correct date fomat. The date code for the windshield should be right above that. It will be two letters. The month letter should be above the M44 code and the year to the right.

So what are our 3 actives?

EX5881 At Barrett Jackson Scottsdale/Palm Springs 2009
EX5883 At St. Pete
EX5884 At California Street Rods.

Once again...you guys are AWESOME. Thanks for sharing!

Heinrocket, it sent a chill up my spin with the credibility you offer to two already very knowlegdeable folks.

This thread should NEVER go away!

I'm glad the "early" ZR-1 bug never bit me... I already have a serious problem.

Yep, you do. And I read where you want to add an Aqua car now.

Ted No kidding try negotiating for a 8000k 89 Star Wars dash with a guy that has the only one for sale... in the world. Talk about a position of power. Not a cheap habit.

BTW I don't know how I missed this but subtract the following 7 from the 84 1989s:

K5800033 1990 Proto 1990
K5800034 1990 Proto 1990
K5800035 1990 Proto 1990
K5800036 1990 Proto 1990
K5800037 1990 Proto 1990
K5800038 1990 Proto 1990
K5800039 1990 Proto 1990


Now it appears there were only 77 1989 ZR-1s made. Then if you subtract the 15 actives..

K5800018 Active Prototype
K5800019 Active Prototype
K5800020 Active Prototype
K5800021 Active Prototype
K5800022 Active Prototype
K5800023 Active Prototype
K5800024 Active Prototype
K5800025 Active Prototype
K5800026 Active Prototype
K5800027 Active Prototype
K5800028 Active Prototype
K5800029 Active Prototype
K5800030 Active Prototype
K5800031 Active Prototype
K5800032 Active Prototype

It appears that there were only 62 1989 ZR-1s produced

I always wondered where the sign that came with 004 got its number:

The 86 car was with the 84 car in Calif. I posted the wrong vin tag for the St Pete car, going to have to find that picture again. I do not think the St Pete car was an active sus car.

Just to get this in the open. This is EX5023 (P8Y094) 1988 s/n48. I have posted the picture before but not the information.

Who is that young wippersnapper in the picture?
It is one of the graveyard cars and was Geoff Jeals engineering car 1989-1990. He has pictures of it before crushed with his boys. As part of his payment for helping Ed get the cars out he kept this one. In my mind this was the better choice. He was somewhat anoyed when mine surfaced but still found and built the motor foir me. The car is currently in Mich undergoing restoration. It was for sale at one point but Geoff changed his mind.

To the list you need to add the LT-5 powered non-ZR-1 cars. The DR-1 is one of them and there is a white convertable in a photo in "The Heart of the Beast."

John H,thanks for making it over and thanks goes to 1989ZR1#74 for letting use inside his 1989 cars and Tyler for the inside info.All of this makes owning one of these cars just a little bit more magical.

I agree, I have been following this thread. It's been extremely interesting. I even have a folder on my computer filled with pictures & info of different ZR-1 & LT-5 prototypes that I started collecting after I bought my '90 ZR-1.
