Bobby, I have the build sheets for all of them so I can tell you what they were built as..

If I join the ZR1 Registry, does a member have access to records of the 1989 Arctic Pearl ZR1s and their matching interior colors, VINs, transmission, build dates, etc?

Yes #3 is the Red/Red press car featured in most early magazines. A rumor I have yet to document is it was given to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry for display. GM forgot about it. Years later the museum wanted to give it back and they had no idea what they were talking about, but they took it. Turns out is was the #3 ZR-1. Although it was VIN #3 it was actually built last in the pilot run.

Here is the order they came down the BG line:

#3 was used when they rolled out the new ZR1 for the press. This was the last official use of my #74 ZR-1 as well.

I remember seeing it at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry about 20 years ago. I wish that I had a picture of it.

VIN 00017 was definitely Pearl White as I had that car stored when if first came back to the US. It was restored before the other one that came with it which was VIN Medium Metallic Blue (not certain of official color at present) that is presently in the Mid America Corvette Museum.
