zr1 was for years 1970-1972 small block lt1 cars. It was a overall car package that included engine, suspension and luxury delete items so the car would be ready to go for club racing. the zr2 was only 1971 and that was the big block ls6 engine with all the heavy duty suspension and brake packages. Those are very rare.

Joe, GL I hope you get it.

So many beautiful rare cars are never seen again once they are put into personal collections.

I thought the ZR2 was a 454 car.

There are only two ZL1's

The ZR2 was a 454. The Bigblock was the original LS6. While it is known there were the 2 cars built recently there is a 3rd car that has surfaced and there is solid documentation for the car.

[edram454]

there were approximately 12 zr1 corvettes built with the ls6 big block motor. the first ls6 was a big block not the ls6 found in the c5. the ls6 first appeared in the 1970 chevelle. The chevelle was the most powerful chevy built in 1970 because the compression ratios were still 11:1. The 1971 ls6 came with the zl1 aluminum heads and it dropped the copression to 9:1 for the new low lead fuels. It was still an awesome preformer even with lower compression. I have seen at least 6 of those zr1 in the many shows I have been too. One of the most valuable used to belong to a guy name Jack Murray and it was brands hatch green convertible with additional hardtop and very low original miles. Too bad they never made a big block lt5 or lt6 to give it a proper name.

In all the years I've been into Corvettes,all that I've read in well over 30 years,this is the first I've ever heard of a C3 ZR1 that came with a Bigblock. I've always read the the first ZR1s were Smallblock LT-1 cars with heavy duty Bigblock components and the ZR2 was the same car with a Bigblock.
