Might be five Ruby Zee's in Canada 'Now'...i'd have to double check. I was thinking you had meant originally delivered

. I might have mis-understood

. In 93 only two ZR-1 were delivered to Canada 'New'. One Yellow & one Red/Red (#220).

No mistake. I meant originally delivered. I always thought the Ruby database on the 40th register site was how they were optioned. In the past every Cdn vert for sale I checked out matched that database. Now it seems it is a bit of a mystery because that is filled out for I believe all ruby cars so I can't see how it is from member information only. I will keep digging.

The mystery deepens. Ruby database shows 4 Ontario ship to's and 1 Alberta ship to. Ryan your car definitely shows MI as well. So that seems accurate. So what is right, ZR1 net (2 total both not Rubies) or Ruby database? I still can't believe there were only 2 in '93 to Canada.

Back again:

Here are the vins in the database. Was BC not Alberta. Unless we turn something up I'm going to see if my local Chev dealer can run a vin check and see if they were optioned as a Z49.

On Jerry's Database, those cars shown to have been delivered to Canada have Zero information posted on them, from day one, so those are still a big 'I don't know' in my books. Not saying i know, but i've been doing this for a while & I only know and/or have ever heard of those two (yellow & black) that were ever delivered through a Canadian dealership. I seem to vaguely recall something was up with the 93's

, bumpers...?, emissions...? something was goofy there & no 93's were even supposed to come to Canada at all, but two made it through when all was said & done. I honestly have not thought about this much in a while, but something might come to me. I encourage you to keep digging though, see what you can come up with. Have you tried to contact Jerry Downey regarding the five (5) Ruby Zee's on his Database? Might want to, Jerry's a good guy, he'll try to help out

Just brought mine out today!! What a blast - wow I have missed this so much! Here are some pics of 'Dragon'.

Now its time to move some jobs forward a little.

Looks good Dave. I really hope to get mine out soon. I'm going to get it appraised soon so I can insure it for what its worth. If I wreck my vette MPIC (Manitoba Insurance) will only give me about $10,000 for it.

I found a way to insure it for more.

Two Zee's & a Zed. First time i've ever had my cars side by side by side.
