Re: Engine Fire??
That would make a great parts car. Engine & drivetrain rebuildable and very sellable, lots of ZR1 only body panels, maybe some interior bit and pieces.
Heck, someone could probably rebuild the whole car. Most of the burned up stuff is standard C4. Wiring harness may be a little difficult to find or reproduce. Hopefully, one of our Corvette recyclers will pick it up. If I only had the money, time & space...

Engine Fire??
Ok gang. Time for an update. This was a member’s car I believe (through my tiny bit of research). Not sure if the member is still active on the forum, PM me if you are please.
I was the “successful” bidder on the Copart auction. It seems I have a crazy notion to “save” black 91 ZR-1s. First I save #1900 from a total loss after owning it less than 48 hours and spinning in on black ice. Now I save #0031 because it is black, has the rear bumper and quarter panels I need and it is less than 5 miles from my house. My wife is seriously questioning my logic. Haha. It is basically a burned up Covid-19 stimulus paperweight that has forced her to park outside. To me it is my attempt at keeping the legend alive. Anyways, the car is very crispy up front. Hard for me to determine what happened, but it appears most of the fire and heat was around both exhaust headers, in and around the back of the engine and definitely near the heater/AC box. I’d certainly say it is only a parts car now sadly. It would take a large amount of money and parts to return to working order. There are a lot of good parts it looks like. A lot of the ZR-1 specific things are still there. I was looking to see what ideas everyone has on the parting out of this one. This forum and brotherhood has helped me so much that for now I only want fellow ZR-1ers to inquire about any parts or the current status of my progress. I owe the forum much more than I can ever give back. Two things I know for sure that I need are the bumper and the pass. quarter panel (I have spares, but they aren’t already painted black). I haven’t decided yet if I’m keeping the engine and trans. The engine has had secondaries deleted and top end porting, was refinished before with SST hardware. I have always planned on keeping #1900 a very long time so I may stockpile some spare things but I definitely don’t have room or want to become a C4 parts business. I’m just curious as to what others would do or have done before. Been working 60+ hours a week lately so I’m not sure when I’ll do some inventory and start to figure out what I’m selling and for how much. If you have interest please send me a message. Also, the rear license plate surround was stashed in the car, so it will be available soon as mine still has its original. Thanks all and stay safe!

Engine Fire??
Responded to PMs. I’m making a list of parts and interest. Going to take me a while to get organized and start pulling stuff. Also there may be parts I’d like to use to replace what mine has, but that could make other parts available. More to come all.
