I have that issue too. PM me your email address and I can take a couple pictures of the challenge article.

NO DRIVETRAIN at all. Lots of $$$ for an empty race car, IMO, although I've been known to pay crazy $$ for a car. Go figure...

At first I thought that could be #10, but #10 has/had a Phase III LT5. That Black on gray car w/blue tint roof panel, was the track car if I remember. That was a Phase IV post #40 pre #60 car. Probably one of the 5 they built late January/early February 1989 that they did not send to Geneva. black/gray interior. That really was not a media car. That was an engineering car. I would bet that Jim Ingles would remember that car. This issue is a compilation issue of various ZR-1 articles from 1988 and 1989.

Yes I believe the car had grey interior,I thought it might be blue but it does look lighter than black.

I've also got that issue. Might be the only 'Road & Track' I've ever bought in my life , LOL. Bought it new off the rack back in the day. Would probably be lucky to scrape up enough cash for that mag back then...I would have been just a punk .

You are correct. I think a race car like that might go for $5k - $10k with no drivetrain. Brett would be the one to make that call since he owns a Morrison race car

Yes I am sure you have paid lots of money for wrecked and destroyed cars but with your restoration business you and a select few others have the ability to bring these cars back to life.

I know I am waiting for pics on the restoration of your Morrison race car
