Re: New ZR1 owner
Yes this was one of the last 3 sold to the public. They were all identical yellow with black interior and one top (yellow). I’m not sure where the other 2 are

Re: New ZR1 owner
Speaking as owner of Competition Yellow '95 ZR-1 #400, I say welcome to the group! You know this thread is worthless without pics though, right?
The last three salable ZR-1's were sold to Bruce Holecek, who started Tower hobbies in 1971. He gave Clint Atkins and Wayne Hemmings (both vip's in his business interests) each a car, keeping #447 for himself. I didn't personally know any of these guys, but Bruce contributed stories to The Legend (Larry Merrow's ZR-1 exclusive publication), Corvette Quarterly, and Vette back in the day, and that is where I remember their stories. Bruce himself let go of #447 a few years ago, after his son died, and it has traded hands several times and I don't longer know where it is. So which business partner of Bruce's received your car???
