Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
If you want to read some VERY fascinating stories on these early cars start digging.When I first heard these were being resurrected I must have spent hours reading about them.These cars arent restored,they are brought back from the dead.Brett,when I had my 84 I started buying early parts for a future restoration but the cars gone and most of the parts but I do have a few things left,all G.M.What I have left is an 86-89 steering wheel,all exterior lights,heater control.

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
I put this wheel in my car for about a month and then took it off and put it back in the box.When I had the wheel recovered for my Z I used the box to send it out and didnt get the box back,was not very happy but I do have the receipt here somewhere.I also have a set of the front driving lights.

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
It will be fun to begin the interior when the times comes. The 87 donor car that I got will be a huge help, but the steering wheel is hard and cracked. I'll contact you when the time comes, for sure.
PS I just added pics of the 54 Motorama Fastback panels in the mold making thread.

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
Wow, think about how rare this car is.....and then think about how many other models of cars had this type of effort put into it, and what the impact was to the auto industry?
The only other program that I can think of is the effort by Ford with the GT40, and but not for the ZR-1, does Ferrari build the F40? The ZR-1 bested the Ferrari Testarossa, Lamborghini Countach, and the Porsche 911/928S4. The LT-5 was hiccup in the supercar world that upped the ante and I am not sure the American performance cars we have today would be here without the LT-5 program. Keep in mind the genesis of program really started in the mid 80s. Great to see, I will definately be down to Indiana to check this out, great stuff!
