Ok, I have documented earlier that the Conan ZR-12 at the Museum is 1989 Vin #040, P9Y074. The ZR-12 is Bright Red with a GRAY interior:
![]() Well in my neverending quest for information on the 1989s I came accross the July 1992 Issue of Vette magazine: ![]() The magazine identifies the ZR-12 as EX5664, WHile reading the article I was struck by a couple oddities. The car has side pipes and a SADDLE interior: ![]() ![]() But the one at the NCM has a Gray interior: ![]() The magazine ZR-12 has sidepipes: ![]() So were there two ZR-12s or did Chevrolet rebuild this, take the side pipes off, and swap out the interior???

Not sure if there are two yet, could be just the gray looking "saddle" in the mag, but there are some big differences they had to make after the 1992 pictures.

Is that overflow tank a prototype unit or production?

Very interesting! Who knows, maybe there are a lot of secret cars like this one hidden and stashed away that no one knows about.

Thanks to George's picture of #055 it appears that the ZR-1s up to #055 had White ones. All ZR-1s I have seen after #074 had black ones.
