1990 ZR-1 #2456 Original Components
#2456 is obviously just a single data point and we know there were many running changes throughout the 6 year run and even during a particular model year.
Since I found this car in such an original state, I thought I would post shots of components that NCRS geeks, and others, might find interesting. This vehicle is on Marc Haibeck's arrival list and he estimates 8 weeks so, I have a lot of cleaning and documenting to do prior to Marc's work. Since it has not been started in 31 years, I removed the center spoiler so a winch could be used.

Assembly line installed oil filter. This filter has never been changed. As a matter of fact, the oil has never been changed...
   After cleaning with water and microfiber cloth...

Re: 1990 ZR-1 #2456 Original Components
The rear hatch strut supports are both products of Gas Spring Co. 10107975 & 976 are both dated the 96th day of 1990 and the car is a June 1990 build so, those numbers align well.

Re: 1990 ZR-1 #2456 Original Components
I find it amazing how often cars are left then found in this condition.
The ones that I have fostered / adopted were at least covered before being stashed away. While I share your excitement in finding and resurrecting it, I also have equally strong feelings about those who let it sit that way without even a cover for 30 years. Look forward to seeing the end result. One suggestion. After sitting so long covered with either a cover or cover of dust, try yo keep it out of direct sunlight. I have had half a dozen where the windshields looked fine when first cleaned, but when sitting in the sunnier spots within the showroom, delam quickly followed. The side closest to the windows / sunlight experienced the most rapid onset. Do not think it was heat related, as some of the cars were in public storage that certainly became hot in the summer, but no delam present until the bright light was added. Again, photos of your progress likely would be of interest to many. Enjoy the pursuit!  Marty |

It is in a climate controlled garage and out of the sun. It's on the list to go to Haibeck but, otherwise, it won't leave the house. Good suggestions👍 Mark |

The only markings noted on the blue tinted top...
 Except for this piece of masking tape. I removed the top for cleaning, two days ago. To my knowledge, it's the first time off, for at least 30 years.

A few progress shots...
The first pic shows the interior before being cleaned and leather conditioner rubbed in. The other pics show the results of the first deep cleaning. It responded well to some love...
