Mine '90 is # 553...Do you think mine was also made today since it was only 13 in front of yours as they were moving down the assembly line? I often think back to those days when I had placed a deposit and had an '89 ZR-1 on order. When they delayed the '89 and I needed a replacement car I got an '89 Caddie instead...It was the only Caddie in Calif in 1989 with licence plate "ZR1 LT5" that I had for my long awaited ZR-1. Finally got the 1st ZR-1 in late '91. An even greater event in my memory was the performance of a '90 ZR-1 in the 24 hour endurance where it took 3 world and 12 international records. Some of the records cited have now been claimed to be broken by Volkswagen with a built a single-purpose car for the effort but, the last I heard, ther're still waiting on FIA certification; you can't go buy one of those cars off the showroom floor!

Maybe...what does your build sheet say for date (located in middle top of the sheet>>  That date is NOT the born date but start of production....but if same or close to same then most definitely a possible same born date. |

Re: Happy Birthday ZR-1>>>
There is also a "build date" typically in crayon (up side down) on the rear bumper subframe. Mine is on the right side. Drop the spare tire tub to see it.
I have never compared that date to my build sheet, will have to dig it out. Regardless all us 1990 Z owners will soon be celebrating.

Re: Happy Birthday ZR-1>>>
The final 'born' date was penciled in on the front left hood (see red arrow) and it was 10 27 89 (it is there just not clear in the pic)...
