ZR-1 Convertibles
Happy New Year all. There was a post on another forum requesting photographs of convertibles.
I have collected these shots over the years. The two photographs of yellow cars are of different cars. The '89 DR-1 inspiration is included for reference. There were also narrow body preproduction convertibles built from what I understand. George |

Re: ZR-1 Convertibles
They are all wide bodies. The first two had been posted for sale at some point. Both in Europe. The third started life as a std. convertible car, was widened and received a Jeff Jeal built motor. I do not recall where I got the fourth photo from. But you can almost read the card to the left. Last photo I took at the NCM many years ago.

Re: ZR-1 Convertibles
very cool. thanks George. we can add a white 90 to the list. so far this post you started here is the most complete list ive seen. the dr-1 also should be here right? it was black / red. though my understanding is that it wasnt really finished in that it did not have a functioning soft top. that is only what ive read, it may not be true.

Re: ZR-1 Convertibles
The last photo is of the DR-1 before it was sold to a private party. The DR-1 has a later motor in it, not the original.
Below is the Spider before is fell down a hole. Also the VIN for the DR-1. And a build sheet for another 1989 Z convertible in addition tot he DR-1 with EX number written on it. I can not remember exactly what Callaway built. I do not recall Caravaggio having done conversions. Good luck with your new car. George |

Re: ZR-1 Convertibles
HI George!!
Isn't the Yellow one the other George's car? Ed did that conversion right? How many years ago did we meet at Del Rhea's Chicken Basket?
