Anyone specialize in 70-72 ZR-1s ?
Not much information on the C-3 versions. I would like a little engineering backround info and components that made them so special.

Besides his article in the most recent copy of the NCRS Restorer, here's a link to Dan's article in Corvette Fever. Good article. I have seen this Vette in person and it is truly a rare car. Enjoy!

Thanks for the thumbs-up, guys... took the '70 out for a "spin" around the block today. Was the first time in a couple months due to fowl weather and a flat rear tire. Just re-shod the back-end with a new set of kicks from TireRack.com, and intend to test the tread longevity of BFG TA's... (just temporary rollers until the full and correct resto begins).
Tony - thanks again for the offer to help re-installing the trailing arms on the '66. Looking fwd to catching up in person soon...

Yeah... need to get a few things lined-up for a new video: recruit a co-pilot, choose a lonely stretch of road and locate the toughest thing to find.... SPARE TIME!!!! I'll do my best now that the weather is drying out...
