Somehow over the past few years I've collected quite a few suspension parts from different Corvettes, so it's hard for me to recall the exact year. But I took the part numbers and have them a quick search.
The rotors are 12"
I *believe* the first pair are 1991-1996. The part number that I looked up (14035700) is located on the center of the knuckle.
For the second set, the part number (10098163) is located to the side of the knuckle. I believe these assemblies are from 1984-1990.
I could be wrong, so please double check this if you look up the part numbers yourself.

I hate to be "Donald Downer" but the set that was exposed to the fire may have unseen damage. The alumium may be brittle now due to the hardness may have changed. enough heat to melt the wiring harness and bushings may change also warp the rotors...just something to consider...

Also Adding
The set W/O the ABS provision is either an '84 or '85. Haven't looked up the part numbers but another way to tell would be by the size of the brake bolts. In '85 GM increased the size of the brake bolts as they figured the '84's were too small. These will NOT work with newer models ('86 or '87) due to the lack of provision for ABS. In '88, they changed the geometry all together.
If they're '85, someone may be able to use them if they want to upgrade their brakes as the C5 brake adapters require the larger bolts (I believe the smaller bolts simply may not be able to handle the shear stress by the bigger brakes). If they're '84, then they're only valuable to someone that needs to replace or wants an extra set.

Thank you for you input! Very useful info.
I'll have to check the size of the bolts for the exact year.
I have done a visual inspection of the fire-victim assemblies and compared them to the other assemblies. They appear to be OK.
Local pick-up here in Saugus MA is preferred, as I would like the potential buyer to do their own inspection.
I've had some interest locally for these. Mostly people that are looking for a custom suspension setup for their custom projects. One in particular has completed this swap into a 1940's Plymouth, and has started a new project recently.
