Default 1989 ZR1 Prototype

What is a fair price for an 89 ZR1 prototype? I am interested in this one at Barrett Jackson https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...TTE-ZR1-201422

Actually the prices that BJ shows reflects the buyers premium.

My favorite color for the prototypes. I'd love to have that one for sure.

89s have sold from $50K to $200K over the last 10 years. I can tell you if it is around $50k I may own 3! Given the time slot and rarity of the car will more then likely top $100k. It will be interesting. an 89 has not crossed the block since #004 did back in 2010.


Not many of these exist and only 4 or 5 are in private hands.

#0078 (bottom right) at the NCM in 2010. This was the most 89 ZR-1s in one location since 1990!

Its actually dark blue metallic with ghost flames. It was used by the painting school. it was painted twice. Red.. then Dark blue. Originally it was dark red metallic.

Tyler, I'm doing well, been away from the ZR-1 world for awhile. Been busy letting my ADD take hold. LOL

If I had to guess I would say hammers at $105K, but I have no idea. I have left a bunch of information for the consignor and gave him my number if he wants me to talk to interested bidders. As I have stated before this is the absolutely best 89 in existence. The problem with it is it has very little pedigree. I have never seen a single period picture, article, anything on the car.

0074 was the west coast press car. It was pictured in many magazines etc. Pictured here in Hot Rod June 1990



0078 was also a press car, but I can't find it in any period publications

I bet it will go for north of $200k+

They gave it a Saturday list and it's the only 1989 with an MSO. (Owner was discussing getting the car titled).

Can't wait too see what it'll bring!
