Default Where are the Z-18's?

Just curious on the value that these 146 copies are holding.

Anyone see one after they shipped? Z-18 production numbers

I've only seen one example on post #5

And this brochure shot

Q. Where are the Z18's?
A. Still somewhere in Europe would be my guess...

That would be my guess too since they were export models to Europe. A few may have come back here, but who knows.

May want to post this in the Other Country Events section and see if you get any responses.

And apparently not very popular over there either: the brochure calls out a limited-production run of 150, but they only built/sold a third of them.


As far as coming back here, easier said than done: the hoops you have to jump through are ridiculous. And you end up with something that is trivial to put together yourself from the parts bin.

Hey Taryn...

Yes, only 46 exported, most went to Europe, couple ended up in Mexico.

In the link by the OP, 'JR Germany' replied in that thread, this is JR in his Z18. He has a number of Vettes, and is a Corvette addict.
