I was going to post the exact same thing but didnt want to start a whole thing on "matching numbers". They show no paperwork or stamp pads in any of there ads. They charge a $1300ish fee on top of the auction price. Come on. The worst part is they might have a great car but statements like that, in my opinion, might turn off buyers. Every seller of any high dollar car should show the engine pad since that's what makes it high dollar.
Nice car. If its original born with drive train? Great car. Same with there L88 they have up there.

anyone contemplating buying a ZR2 will be extremely knowledgeable via himself or a representative.. you don't negotiate the definition of matching numbers with these people. Both sides will probably have teams of lawyers representing the transaction.

Honestly, what's the attraction here? I'll be the first to admit that a stock C3 BB is a crappy riding, crappy handling, crappy gas mileage, crappy build quality antique. For half to a third of that asking price you can buy a C7 Z06 or late ZR1 that won't get its backside kicked by some teenager driving a ricer.
Outside of being someone's dust magnet, what's the attraction?

or something that does not depreciate 2000$ a month, or cost thousands to fix if something breaks?
on the other hand.. $25K in sales tax to transfer the title on a ZR2 has to be taken into consideration.
logical comprehension of owning a 6 figure car is beyond most of us. its just plain nuts. Its money down the drain that these multi-millionaires can easily afford.

Is the ZR-2 as significant as the L-88s... Especially those with race history? Probably not, but then the going rate of a ZR-2 is considerably less than the cost of an L-88 too. An L-88 with significant race history is a multi-million dollar car these days.
The price of this car is actually much less than other ZR-2s which have sold recently... THAT would lead me to have some concerns.
