Yikes....

Ummm...let's see:

1. no such thing as a 96 ZR-1
2. 84's didn't have the TPI engine.

This one brings new meaning to the term "asking for trouble". Who knows what you're realy getting.....

There is so many things wrong I don't know where to begin, but according to the VIN it is an 84, the TPI could have been swaped, or just the whole motor.

But he does say it was was "custom built" in Murray Ky!

So "custome built" must be the new way to say "me 'n Bubba cobbled this thang together over a couple'a cases one night"

the engine is a late L98... 1990 or so.

It's been garaged...but there's tale-tale evidence of it being parked under a tree (leaves in the fresh air vents).

Holy Jesus where to start

ZR1 rear body (year unknown)
Early C4 interior
Auto trans
L98 motor
1984 vin number
90 and up front end

My guess is this was a stolen and stripped ZR1
Somebody put it back together using an 84 title (prob got a wrecked 84) and installed the dash from the 84 to get the vin number.

Then installed a L98 motor

I would definatly like to see a car-fax on this one
