I would have to say . Though I couldn't be sure. Only because the body kit looks nice. But the snake skinner was a ZR-1 package and I believe it was 475 hp. I didn't think it had a body kit either. But like I said. I could be mistaken.

Are you serious??? Well I guess not all Vette owners care about the amazing history of the KING of the HILL, aka ZR-1. For those who don't know who Tommy Morrison is (and might like to know) check out this link http://www.zr1netregistry.com/endurance_epic.htm

I'd heard of this endeavor but had never read of it in so much detail before. An amazing accomplishment and as important as any achievement in the history of the Corvette.

I'd only heard of this in passing before. Good stuff!

Thanks, glad you found it interesting. Here's why I'm such a fanatic on the ZR1s and Black Widows... In VanDorn's Black Widow story he says, "Mr Johnson is the owner of the last "black" LT5 engine to come from within MerCruiser." After Doug Johnson's untimely passing I was able to get his BEAST 2 and am I ever proud to have this small bit of Vette history!

Here's a little more on the car for sale - check out the mileage!!!

http://autoextra.com/vehicledetail/a...ia/wa/do-basic

also:

"Tommy ventured into the aftermarket, building the remarkable "Snake Skinner" that featured special aerodynamic panels, lightweight body and highly tuned LT5 engine."

http://www.corvettemagazine.com/chat...asp?Chat_ID=63

If it is a Morrison car $32K is a good deal even with the miles
