Gem ZR1???
We were driving home from the Staples Center tonite (damned Clippers lost!) and saw a BEAUTIFUL 91 Steel Blue ZR1! It was just stunning.
The car had a vanity plate that read "GEM ZR1." Is that anyone around here?
I wish I had pics, but no camera and poor light.
If you are here, we were in our old Jeep tonite! It runs (bastet's doesn't) and has heat (mine doesn't!). We let you in on Flower.

I don't understand, so you were driving by the owner's house and the garage door was open? Or what?

It lives down in the South Bay somewhere... we followed it down the 110 quite a distance. Either that, or it was heading for the 405 and that means anywhere.
I was hoping someone knew the car or the owner was a forum member.

The guy who bought it from her lived in Virginia and he had it up for sale last year. It was on my short list until I found the current LT4. It was listed on the ZR1 site but the last time I recall seeing it there was last Fall.

Most recently, she bought her 1987 back.

steel blue is an interesting colour... it's not quite blue, it's not quite grey. The colour changes with lighting and such. They are not as blue as the picture implies.
