Default Here are the pics you want to see, the 1st ZR1 owned by Dave Ressler

Hey guys just walked in from the museum and man what a time I had. Not only did I get to see and meet Mr. Ressler himself but he took me and my son inside the glass display to take a picture with him and the only ZR1 that will be LeMans blue. What a super nice guy he is. He also brought along his 53 that is the oldest Vette on earth. The kicker to the whole thing is that he dont even own the ZR1 anymore he gave it to his 10 month old granddaughter. He said he will never drive it. It will be on display in Montana along with his other 57 vettes. His son in law loaded it up on the custom trailer with the 53 when they left. Everyone had on Ressler shirts and he did some stuff for the museum staff for this one day only event. I am so glad I picked that day to go. Enjoy the pics.[IMG]http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee24/swade03/007.jpg[/IMG]

That's very cool, The first and latest Vette in the same shot. That color looks great, too. And Dave looks a little less glossy eyed than he did at the BJ auction.

I wish every one could have been there. People walking by had no idea what they were even looking at or who they were meeting.

He is probably a great guy compared to the showboater image @ BJ. Glad you showed another side of Ressler.

I'll never understand people who buy a supercar like that and never drive it. It's like having sex without the orgasm. Ridiculous.

I hear ya, but he could probably have three others that aren't numbered #001 to beat the snot out of.

He probably does.

I read in another thread that he has several Chevy dealerships.
