Hard to say but get the VIN; It should be different from the regular Vette's VIN. It might be unique like the pattern used on the series of number "ones" used on the new ZR1. Last I heard there were at least 3, or 4 of them.
Also does it have a LT5 motor. Think there were some Pilot '88 ZR-1s loaned to Press etc but I don't think they were orange...but Blue??
If his '88 Vette is close to original as it came the from factoyry then your friend might want to join NCRS and get it certified/judged, which will incrase value, IMHO. http://www.ncrs.org/
NCRS is a great source of info and excellent people to help with restoration to original factory condition.
