eEdit;the rear lic plate area doesnt look right, the script on the vin looks handmade.
can you tell us what size the rear tires are takea pic to see if the fender sticks out a lot or not?



OP is there an air pump below the passenger side headlamp? Or look to be something that was removed and plugged off?
Not buying it that tag looks screwy. some of the letters or numbers did look funky on my 90 but not like that!

does your dash have this, what rpm does your tach go to?

91 vin# I think some of you need to learn what you are looking at. Looking at the pictures he has posted it was indeed at ZR-1. I see wide doors, wide rear quarter panels, wide rear bumper, high rear stop light, FX3 shocks on the front. Back-up lights look right, missing tag bezel, As far as the VIN I have no idea what an export vin looks like.

Default Lt1 can still be as good as an lt5 with some money and work

Someone told him it was a ZR-1 and he probably believed them.

Without the RPO codes or pictures, nobody here will be convinced.


I think what probably happened is what happened to me I run my VIN number on my Durango indifferent carfax's and my engine size was 4.7 some 5.9 at the end I found out it was a 5.9 long story short you need to go to a legit Carfax site
