As long as you get the right suspension option the pieces are normal c4 stuff, the doors are different so hopefully that one could be repaired.

your looking at this car

I figure it will sell for at least 10K somtimes the bidders go crazy on a ZR1 and this one is in pretty good shape higher miles but not a hard fix at all I dont know why they totaled it.

Id love to get it and part it out and I might











This is what happend to the last red 90 I got my hands on!

Yes that is the car,and yes,if the bidders get crazy/stupid I see 10K plus but not from me ! I just want it to drive and play,cant afford a newer one and you never know,got my 95 for a good deal,it happens sometimes.Although I have to admit,watching the cars coming out of Katrina I am truly amazed what people will pay for scrap metal with a corvette emblem on it. I guess I will watch and see,you got any 91 up builders for sale ?

Is the whole door different or just wider I would guess ? Car looks too good to part,although resale is probably killled with the salvage.

The door itself is wider, Im not for certain but the outer skin is probably different than a regular door as well


youd be better of finding a complete door than the skin I think...

I know a guy on ebay was selling some door skins but I dont know if they would work on the ZR1...
