Default Yohb? wrecked/flooded ZRs

Not sure where or when this occurred, saw on Insta. Front end collision and fire :/ Maybe someone recognizes the sticker or wheels ?

Ruined well before it crashed. Hideous cosmetic mods.

Ouch! Hot air rises, but the engine? Must've had a big hit to raise the engine up like that.

Sorry, I have no info about the car. It appears that it is a SODP, ZTK car with some ugly aftermarket wheel.

It sold on IAAI a few weeks ago. I don't have an account so I couldn't see the final price. The supercharger was ripped clean off the engine. It was sitting upside down on the fender. It was BAD. There really wasn't much left to part out.

I've been tracking the ones that I know went through auctions. I think I've got 15 or so on the list.

I'll put up a summary later tonight.

There are 19 that were wrecked badly enough to end up at auction, but at least one was rebuilt and put back on the road recently. I'll tell that story when I put the full list up.

I put this together while I was trying to buy #1710. I've got extensive information on that one. If you bought it, feel free to get in touch with me. The rest are just what I could find through watching auctions and mining various internet resources. There are probably more out there. But hopefully not many.

I've sent quite a few of these through to the ZR1 registry on Corvette Action Center.

#185
Front and rear damage. Engine was missing at auction.

#248
Massive side damage. Parted out on eBay.

#398
Front end smashed, everything missing from the tires forward.

#435
Front and side damage. Looked very fixable. It's probably back on the road somewhere.

#556
Heavy front end damage.

#935
Right rear damage. Very little info on this one.

#1018
Massive left front damage. Frame is trashed.

#1177
Was partially disassembled. Lots of parts missing at auction. Someone's failed rebuild?

#1710
I tried to buy this one. It was spun off the road due to a missed 2-3 shift. Front and rear of the car along with the right rear suspension were ripped off.

#1747
Some kind of fire over the transaxle. Rear tub was cut out to access. Looked like it could be fixed.

#1805
This one was stripped to the bones. Was rebuilt and recently listed on Copart with a $110,000 buy-it-now. Seller ran it through at least 5 times, and it never got above $89k.

#2096
Burned completely to the ground. Nothing left.

#2129
Flood car. No obvious physical damage.

#2137
It's been waiting for auction at Copart for at least a year. Almost completely burned.

#2216
Significant side damage. Looks like it's been sold twice. Second time it had been partially repaired.

#2255
Rear end damage.

#2309
Interior fire. Body was pretty much intact, minus aero. SC cover was sitting weird though. TX cert of destruction. Cannot be rebuilt.

#2345
Front end damage.

#2635
The car that started this thread. Wreck and fire. SC was ripped off the engine. Being parted out on eBay by az_cycle_parts_phx.

Good morning Deb:

This is an interesting thread for sure. I am actually surprised there aren't a lot more (and I know this is only a partial list). I would think more were lost on the track, which I would think many of the buyers took them at some point.

Really interesting though - I wonder how many are actually remaining?

Got another one. #260 up in Toronto. Almost the entire front end is gone. Engine is still there though. The auction is today, so this link may stop working soon.

^^ I seem to remember this car being owned and sold by a forum member a while ago. Shame that it's destroyed. Hopefully the registry will update their info on this car.
