NCRS Metro LI meet pics
Sunday 5/31 was Metro Long Island Chapter Meet at Mack Pontiac/GMC. 18 cars were judged, 8 of them being C3's.
Here are pictures of the judged C3's:
Not sure what the judges found inside this car based on the license plate...
I know what this plate meant. Yes, that's a ZR-2!
Beautiful 15K mile Collector's Edition...
Since I have a '73 myself, I stayed on this '73 the whole day as an Observer Judge for Interior, Exterior, Mechanical and Chassis...
I showed my '73 big block in the Sportsman display...
Plenty of other cars on display...
And last, but certainly not least, the 100th Corvette ever built!

The ZR1 option available exclusively with the LT1 is significant for engineering, though not many saw production. It was a special racing package that included the solid-lifter small-block engine, heavy-duty four-speed transmission, power brakes, aluminum radiator, and a revised suspension with special springs, shocks, stabilizer bar, and spindle-strut shafts. Since it was competition equipment, the ZR1 could not be ordered with power windows, power steering, air conditioning, a rear-window defogger, wheel covers, or a radio. But the ZR1 package was quite expensive, and few Corvettes were so equipped.
A similar ZR2 package was listed for the big LS6 engine and was just as rare. Per GM policy, 1971 Corvette engines were detuned to run on low-lead fuel -- save the LS6 454, which belatedly bowed with 425 bhp on premium gas. Installations totaled just 188, including a mere 12 cars with a $1,747 ZR2 package, basically the ZR1 with the big-block V-8. This would be the only year for both the LS6 engine and the associated ZR2 equipment.
