1990 zr-1 $10k
I ran across this while browsing my local CL. I have no affiliation. Seems like a pretty good deal for the money. I've seen this car around personally at a couple of local events. A little rough around the edges, but appears to be a solid car. First time I have ever seen it for sale though.

Seems like a good deal for someone looking for a fun toy. Since it's local, I checked others and a few more decent deals on the Beasts

From my experience with these old panels, helping a veteran body (including 'glass), this will be difficult.
Depending on what environment the panels lived in, they can shrink and warp. Ask me how I know and how much time jerri put in, especially on the top flat part of that tail, just working it towards perfection as a stock part.
That said, I recall seeing a Shinoda ZR1 online, but don't know what was done aft.

I never heard that two different kits were available. My Shinoda is a modified '84; obviously not a ZR1...
but faster! (insert smiley here)
I find it striking, the similarity of mods done to these two Corvettes; both fast, but with differing engines and characteristics. I waited I'd bought Hib's "Barney".
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am weighing IF my desire for a ZR1 outweighs the cost of keeping peace mit der frau.
