Default Interesting find... 92 ZR1

I was recently browsing the Goodwill auction website and stumbled upon this framed window sticker for a 1992 bright aqua metallic/light grey ZR1. Given the rarity of this car I figured why not buy it and see if I could track down the owner? Long shot maybe but it was too interesting to pass up for $6. Purchased the sticker from a Goodwill in Sioux Falls if that means anything. Cool piece to find nonetheless.

Another note...surprised on the price for these cars in '92! Pricey.

Great find and thanks for trying to reunite with the owner.

You could try posting on ZR!Net. The ZR1 guys hang out there (in addition to CF) and they might be able to point you in the right direction.

A BAM ZR1 is very rare-- great work!

Sorry, not usually on the C4 forums...didn't realize there was a separate ZR1 sub!

Yep, we are all special snowflakes so we need a separate place.

From
Tom Hendricks I remember that car. I think it may have belonged to a judge originally and I believe it is one I sold to a dealer in SD or ND in 93 or so. Been a long time but I bet that's the car. It was one of ours for sure. Where did you find the sticker?

That's awesome! I've searched all over the web with that VIN with no hits. Would be great to find the current owner somehow.

Thanks for the responses guys!

Super cool find! Not everyday you run into something like this haha.

ZR-1's being as uncommon as they are, some of the colors are quite rare, BAM included. It would be super cool to see this window sticker find the owner.

One of the most striking color combos I've ever seen is BAM + tuxedo interior. Was interested in a base '93 a few years back of that combo. I wonder how many (see: how few) ZR-1's were made in that color combo.

Very cool find! BAM is a great color. Here is a 1995 BAM for sale in Florida. A little over 20k miles and only $29,901!

If this car was in Ohio and I had the opportunity to test drive it & give it a once over, good chance I’d trade my LT-4 for it. ZR-1 prices seem to be reasonable / low.

Great find, especially given the price. Would would have thought that it would have ended up at a Goodwill of all places? Hope you are able to track down the current owner.
