It's a bit laughable, be interesting where the author of the book came up with the dollar amount.

I took a picture of it a while back, it's from one of those Corvette coffee-table books.

Well they were going to make a ZR1 Convertible, but due to complications it never made it to production

Yes that is from NCM. It was taken Oct of 2001. That was the last time I was there

The article implies that it was available, it never said "here was the price it's going to be - but they never made any".

Sweet! I gotta go there someday!

I like the color. Looks great!

It looks like it does not have the wider rear.

Seems like a couple of years ago, someone found one minus engine and sort of crushed in Germany. The frame was OK so they were going to restore it. I remember reading about it, but never heard anything again.

But that may be from the days when I was flat out pissed at Chevrolet for abandoning the C4 and building the C5.

I know, I know; but I don't buy anything just because of some words or symbols on the hood... Now an LT5 vert would be flat out kool.

I am going to borrow a scanner and try to post the page in my Chronicles book that shows Jerry Palmer's Pinkish/Purple ZR1 Vert. He calls it his "Mean Machine". :laughing:

Those wheels!

I don't know about you guys, but I really like those wheels on "The Mean Machine". I'd rather of seen those as standard on base models from '91 to '96 than those bland turbines.artyon:

Mean Machine wheels

I noticed the Corvette emblem in the center of those. I wonder if they are a GM designed wheel? If so, I can't believe they didn't go with them. At least on a Later model ZR1 or the GrandSport. The recessed, angled spokes give the wheels a more authorative style in my opinion. By the way everyone, I love this site!
I can't wait to get some real info on the C6.:thumbsup:

Is it just me or are the 84 to 87 the worst wheels made for Corvettes?

I totally agree. The wheels were the first change on my '87 when I had it. The stock wheels lasted a couple of weeks.

Hmm, take off the top and the rear glass, cut the bar off and voila a convertible ZR1. See real simple :laughing:
