Virtually a new car which participated in Vintage Certification in 2010 @ MCACN and received top honors.

" You could NOT get power windows, power steering, a/c, or even a radio (note the absence of ignition shielding). The 1972 model even omitted a fan shroud as the ZR1 was really not meant for the street."
Interesting. I wonder why you could order rally wheels and T-tops? What's the back story with the car? |

Likewise with the T-tops (Coupe). They only had the T-tops or convertible. The T-top car was structurally stronger than the convertible, so if you were going to go racing it was a better platform to start with. This all goes away once you put a full cage in. That's not to say the convertible wasn't available with the ZR1. It may have been just like you could get a convertible L88.

These are amazing cars, I'd love to own one. They came with J56 brakes, M22 transmission, and F41 suspension.
A few years ago a fellow called me and asked me to look at a '72 ZR1 that was about 50 miles from me. I looked at it and he ended up buying the car. When he called to let me know he was going to purchase it, I told him that if he passed I was prepared to buy it with his permission. We've become friends and that car will be at the NCRS Nationals next week. |

The ZR2/ZR1 and LT1/LS6 cars are quickly becoming my favorite 'final muscle cars' ... What a beast. Dan

I remember seeing this car at MCACN as noted. Sold new right here in Rockford. Lou Bachrodt is still around - just a different address now. Gorgeous car.

For someone to buy that car 47 years ago with some sort of strategy to never title it is interesting . I have friends that have done it the last 20-30 years and I’m doing it with a late model, but that blows my mind to see almost 50 years pass.
It will be interesting to watch the auction unfold or does it get snapped up on the BIN? Good stuff |
