This from the Green/Green LT-1 seller:
Hi,we did have the car inspected and confirmed it was not a real ZR-1 and we are of the opinion it was re-stamped when it was restored as was the inspector.A very nice Stingray for sure,but it's not a real ZR-1.We had the Stingray inspected by an independent Classic car Appraiser who is very knowledgeable.Beyond the engine stampings,there are other indicators that this Corvette is not a ZR-1.ZR-1's did not have radios or shielding on the ignition wires or an antenna.This car has a radio,and you see where the hole for the antenna mount was filled in and painted over.
The M21 transmission,came from a '69 Nova and the rear end date codes are not correct.
It's missing some options/features that a ZR-1 would have.
It does have the right Block stampings and overall,a very nicely restored Stingray which drives exceptionally well and had the performance of a ZR-1,but without any historical data from Chevrolet to prove otherwise,it's not a ZR-1 in our opinion.
The buyer did collect the car,and as far as I know the car is still in our local area.
Kind regards,
David Bruski
