72 ZR1 Vette 1 of 20 built - 311 miles & still on the MSO.

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?

Rally wheels were the "base" wheels in 72. There was a option for full wheel covers but that may not have been available with the ZR1.
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.
