| Spectacular 1972 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 with 16,295 original miles, original engine, drive train and original interior, saddle leather. The car was restored in mid 1980's and was repainted with laquer paint to its original color of Elkhart green. The paint on the car, from the 1980s still presents itself spectacularly. This is a numbers matching car and one of the rarest corvettes with only 20 cars made in 1972 and this is the best of the best. The 1972 ZR1 was displayed in the Bloomington Gold Special Collection XV in 1999. It has been in my collection since that showing. The ZR1 cars are the rarest small block corvettes ever built. The rarety and the numbers of the ZR1 cars are only rivaled by the twenty 1967 L-88's and we all know that the 1967 L-88's are out of most peoples budgets. As a collector, the most you could ask for is to find the rarest and the most original car that is available, this car is over the top in the category of rarety and it has the special ingredients of its low mileage and originality that puts it the highest level of collectibility. Documentation: Original Corvette Order Copy (Tank Sticker). In 1970 Chevrolet Corvette introduces to the racing world a new street racing machine. This racer was dubbed the ZR-1. Production was limited to 1970, 1971 and 1972. All together for 3 years, ZR-1 corvettes totaled 53 cars. There were 25 cars built in 1970, 8 cars in 1971 and 20 cars built in 1972. ZR-1's were specifically equipped with all the heavy duty racing equipment that had been used in the L-88 corvettes of 1967, 1968, 1969. The ZR-1 package could not be ordered with any creature comforts i.e. air conditioning, power steering, radio or special trim items like PO1 wheel covers. The ZR-1 cars, as best we can determine, are the rarest SMALL BLOCK corvettes ever produced. The 1972 ZR-1 has the same production (20) as the rarest 1967 L-88, 20 units. In fact, all the ZR-1 cars are about five times rarer that all the L-88 cars in 1967, 1968 and 1969. Introduced in the 1970 model year, the first ZR-1 was given NO pre-production hype - NO road tests in exotic locations, NO "leaked" photographs, NO engineering details. Nothing. The car was on its own and only because Chevrolet was not involved in racing. But the corporate back door was wide open, especially if the GM brass was not looking. Out of that back door came the 1970 ZR-1. Based on the L-88 chaises, the small-block-powered racer was something of an enigma. How could you sell such a car if no one knew about it? Well with racers being what they were (and are), the information slowly leaked out, and 25 fortunate owners tested the very first ZR-1 (Zora's Racer 1). That's right, they were created, named and championed to be the innovative "Zora Duntov", corvettes leading engineer. Color codes from the owner. Built date is C22. 16,295 miles. June 6, 2010. |
