1972 ZR1 corvettes

[Justbad Joe]

Does anyone have the list of 20 vins for these cars?

I would contact Drew Papsun, he posts here every once in a while but is also an NCRS member. I don't think he will give out vins but he is a great guy and will help you if he can.

Ed Foss owns them all....

Actually, Ed owns a bunch of them and I believe he has some VIN's for a few he doesn't own. I nearly bought one in 1977 that came from Mancuso Chevrolet in Skokie, IL and was back for sale with them. I thought the ZR1 was the ZL1 option back then, they educated me when I went to look at the car.

I don't believe there is a comprehensive list of all of them since they weren’t built in a batch. Pro Team has a green '72 for sale and Kevin S. has a '72 red/red on his site.

I think Kevin M. just finished restoring one and Corvette Center in CT is restoring another. Both, if I'm not mistaken, are Ed Foss cars. What an amazing collection!

There is a fellow in my town here, that has an unrestored low mile original. He may be someone to contact about the others. I can PM his phone number.

Tim,

He brought the ZR1 to MCACN for Legend Judging. The car is absolutely fantastic. Completely original survivor with original tires. Extremely low miles. What a car! Ed

[SBR]

Tim, your friends ZR1 is the best one there is!

That would be Al Wagner. Al is on eof our MCACN judges and he is also helping us with a very special group of 1971 LS6 Corvettes that will be a part of our &quot;Class of 1971&quot; Invitational display at MCACN this year.

Speaking of Ed Foss, Ed will be showing an amazing all new driveable C3 sideways-cutaway Corvette built by Kevin McKay and his crew, along with several other ultra low mile '71's. This is not the L-88 Kevin showed a few years back, but an entirely new one that is shown &quot;sideways.&quot; You will have to see it in person to understand!

Are you interested in a 15,000 mile 71 LT-1?

[mockingbird812]

Eww! Do tell! Photos too!

[Newman]

Forgive my ignorance but what did the ZR1 option entail in 1972?

That car was bought at Bachrodt's right here in Rockford if I remember correctly. I agree - a fantastic car.

Here 'ya go . . . . . about 10 years ago I had an itch for a 1968-72 chrome bumper Corvette and went to look at a '70 that was advertised as simply &quot;1970 Chevrolet Corvette 350 4-Speed $7500&quot;. Well, I get to the alley garage where the car is and I immediately notice the big LT-1 hood on this Steel Cities Grey car. I think that's nice and as I'm walking up I see the big Holley and factory aluminum hi-rise intake manifold! I stick my head in the window and there IT is on the console, 350-370 HP. Wow . . . . this car is an LT-1 I think to myself and to the fellow that had owned it for the last 20 years it was simply a &quot;350 Corvette&quot; that didn't even have air conditioning! Incredibly, I passed on the car because of a severe case of frame rot right in front of the back wheels. I mean the car actually looked really good but I would have been afraid to even put a hydraulic jack underneath it because it was so bad. Anyway, I turned a buddy on to it and he was the one who discovered the special brake calibers on it and the ZR-1 heritage. Some people call these cars &quot;the small block L-88's&quot; and I kinda missed out on this one slipping right by under my nose.
