Its a prototype for the '90 ZR-1 that used an aluminum big block instead of the Lotus-massaged LT5 small block.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Looking through the list, I honestly don't see that many bright spots. At least, its not the caliber of vehicles that I would expect from GM's own collection.

Oh cool.

In looking for the ZR-2 I found another super C4 that may be up for sale.

The ZR-1 Snake Skinner.

I think they are trying to get rid of cars they can also some day buy back.  They are saving lots of the 1 off prototypes and other goodies like that.

I saw (part of) this collection in person last year and it's quite amazing.  Lots and lots and lots of 1 of a kind vehicles.

The prototype corvette section they have is pretty big... :D

If I had the money, I'd be interested in some of those retired race cars, but other than that, while I'm sure a lot of them are great cars, old GMs don't really do it for me.

so i heard recently that the cars they auctioned off weren't actually real or they had more than one...
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

During the auction they kept saying that it was just to clear out a few vehicles they didn't want; to make room for some new ones.

Wasn't ZR2 a trim level for the Blazer?  I seem to recall my cousin having a Blazer that had "ZR2" in big letters on the side.

That's a terrible reason. History is history, damnit - build another room for more cars rather than get rid of them. Equally as disappointing, the Ford concept car auction was one of their worst decisions in recent memory.

Oh my.  I can assemble quite a wish list from that auction.

1970 Olds 442 W-30 :wub:
2001 Blackhawk :wub:
1993 Camaro ZL-1  :wub:
Pretty much all the Corvettes and GTOs and everything made before 1940... :wub:
