Long Island ZR-1 owner from 1994-1995 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Stingray1967 · 01-30-2020

Hi gang. I just recently bought a '94 white/black ZR-1 that shows the original dealer was Ramp Chevrolet in Port Jefferson Station, NY. (Long Island area)

I'm curious if anyone remembers who might have had the car back then. It looks like it was only in New York for the first year of its life and then it went to PA.

It was originally a 2 top car with the blue tinted roof. Car was born December 7th, 1993. Car # 103.

Any leads appreciated.

For those of you that have old ZR-1 Registry magazines, can someone look in a few copies of that for me and see who might have had the car registered somewhere between 1994 and 1999? I know the history starting in 2000.

Ramp Chevrolet is long gone. Ramp Chevrolet had Dennis and Carmen they're lead mechanics that became owners of the now Vette Doctors located in Amityville . Ramp Chevrolet sold a large amount of ZR-1's and modified quite a few back then.

I just watched the video that Lee posted about the 1993 Thunder in Stillwater. Is Larry Merow still with us? Founder of the ZR-1 Registry from Long Island?

I'm sorry to hear that.

Anyone else from the Long Island area that might know the car?

Unfortunately no one I know from Long Island. Too many are gone. Although that car probably went through Dennis Hemmerly's hands at Ramp Chevrolet. Dennis now owns the Vette Dr's in Amityville.

What are you trying to learn about the car?

In June of 2001 that car was owned by a guy named Darin Divinia who was living in Greenville, TX at the time. By 2005 he had moved to Red Oak Texas.

I just like history. I would love to know who ordered the car new, and where it went from there. That's all.

Thanks, I have the history from when he bought it to current. Just missing the first few years.
