Sounds pretty fishy to me, "Factory ordered Auto", "all performance records lost" and the killer "700Hp on NOS". Talk about a grab-bag auction.

Not Factory.
Not Many.
But yes, there are a few around!

I think this may be Pete's old car, saw this set up at the museum a few years back.

A quick glance at the snapshots reveals some issues but I'd think an interested person should 'inspect'. I see an ASR cover likely goes with the AT conversion.

Ladysmith VA isn't far from many of the NOVA guys - next door almost for 1!

A very long time ago that car was registered on The Registry as belonging to a Robin Jenkins (Shreveport LA)

They messed up his window sticker and accidentally printed "six-speed manual transmission" on his "factory-ordered" automatic ZR-1. Oops.

Sorry,not one of mine.
Unless he bought flexplate from me i would need to look it up must've been long time ago.
1991's didn't have ASR, something not right.

If i remember correctly Boyd Jenkins was a member here.
Frank U, or Ron K. might know more about the car and/or Boyd Jenkins.

Yep but everybody knows all of those including mine were conversations and not Factory supplied. That car is not sporting a 91 engine with ASR. This is a conversation 100%. With paint and other condition issues is questionable as a future purchase. GC

I have seen this car before....in a magazine, a long time ago. If I searched hard enough, I could find it, but it might take "a month of Sundays". In the article, the owner was as you see on the door sill, "Boyd Jenkins". Way back then he had the car modified as an automatic.

It was an old issue of Vette, Corvette Fever, or The Legend. I'd look, but only if someone requested it...not for my own "sh__ and giggles".
