Re: List of Known existing 89s
 

The June 1989 Motor Trend has a top speed article where 2 ZR-1s were tested. The article states that the top speed test car had lowered suspension and a roll cage, as it had been used for GM top speed testing. The other car in the article appears to be the red/red #3 car. Have you come across the roll-cage car in your research?

The top speed was 181!

I read that too. I have an idea on that car. I will post some pictures tomorrow. They had a few with roll cages. Probably the Kim Baker Talledega test car, but I will post some pictures tomorrow. Eric

There were several roll bar prepared pre 1990 ZR-1s that it could be. The one I know of that some members of the press drove is this one:

This is either 1989 #042, #049, or #053

Limbo is the word

Re: List of Known existing 89s
 

Does anyone have anything on P9Y078? It was a UK car. Black with tan interior. I have the trans, rear clip, doors, front and rear bumpers and seats.

Don't know what the vin was though. Does the rear clip framework have a vin stamped in it somewhere?

Re: List of Known existing 89s
 

Brett, I have P9Y078 as a Red/Red leather car. It was VIN 44. (I could be wrong) I have most of the 89 build sheets and I don't see any that match the black/saddle configuration.

There are none from 01 to 17 that match
The 1990 prototype 89s hav P0Y numbers so not in 33 to 39
There are none from 40 to 55 that match
58 does not match
There are none from 61 to 84 that match

So that leaves

56,57,59,60 (Museum could not find these build sheets)
Or one of the actives 18 to 32(not #25 I have this sheet and its white/Gray)

Could it be dark Sapphire Metallic? I have a few France fleet Media cars with Sapph/Tan
