I can tell you that 3032 is the last serial numbered car sold to the public. there is no record of 3033-3049 in the GM Archives. The pilot cars were probably the first non sequenced cars produced and used for all kinds of experiments, mods, driving, etc.... pilot cars are used to make tests, corrections and to iron out gremlins before the cars are sold to the public. they are also used by the press to drive on roads tests etc... they built 3049 cars. 3032 sold to the public. 17 pilot cars. could have been some crash test cars etc... durability testing cars...

I think you car is unique because it is the last 1990 ZR1. do you know your build date?? By the way I would never trade for a 1969 convertible without its original motor. I had a 1969 and I love them but a big block without an original motor loses lots of value. they are a dime a dozen. It is only worth while if you are going to drive the crap out of it or put a 572 big block in it or something like that. You could also build an (original stamped) engine but then you are stuck in the fact that you must disclose what it is when you sell it so the value on that car is very limited. At least get an original engined big block car. Get a 1970 big block car. It is more rare and the last of the high compression.
