Default '92 DRM 600 with "Minor Engine Problems" FS on the Bay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...=p4506.c0.m245
BuyItNow at $25k.

One minor itsy bitsy teenie weenie tiny little problem with the motor:
Car is in great shape inside and out. No leaks, everything works except recent engine issue.
Missed a shift and is now not running. Not blown, stopped running.



RRRriiiiiiight....


Besides the obvious "Why don't you fix it BEFORE you sell it", the best part is the Q&A's:
My 92 was running like a bear when it just stopped cold. Turns out it needed a new distribitor.

Yea, he isn't telling the whole story IMHO. Check the obvious air/fuel/spark. He hasn't even done that.

Definitely buyer beware. Story through the grapevine as well is it at one point had two alarms installed and the wiring harness was pretty well fubar'd, but was supposedly fixed by the second owner.

Hey guys, Jerry is a member here so take it easy on him. I met him at a car show here last summer and seemed as a real stand up type of guy. Cut him a little slack............... It's far too easy to speculate when you don't have all of the facts.

But, how can you expect someone to kick out $25k on a not running car. Just "it did run nice at one time" WTF.

His wife must be on him to sell, and he does not. See dear no one wants to buy the car.................

I wonder why

Pete, I talked to Randy. He remembered the car, and that's where I got my info from. The original conversion owner lived in NY, and the second owner lives in MN, and the current owner lives in MN.

The following was published in Feb. 1998, and might be of interest re this car. It is not a BLACK WIDOW nor does Jerry even come close to claiming it is. Of the 8 Black Widows made only one (#6) was a '92 red on black ZR-1. The original owner was Dr. Michael Jackson of Garden City KS. Here's the quote from the '98 publication:

"...Since the last "Black Widow" was completed, DRM has gone on to convert ZR-1s into even more spectacular performers. The current top-of-the-line is the DRM 600 Corvette ZR-1, a direct descendent of the Black Widows powered by a 385 cubic inch 550hp engine that takes a mere 3.9 seconds to reach 60mph and just 19 seconds to 150mph covering the quarter-mile in only 11.8 seconds at 122mph. ZR-1 s converted to DRM 500 specifications, similar to the Black Widows, are powered by LT-5 engines ranging from 415hp to 475hp.
In August of 1996 a very special DRM LT-5 motor was tested in the desert at over 600 horsepower which produced 493 horsepower to the rear wheels. Everything learned by DRM has been adapted for application to all the ZR-1, LS-1, LT1/LT4 and L98 Corvettes it converts and to Camaros and Impala SSs. "Can you make me one of these.." resulted in a custom built tube frame chassis Corvette using lightweight stock components; "We know you’re the expert..." brings LT-5 factory authorized motor repairs to the DRM shop; and "Our new product would be perfect if we had your input..." creates more R & D opportunities for the Doug Rippie Motorsports team..."
