Very cool Frank. And although these little side bar stories of the king are short at least they are still getting their due.

Re: ZR-1 Makes the grade.
Slow and grudging recognition for one of the finest examples of the marque.
Dave McLellan deserves great appreciation for the risk. Took balls. |

 The atmosphere was so right with the pathetic power that was being produced coming out of the 70's and early 80's and things came together with the right group of men to make it happen. I don't think it will ever happen again.

Re: ZR-1 Makes the grade.
Dave's entire career was banked on the ZR1. Dave had lots of confidence in Mercury Marine and Lotus. The man does have a set of swingers , most sucessful busness people do.

By visually looking at all 57 cars, there are way more fuelie cars nowadays than there ever were built by Chev.(1500)-250hp and 283hp versions. The 250hp wasnt so bad, but not worth the extra 5 hp over the dual quad. I am biased though lol

Re: ZR-1 Makes the grade.
#7 was one of my favorites,too. I sold this 57 Mad to help pay for my 90 ZR-1.
Have always regretted selling it.
