Interesting EBAY ZR-1....Sort of

[-=Jeff=-]

the anniversary 92s where different colors.. the white/red, black/red and I recall a couple colors with silver stripes..

I looked at them back then but bought a 92 bird instead, which later was traded for my first vette

I think your right, and I do remember seeing some with silver stripes and different colors. I had a 1979 Z28 that was a sleeper, wish I never would of traded it in on a 1992 Thunderbird Super Coupe. THAT was a mistake!

Those huge C4 brakes, that I think they advertised as being able to change out at the track in under 10 minutes. If you don't have the lowest mileage, showroom fresh 1LE's I've ever seen, I don't know who does lol!! Maybe one or two in the GM's stables. Do you get to drive them much?? And were all the 25th Annis white with Red? I swore I saw one back in the day that was black with red stripes.......

Thanks!!! If you ever decide to look for one let me know and i'll help you oit! I do drive each to car shows and cruise nights. I have put 500 miles on each since I took ownership of them over the last two years. May not sound like much but each has been on a fall foliage cruise that is 100+ miles long and I drive them in a spirited way like intended

That is correct, they made white with red, black with red, purple with silver, and red with black.

There are definitely others with lower mileage out there but I enjoy driving them a bit and the sub-1000 mile examples are kind of tough to feel good about using. I try to keep mine as clean as any of those the best I can.

Purple with silver stripes. That has to be a rare color combo. Were any of those 1LE's? If I were to ever look for one, it would have to be as nice of an unmolested original as yours. Just like you I'd want to use them, with a lively drive every now and then! Well it is good to know a true 1LE aficionado as you if I ever start looking. But the real question is, would you trade all your gorgeous 3rd Gens in for one 91/92 Firehawk lol??

Yes, believe it or not they made two total 1LEs plus the Z03 option in purple. One was a 305 stick, the other a 350 automatic. The 305 car has been confirmed to go to a junk yard, the 350 car has about 70k miles and I know the owner, he plans to put it up for sale at some point this season.

I totally would! I'd even consider trading my Callaway for one. I have always wanted one, I need to get one at some point

And thanks to everyone else who posted pics of their thirdgens, love to see them, very nice!!

Hmmmmm you know the owner and he is thinking of selling huh? For me, driving a purple car just would be tough lol....but being one of two 1LE's in that combo, plus being of the 350 variety. I think I could get past the color. And you have a Callaway as well???? Twin turbo or just Call away modded Vette? When I lived in Florida, a guy I worked with at Disney of all places, had a 1988 twin turbo Callaway. He blew the radiator and it was some crazy price to fix it.....

And yes, thanks to all who posted 3rd Gen pics. I wish I could find a pick of my 1979 Z28 sleeper!

Oh holy hell!! That's your Callaway? I have drooled over that car many times on this site, as I'm sure other have as well. You have quite the collection of rare, beautiful machines. I'd SO be interested in that 1LE. I just need to finish paying off my Z this year before jumping into another car payment.....But damn, one of one!!!!!
