Does this mean some GM guys were playing around with my car in Mesa for a year?

If I remember the sequence, my car was delivered to Mesa as an executive members vehicle, part of the fleet of cars there. The paperwork I received when I purchased the car showed that in 1996 it was sold/auctioned with 10,XXX miles. It supposedly went into a private collection in California, then went into a collection in Wisconsin. In February of 2010 it was auctioned at Barret-Jackson in Scottsdale in conjunction with a 2010 ZR1. I bought it from the guy who won the car at the BJ auction. He really wanted the C6 ZR1 and the '95 was part of the deal. When I bought the car in November of 2011 it had 12,XXX miles and a California title showing that it was first titled in 2010 after the Bj auction. So from 1996-2010 less than 2,000 miles had been put on the car.

The previous owner was very good to deal with, and it even came with the original tires. Funny thing is my '95 was Bright Aqua/Gray interior.

Cool Story! What are the odds that two Bright Aqua/Gray interior cars shared the same unusual beginnings? I think mine was the first 405hp BAM to roll out.. I wonder if yours was one of the last?

Shows

In 1995, they made 7 total ZR-1 B/A / gray interior.
In 1993, they made 5 total ZR-1 B/A / gray interior.


The members only area has a ZR-1 by color and some have went through the 1995 and detailed color with VIN number of every ZR-1 made so you can tell which sequence. I think they did it for 1994 too - not sure about 1993 and earlier being the numbers were higher. The option search does not seem to work in the members area, but I'm sure someone out there has the file to share that data. I imagine that was a pretty big task for QB93Z and Aurora40 to compile that data

Mine was serial #152, so it would not have been one of the last.
