Another interessting piece of history in the C4's life: 1 of 84 built ZR1 prototype
83 were destroyed, 1 survived in the fields of Great Britain (there, where Lotus did the job). Rotted it was transferred back in the US in the mid 1990s and built up within 9 years.
Quite interesting: the interior is the boxy style before the round dashboard came with the ZR1 in 1990.
Painted in Medium Blue Metallic with blue interior / blue leather seats. The color is suspicious: I only find this color in 1984-1985 at the C4, and followed the description of the auction, the color was called "Montana Blue" - there is no such called color on any Corvette.
Also I'm not sure about the rims: on the pictures of the destroyed C4 are from 1993/1994 but not the typical ZR1-rims visible like it shows up for auction.
This prototype acrosses the block on Mecum Auctions in January 2026.
