I will trade photos for applicants who can provide a copy of licence, and residence information. You must be willing to give some personal information to see the car, and some form of ID. If you want to drive the car, you must give a cash deposit, to be returned if the vehicle is undamaged.


Uh, I don't think anyone needs my personal information to look at their car.

Does this mean that I have to drive mine " maturely"?
Gosh, I hope not!

Why certainly one will find lots of buyers for this type of car on craigslist!

I can see them now down at the Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island passing the grey poupon back and forth from their Rolls Royce's as they search through picture less ads on Craiigslist......
and sending copies of their drivers license

Right.

From reading this article, it seems that the active suspension was something that turned out to be not really workable in a production car.

Wonder what happened to the other 24? And with them being prototypes, could they even be licensed? Would the VIN indicate a prototype? A Wikipedia article states that one of those prototypes sold back in 2009 at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $60K plus the buyer premium. And you didn't have to provide ID other than your ability to pay....

Hell, I've driven a buddy's '90 ZR-1 and he never wanted a deposit, or ID, or even a promise that I had to buy beer afterwards. Sure the car's are fast and IIRC it was a '90 (maybe a late 89 pre-production car?) that held the 24-hour endurance speed record but that title is shared by all of the ZR-1's as a model.

Gotta be BS.

The only Active I know that traded to the public was black (sold at the BJ auction a couple of years ago).

If it's real I'll eat my hat.

" 3 active suspension modes"

WOW!!!

Maybe my ZR-1 is also a rare prototype because I have those same 3 settings that I can make "active" via my manual selection of the mode.

I must really have a rare prototype because I also have " select-able"
Horsepower!!!

Maybe I have the "2 rails" option as well and just don't know it.

So I will sell you mine for $250,000.00 because mine was owned by a celebrity " me".

But you needn't bring cash for the test drive.

You must first however wire the full purchase price to my bank

Then you can test it all you want!

Don't forget to offer your tax I'd number and your mothers maiden name so the process will be easier for the seller.
