Default Found a ZR-1 (shame)

It's a '94 sitting at a tire/salvage lot in the middle of nowhere. I asked garage employee if it was a ZR-1 or just badges. He had no idea so I had him pop the hood. Possibly a flood car. Exterior seems in good shape but interior is rough. It fired right up and sounded good. No smoke or unusual sounds. Worth looking into?

That is a shame. At a good price, I'd go for it.

From the initial picture it appears that the ZR-1 is Black Rose in color. If it is a 1994, there were only 11 Black Rose ZR-1's built. Rare car - someone needs to rescue it!!

That is the first thing that I noticed.

Someone knows about this car if it has 4years worth of registry stickers.

a clear title.

But what if it has a salvage title? I guess it could be "washed" and at some point a state will issue a clear title, right? But it would still have a checkered past.
