That is an avid collector of Zs for sure. In for the pictures, if you can get them.

Are they for sale? If yes might be interested in all of them depending on miles and price.

Wow, time capsule Ruby! Why do I get the feeling all of those are ultra low mileage. Red guts on the GS, I bet. 6 ZR-1s and a GS vert. The man had excellent taste.

^^Well since the guy is dead, I doubt that he is wishing for anything. People owns these cars for different reasons and get their enjoyment out them in their own way. Different strokes theory.

I believe this is the same person who called me a couple of times a few months back. He was planning on selling all of them. They all have low miles but not ultra-low. He drove them all frequently.I don't recall his name, but a likable old gentleman.

I remember sveral years ago a guy was buying ZR-1’s as an investment for the future. Kind of wonder if that’s him?

Initially and for a long time he wanted to sell as a set....I think that was a major factor in them not selling...still haven't been able to arrange a viewing.

Update; still have not viewed, but have some info as follows

MY'90 Red/Red 5k on the clock
MY'91 Black/Grey 13k on the clock
MY'92 Red/Black 9.5k on the clock
MY'93 Ruby Anniversary 3.5k on the clock
MY'94 White/Red 7.5 on the clock
MY'95 Red/Red 1.9k on the clock*edit Red/Black*

Some are not running, working with the seller to view, and I may help him get them in shape to sell.
