Re: ebay drm zr1 (Bans25)
Last ride, I also went from a 78' to the ZR-1
Past vettes were
87' Vert,
78 SA
90 Z..
Z is my favorite by far!, but I did like the look of the 78' SA...

Re: ebay drm zr1 (Last Ride)
These cars can get expensive fast. Protect yourself--take the car to Marc Haibeck in Chicago and pay him a fee to look it over. PUT THE CAR ON A DYNO!!! Make sure the 368 is still there. You are buying it for the extra performance. I love this particular car. I have a photo of it on my computer and wrote the seller off of autotrader a while back but got no reply. It has everything I would like to do to a ZR-1. But I would make sure it is all there. I was looking at a LPE 368 a while back but it only dyno'd at 398 rwhp. My stock 350 dyno'd at 390 rwhp. You should see in the vicinity of 425 on an older 368.

Rough,rough,rough!
I have been looking at this car as well. I emailed the seller (he had stated that he might be interested in a trade), but have yet to hear back from him. The above comment has me concerned, however. From the pics, it looks pretty clean! All the mods are tasteful, and would save me money from doing them myself in the long run.
Hell its a DRM 368...even if it needed a bit of cosmetic work its still a good buy.

Yeah man where is the rough rough rough comming from?
If that car is rough I guess im in trouble with my 90 with 41,000 on the clock now!
I think that car looks great from the pics, If you have a car you are going to drive it is going to get a few defects here and there, I will never own a car that is to sit in the garage and never get driven! some people do or a weekend car thats ok but when you look at this car with over 30,000 miles I would be throwing the
up if there wasnt some kind of paint issues on the front, that would mean repaint! If this car is set up for racing and probably was raced, the car is not going to be perfect, and for the price if it has the 368 it is well worth it, the motor has had something done to it mainly paint and most owners wont come close to pulling a cam cover on their own so someone did the worK!Does anyone have a dyno sheet from brazilfree??
or from this car in general?

rough. It was turquoise. The car on Ebay is Turquoise NOT TEAL.
I know I had a turqoise ZR1. Maybe it's the wrong pic. And it says
nothing about the car being a DRM car. If that is the car, it is rough!

the one these guys are talking about is in a link that bans25 posted its a blue one not the teal as the original poster had said and thats why I posted that other one as it was the only"teal" car on ebay at the time.

Re: ebay drm zr1 (phrogs)
considering how much it would cost you to get a 368 mod. done by a pro shop it seems like a great deal even if it is a tad rough...the quart of oil every 700 miles would be a biger concern to me though!!!

Re: ebay drm zr1 (Last Ride)
Nice to see everyone has some interest. I don't have a dyno but have been speaking with someone up the road about doing one. Not to prove anything just want to know the numbers. As to the power diff between stock and mine.. as I have had a 90 , I think it is safe
to say it is what it is. Also if one reads the paperwork from DRM it states DRM "BLACK" LT5 368cu 500 horespower $20.000 (which was after discount due to the total package). The copy of this is on ebay in a pic. It is a nice vehicle and if I don't sell it fine.. just looking for another toy

A quart every 700 miles on a 90 with no exhaust valve guide seals doesn't seem like a big problem to me... I have seen a quart disappear in 300 miles before... and that motor is still running good at 80K+ miles as far as I know...
Before writing it off... if your serious... have a compression check run on the motor... that should tell you something about the condition of the rings and valves...
It took over 2000 miles for my 91 to use a quart... but I have valve guide seals...

Re: ebay drm zr1
Well, I went for a drive in this beast this afternoon. I must say, I am pretty impressed! First of all, I have only driven one other ZR1 that was stock, and I can personally put to rest any doubts that the motor is not a 368; it most definitely is! Second, the car was not cleaned up, but it was still in petter shape than I expected it to be in. The paint does have some minor flaws, but even the worst of those is only apparent when standing right in front of the vehicle. I put in a call to the finance company, and if all goes well, I hope to have this car in my garage by the end of the week! If things don't work out, Danny (brazilfree) is a heck of a guy and I am sure he will have no problems finding another buyer (if that is REALLY what he wants, lol). Will keep you all posted.

Re: ebay drm zr1 (solid dobe)
I posted the question in the first place. Sorry I was not well-versed in posting links. :bb I will do better in the future. You all were most informative, as a matter of fact it reminded me of an old man who lived in my neighborhood when I was a kid. If you needed something done to your car, just show up at his house complaining that you did not understand the instructions or did not have the right tool, and before long, he would say, "weeeeelllll.... let's take a look at it" then before you knew it, he had it perfectly installed or whatever was needed. (a treasure to a bunch of broke teenagers) So thanks for all the great info. and Brazilfree please let us know on the forum if the car sells, 'cause if it does not I finally have my financing arranged!

Solid Dobe , I have learned never to worry too much about what some folks say on this site. Most are very helpful and have tons of knowledge. The others are just learning or know too much.

Re: ebay drm zr1 (brazilfree)
Well, financing went through for me, now expect them to call you to meet with you and "verify the VIN". Hopefully, we can get the details worked out as per our conversation. I don't want to get too excited yet, but the hurdle of the financing is finally behind me! I don't know what excites me more, the car, or the fact that my wife actually LIKES it! In any case, if everything checks out on your end, Danny, then consider the car sold to me! Thanks again.

Re: ebay drm zr1 (Last Ride)
I have waited as long as I could stand it, were you able to get the car? If you did, I assume you have not been able to get out of it long enough to post and that is certainly understandable. Have some mercy on the rest of us with an update on how great the car is to drive.

Re: ebay drm zr1
Update--
Well, this weekend was a no go as neither schedule permitted it. The inspector should take a look at the vehicle tomorrow. Then the paperwork will be finished, and we are shooting for a hook up/ exchange towards the end of the week. I already have plans to use the car this weekend, so I hope it pulls off smoothly, lol!
