Word on the local Corvette forums is someone is locked into a ZR-1 for $175K!!
It's NOT the serial #1 that Barrett-Jackson says it has on the line but it may be a hype to drive up the price??
How f'n stupid can you be??

tradionaly since the 97 C5 all #1s have been auctioned off by the NCM.....
The 1st 97 coupe, 1st 98 vert, and the first 99 FRC are in a collection in OH.
At least the proceeds benefit charity.
(after B-J get their cut, I'm sure)
