Corvette ZR-1 rolling chassis to be auctioned from GM Heritage Collection



Racers, hotrodders and collectors could all be eying the platform
The fund-raising process of auctioning off much of the contents of General Motors' historic Heritage Collection of cars hits a potential high-note, at least to a do-it-your-selfer's eye, with the sale of a Corvette ZR-1 rolling chassis. Though the exact state of the chassis isn't known, it does appear to be complete with a 6.2L supercharged LS9 engine.
Full suspension, wheels and tires and a very minimalist amount of interior elements sum up the remainder of the included equipment, but that won't stop hotrodders and customizers the world over from heading to the Barrett-Jackson auction where the chassis will be sold.
The auction materials indicate the car may not be titled or licensed, however, hinting that it may be a pre-production vehicle or even a display-only model built for use at the 2008 Detroit Show as part of a technology showcase. Nevertheless, if it is structurally sound, it could become the basis for a very fast race car or track-day special.
Analysts have not yet ventured guesses as to what the chassis might bring at auction, but the market will shake the matter out once the gavel comes down next week.
