Corvette ZR1 limited to top Chevrolet dealers
December 31st, 1969
GM will limit the number of its Chevrolet dealers set to receive the new Corvette ZR1 to just 338 showrooms out of the 3,932 Chevy dealers across the U.S. Only dealers with proven sales records for the Corvette are being included in the new ZR1 project but with most expected to receive just one or two cars demand will be high.
Dealers are already receiving dozens of orders for the new ZR1, which starts at $105,000. Owners will be able to take pride in the knowledge that they’re driving the fastest Corvette ever made, with a 0-60mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 205mph already tested in the Chevy supercar.
GM hasn’t revealed production numbers for the new ZR1 but the final figure is expected to be small to help maintain exclusivity.
Part of the reason many dealers have missed out is because those that are included in the program will have to pay for special training and equipment to service the car – something many smaller dealers can’t afford, reports Automotive News.

same thing happened with the GT-R, the same is true of the Viper, and ford has always only lost SVT vehicles to dealerships with staff trained to sell them and mechanics trained to work on them.
Typical.
Besides, If farmer joe out in north dakota has 105 grand to blow on a ZR1, hes got the couple grand it will take to spend a couple days in Fargo's only ZR1 certified dealer.

I thought the car was sold out already .I wonder if the engine will go on sale in later years
By chris #3, Posted: 6/24/2008
there was something about a certain number of pre-orders selling out wasn't there?
I suspect you could get this engine as a crate engine within 2 years or so.. but I also suspect that if you were to bother, there would be better engines to race with.. especially from ford and GM's racing devisions. of course, nothing *quite* as powerful, but better suited for kit cars, that's for sure.
