Total Colors by Year

NOTES:

• In 1993 there was 1 Black Rose Metallic ZR-1 made with white interior. The car was built for Bill Kay Chevrolet in Downers Grove, IL.
• In 1991 5 Black ZR-1's with Steel Blue interiors were built.
• In 1994 two one of a kind ZR-1's were built. One was an Admiral Blue with Red interior production #443 (current owner Bill Cherry of Dallas TX) was built special for the owner of Kerbeck's Chevrolet, the second was a Competition Yellow with Red interior (also currently in TX.)
• In 1995 it is rumored 2 ZR-1's were Yellow/Red.
• It's rumored that on 4/23/91, a special color 1991 ZR1 was made for a dignitary - WA-9795 Green/gray.
• In '93 the plant switched to a new (a two component polyurethane) that was typically applied thicker than the previous flavor... The peel appearance is due to the paint technology change. The 2 component paint has a longer wavelength (wider) peel than the previous 1 component, which was quite short (tight).
• In the book All Corvettes are Red, it mentions that 10 or 12 ZR-1 narrow body spyders were built. Some had DR-1 on the license plate in honor of Don Rukle the executive. He was presented with a silver ZR-1 convertible with a yellow interior built by ASC and Chevrolet at Bowling Green.
• In 1992-93 GM started running out of the Birmal heads. They found another manufacturer, Dunn, to make heads for the ZR-1. As GM ran out of Birmal heads for the 1994-95 production model of the ZR-1 they started installing the new Dunn heads except they ran out of the left side Birmal heads first so some '94 ZR-1s have the new Dunn heads only on the left side. Eventually GM started installing Dunn heads on both sides but only later built '95 ZR-1s got Dunn heads on both sides:

For '95 cars:
All '95 cars have the Dunn heads on the left side: #10225121
Most of the '95's still have the Birmal heads on the right side: #10174390

Most of the '94's still have the Birmal heads on the left side: #10174389
In '94 is when they started installing some of the Dunn heads on the left side: #10225121

For '91-93 cars:
