Several weels ago I came across a auction in which the people running the Auction claimed that they had a C4 with Zora's name on the title. They claimed it was the only Corvette with a title that had Zora's name on it. I just finished reading 'Zora the legend behind the Corvette." In the book it talks about Zora's first and only Corvette. A 74 big block. That in itself sounded rather strange because I thought Zora believed the small block Chevrolet made the C2 and C3 a better handling car. So what are the facts? Did Zora own a C4 or was the 74 big block the only Corvette Zora actually owned?

Yes, he had a 1989 or 1990 convertible, red with optional hardtop. I saw him driving it around town when I lived one village over in those days.Vice-Chairman (West), Michigan Chapter NCRS

Re: Did Zora own a C4
I read in some Corvette literature that Zora once made a comment about C4 styling when they were first introduced. He said something to the effect that he thought they looked like a potato. I can't remember the book or article I read it in.- Top

To say that he did not like the styling of the C4 would be an understatement.

Re: Did Zora own a C4
Judging by the public sales records I would say mitchel stood alone in his beliefs. over 51,000 sold in 84 (Ok it was a long year )but with 30,000 plus units sold in the next three years at a base price of $27,000 1980's dollars the public sure felt different then Bill Mitchel. Then the ZR1 super car built at a whopping $50,000 plus option and over 3,000 being sold I would say the public had a lot they liked about the Lipped frog C4.- Top
