T tops did not have the B4C option only some coup's had it. 17" tire and rim combo added by GMMG ZL1's had the Corvette ZO6 tire and wheel combo compliments of GMMG

Doug.....................not all 2002 ZL1's came with the Corvette Z06 tire and wheel combo...................some of us went with the Cragar S/S or the Fiske wheels................

From the GMMG website:

All 69 cars were B4C coupes with 6-speed manual transmissions except for 2 converted to automatic. Built in March 2002 Roll cages were installed in 28 cars. Three prototypes were: #1-Chevrolet Motor Division #2-Berger Chevrolet and #3-Helen Gibb. Car #1 was built to commemorate Fred Gibbs original ZL1 drag car. Car #69 was a special Phase 4 SR427 built to honor Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins and his ZL1 drag car. 1969 style houndstooth interior was made available and Penske Shocks with 3 different valving options were also available.The 2002 ZL1 was also made available with Z06 style wheels standard or optional Crager SS or Fiske wheels.

B4C was the RPO for fleet law enforcement vehicles on third and fourth gen cars.Basically they shared a few of the elements from the 1LE delete autocross package(sway bars,lower control arms etc..)and were minimally optioned.

Factory RPO WU8 was not available on B4C's during any year of production- potentially one could have been outsourced at SLP though.

So then this car isnt a true SS from SLP
Its a B4C (COPO) H/T then it was sent to GMMG to have the Tom Henry Package done?

Did that include the ZL1 stripe too or was that done at Tom's dealership?
How many other TH cars have that ZL1 stripe?
How many other 380HP cars are B4C's?

The B4c also came with 1LE sways front and rear and 1LE control arms?
I didnt know that?

Anymore info would be nice,I like this car and my buddies thinking of making
and offer

Are we sure the roof is bubbling too?

5 M6 cars cars were B4C's converted to TH 380 SS cars by GMMG.

This is the only NBM M6 Coupe offered w/ the TH 380 SS packge

Yes the roof has bubbles, No the dealership will not fix them (they do not have a body shop) I emailed the dealership they are selling it for a customer who will NOT fix the bubbles for the asking price.

As for the ZL-1 stripe not sure if it was done in house at TH or done 3rd party.

No TH cars came with these stripes several came with the Corvette GS hash stripes but none with the ZL-1 stripe or painted hood scoop.

Hope this helps

So the stripe is NOT GMMG and IMO would have to come off the car to be correct..
As is the painted scoop,bummer on the roof bubbles...

You would think so as they arent GMMG options according to the previous poster....but buy the car, send it back to GMMG for a C5R block and have Matt fix everything to GMMG spec

The only other TH car I really would like to have was the MMM Th 380 SS car loved that color combo.

Someone will get a nice GMMG car.

Yes it’s been repainted but what fender strips are you referring too. They only stripes ever applied were these one you see in the Pic. Tom did this on a few of his.

I had it repainted to get rid of some flaws, and begin showing the car at events. I had extra clear applied so that I could cut it down and eliminate the orange peel effect.
