A rare C7-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 convertible was found down a dirt road in Ontario, Canada with its parts stripped, and how it got there is a mystery.
There are thought only to be three in the country.
However, this model was reported stolen back in August.
Found with everything possible removed, it looks like the model is even rarer and down to just two-and-a-half.

C7-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
According to Canada’s CTV News, the car was reported stolen last month.
However, on Wednesday, 25 September, it turned up torn to shreds on a dirt road in New Lowell more than 100 miles from where it hailed from in Grimsby.
Its ‘Sebring Orange’ shade is the only thing that’s recognizable after its engine, suspension, wheels, interior, and even its doors had been stolen.
How it got there, though, is a mystery with the Niagara Regional Police working hard to track down those responsible.
While a stripped supercar is unprecedented, residents told CTV old furniture and vehicles are often dumped on the isolated stretch of road.
An instant collectible from the day it was released, the C7-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is currently worth between $145,000-$210,000.
