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.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
