For Sale: 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 in Concord, North Carolina

This is a real-deal, numbers-matching, first-year C4 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1. And when a survivor-grade, full-red 375 hp coupe is offered for such an affordable price, well then, you know this deal might not be around long enough for you to finish reading the details.


The Corvette has always been America's version of the European sports car, but the ZR-1 truly merged this attitude. It went to finishing school with the racing masters at Lotus in England, and you could instantly tell this was a special car. Back in 1990, the convex rear end and square-ish quad taillights were exclusive to the "King of the Hill." And because this was the first year for the ultimate Corvette (it cost nearly double of the standard car) its collect-ability has been firmly established. That's why it has been treated with respect all its life, and the factory original red still retains a bright gloss and shine. Plus, the panel fit and crisp details instantly tell you this has led the kind of garage-kept life you would have given it had you owned this ZR-1 from day one. In fact, the only non-standard piece we can identify is the set of Grand Sport wheels. But we can understand how an aggressive machine like this deserves the upgraded alloys.


The factory-correct red interior fantastically matches the red exterior. But you can tell from its stellar condition that it didn't spend too much time with targa roof out to showcase this very aggressive total package. The ZR-1 is meant to be a true driver's car, that's why the leather sports seats power adjust to your perfect position; the gauges are the perfect mix of analog and digital; and the shifter perfectly falls into your right hand. More than just the ultimate sports car, this is also a terrific luxury coddler. That's because this classic comes loaded with feature like power windows, power locks, alarm system, cruise control, provisions for air conditioning, and an AM/FM/CD/cassette Bose stereo. Because this is a modern classic, there are also great modern safety features like a driver airbag and anti-lock brakes.


The LT5 engine still knows how to draw a crowd today. So when you lift whole front end to show off that unique and tidy setup, you'll love being able to tell people it's the original motor. With the multi-valve setup developed by Lotus, and built by the sturdy masters at Mercury Marine, this was a unique motor the likes of which we might never see again. This 5.7-liter 32-valve V8 was rated at 375 hp, and it loves to pull hard through all six speeds. A supercar-level motor like this deserves the upgraded adjustable suspension that was part of the ZR-1 package. Plus, the powerful four-wheel disc brakes don't seem to mind the car's 180 mph capabilities. The wide Nitto Extreme ZR tires are a great investment in properly capping off this handling package.


A well-preserved icon like this also comes with all the right paperwork. It includes the original window sticker, owner's manual, warranty card, and even the original full promotional literature package in the original box! Oh yeah, this is the collectable ZR-1 with all the right features to keep it admired well into the future. So when this is all offered for such an affordable price, you know you need to hurry to take this supercar home. Call now!
