Vehicle Description
This well-documented 1995 Corvette ZR1 is one of 25 produced in
Dark Purple Metallic and is serial #140 of 448 total produced in
1995, the last year of that run. This car started life as a PR car
for GM for its first year. Then it was refurbished in Detroit and
sold to well-known car technical writer Hib Halverson of Southern
California, who owned it for more than 20 years. Approximately
2-1/2 years ago it was sold to an individual from Gainesville, FL,
who parked it in his garage and drove it only 46 miles before
selling it to its third owner. It is a matching-numbers car with
the exception of one head, which was changed during a complete
rebuild approximately 55,000 miles ago. The reliable and manageable
Lotus-designed, four-overhead-cam, 350ci V8 engine features ported,
polished and mated stock exhaust manifolds, and heat-wrapped 3"
exhaust flowing into a 3" set of stock-looking Flowmaster mufflers.
It's backed by a 6-speed manual transmission with a Hurst/Reinhart
short-throw shifter and an aluminum flywheel with McLeod clutch.
This ZR1 features many upgrades, including modern Bilstein shocks
with three electronic settings controlled from the cockpit, larger
1996 Grand Sport brakes and a 9-fin oil cooler, but maintains its
original appearance. Inside it sports dual power seats, power
locks, cruise control and air conditioning. The radio was
professionally upgraded using the original speaker covers. The
antenna only raises halfway. This Corvette includes a complete set
of factory manuals, complete key sets with one factory fob and
extra parts.
