Vehicle Description
This 1993 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is exceptionally rare, absolutely
bold, and blindingly fast. So when an awesome 40th anniversary icon
like this is also well-documented and surprisingly affordable, you
may not be able to read all the details before this one is
gone.
Rarity is a big reason you want a classic, and this one really has
it. 1993 is tied for the least C4 ZR-1s produced (448 examples,)
and the factory-correct Competition Yellow is one of rarest of all
time (only 13 examples were produced this year.) And while that can
be mouth-watering to collectors, this has one more ace up its
sleeve: it's a Canadian market car. They only sent 15 cars total up
north in 1993...that's it! Not only do the figures make this one
ultra-desirable, but so does the overall presentation. The vivid
yellow looks to be the factory application, and it continues to
have a terrific shine. And looking bold is what a ZR-1 was meant to
do. After all, these were the road-owning special widebody cars. As
you look over the whole package, you see a very striking coupe.
It's in factory details, like the way the darkness of the targa top
wraparound parking lights, and badging look particularly good
against the yellow. And the only thing more vibrant than that paint
are the upgraded Fikse polished alloys.
For the same reason dark accents are attractive against the
exterior yellow, you're going to love the full black interior. This
has been treated like a proper collector car, and that makes for a
clean and quality presentation. So the sharp-looking blackout style
on the inside will have you leaving the targa top off so you can
show it to everyone. The ZR-1 almost doubled the price of a
standard Corvette, and so they made sure to load it with the best
features. This includes automatic A/C climate control, power
windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, driver airbag, power
steering, cruise control, and a premium Bose AM/FM/CD/cassette
stereo. The supple leather seats are six-way power adjustable to
make sure you can find your ideal position. This is not one of the
commemorative anniversary cars (this is far rarer) but it still
reminds you that this is a special year for Corvettes with the 40th
anniversary logo stitched into the headrests. The leather-wrapped
sports steering wheel is on a tilt column to give you a clear view
to the full gauge package. And you may want to note some of the
distinct readouts for the Canadian market. Plus, the bright white
ball of the upgraded Hurst shifter is like a beacon calling out to
you right hand (purists will be happy to know that the original
shifter comes with the sale, too.)
Under the hood is the correct LT5 motor. It shows all the right
signs of proper maintenance and being the original motor. This is a
terrific powerhouse that took the American small block forcefulness
and sent it off to a European finishing school. The masters at
Lotus gave it a four-cam multi-valve setup to create a 405
horsepower V8 that is versatile from a standstill all the way past
triple-digit speeds. And this one has a little extra power and
thunder. It inhales deeper with an upgraded air intake, and it
exhales with added muscle and authority with a header-fed dual
exhaust. A powerful motor like this deserves to be paired with the
control of a six-speed manual transmission, four-wheel power disc
brakes, and the desirable FX3 adjustable suspension that was part
of the ZR-1 package.
There's the right supporting documentation to show off this rare
ZR-1, including the factory buildsheet, original window sticker,
and owner's manual. This is true bold distinction offered for a
surprisingly affordable price. Call now!
