Price slashed $8k to a below market price for a quick sale!
Near-mint ZR-1 with less than 30k miles; two very meticulous owners
- the latest since 1993. AutoCheck certified accident-free with an
AutoCheck Score of 84 vs 51-69 norm. Impeccably maintained and
always garaged; exercised regularly. No modifications from original
except for a new full set of ZR-1 wheels (1993-1995 series) after a
wheel was damaged. Tires and brakes are at about 40%-50% remaining
life. Never tracked nor abused. Flawless but for a half dozen or so
pinpoint nicks on the front nose. Two removeable tops. This car is
consigned and is garaged near Laguna Seca Raceway (between Monterey
and Salinas, CA).When the C4 Corvette was first offered in 1984
Chevrolet gave us was the best Corvette the world had ever seen.
The car had new styling, a new interior with a cool video-game-like
digital dashboard, a V8 engine under the hood and remarkable
handling. The handling was so good that when introduced, the C4
Vette was the absolute best-handling car in the world, capable of
1.0 G on the skid pad. Horsepower was 205; This would change over
the years as the engine would increase to 230 horsepower in 1985
and 240 in 1987.But the real surprise was the launch of the ZR-1 in
1990. The ZR-1 used an all-aluminum 4-cam V8 developed by Lotus and
hand assembled by Mercury Marine. This was the powerplant everyone
was hoping for as it delivered 375 horsepower. Only a couple of
Ferraris and a Porsche were faster. The ZR-1 wheels were 11-inches
wide with 193 mph Z-rated 17-inch tires. To fit those tires, the
rear of the car was widened three inches, which necessitated a
different rear clip, doors and rocker panels.The ZR-1 was called
King of the Hill. Larry Merow, operator of The ZR-1 Registry: As
far as I am concerned, the ZR-1 is the best sports car ever made.
This high priest of ZR-1 enthusiasm owns three ZR-1s, including a
'93 green/black model that he says is the only one made in that
combination that year. About 15 % of the Registry's 1850 members
own more than one ZR-1. The ZR-1 was unlike any Corvette any
American car ever made, and in concert with its status as the most
expensive production Chevy ever, it was a rare bird in the nation's
high-performance aviary. Early enthusiasm for ZR-1s had some people
paying over $100k to get one.The 1992 original MSRP was $69,545
(about double a base Corvette); the ZR-1 option was $31,683 of
that. Only 502 ZR-1 were produced in 1992 and 448 built in each of
the cars three remaining model years. So, this car is fairly rare -
especially for a Corvette.According to Hagerty Valuation Tools the
value of this model is up an average of about 35% since the
beginning of 2021.Latest values: #1 Concours $54,300, #2 Excellent
$24,300. According to Hagerty: from an investment standpoint the
6,939 ZR-1s are the best value in the entire Corvette lineup.We
