Vehicle Description
Near-mint ZR-1 with less than 30k miles; one very meticulous owner.
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
