Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is proud to present this rare and stunning 1990
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1! This first year ZR1 represents a
collaborative effort of GM and Lotus to produce the world's fastest
production car, which in prototype form was known as "King of the
Hill". 1990 was the highest production year of the C4 ZR1 with just
3,032 cars produced. However, there were only 181 cars produced in
beautiful Dark Red Metallic like the one that sits before us today.
What makes this particular ZR1 even more desirable is the fact that
it has only 2,792 actual miles on the odometer!
This Corvette looks breathtaking in its dark red factory paint that
is still in very high driver condition with very few minimal
imperfections. Dark tinted windows add to the sporty look and a
black molding strip encircles the car at knee-height that ties in
well with the dark windows. The front end of the car looks like a
stock C4 with its iconic flip-up headlights and fender aero vents,
but when you get to the rear of the car it becomes apparent that
it's no ordinary C4. The ZR1 model has a wider rear end to
accommodate larger rear tires, a convex rear fascia with
squared-off taillights, dual chrome exhaust tips on each side, and
a discreet ZR1 badge under the right side lights. This car comes
with two targa tops, one that's body color and a second that's dark
tinted glass, providing a variety of possible looks to choose from.
The car has a great stance atop its staggered tires with Goodyear
Eagle P275/40 ZR17s on the front and P315/35 ZR17s on the rear, all
wrapped around stylish factory aluminum wheels.
Under the hood is the real star of the show - the ZR1-specific LT5
engine designed by GM and Lotus and built by Mercury Marine. The
LT5 is an all-aluminum 5.7 liter 32 valve 4 overhead-cam V-8 that
was rated at 375hp and 370 lb/ft of torque when new. This beast of
a V-8 is mated to a specially designed ZF 6-speed manual
transmission that will get you from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and run a
13.4-second quarter mile if used properly. The engine bay is
impeccably clean and bone-stock, just as you'd expect of a car with
under 3K miles. With all that power comes the need for substantial
brakes, and the ZR1 has that covered. The 4-wheel power disc brakes
feature an ABS system as well as oversized rotors with 12" in the
rear and 13" up front. Road handling is excellent courtesy of the
FX3 suspension system designed by Bilstein and Lotus. This system
allows for 6 damping settings in each of 3 driving modes; touring,
sport, and performance, resulting in an outstanding driving
experience.
Open the driver's door to find an exceptionally clean black
interior illuminated by working courtesy lights. The door panels
look like new and feature power locks, windows, and mirrors. The
black leather bucket seats are fully power-adjustable and in
excellent condition. The only small demerit we found in the
interior is the plastic surround for two of the power function
buttons on the left side of the driver's seat is cracked (it does
not affect the working of the controls and is extremely common due
to the design and placement). Between the seats is a center console
with an armrest/storage box (which contains a hatchback glass
release and the Targa top tool), the Ride Control switch, seat
controls, and the leather-wrapped shifter for the 6-speed. The
crack-free dash is a very "driver-centric design" with an arch
ahead of the driver where the gauges are located - reminiscent of
the C2 dash. The speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge are digital
while the tachometer, oil press., oil temp., water temp, and
voltage gauges are all mechanical. The leather-wrapped steering
wheel is mounted on a tilt column which also has a stalk for cruise
controls and the intermittent wipers. In the dash is a Delco Bose
Gold Series stereo with AM/FM/CD/ and Cassette that sounds awesome.
The climate controls work just as they should with hot heat, cold
A/C, strong fan, and rear defrost. Also on the dash is a key that
allows you to switch between "Normal" and 'Full" engine power.
Other interior highlights include a tire pressure warning system, a
trip computer, dual-lighted vanity mirrors, carpeted factory
floormats, and a sizable rear cargo space. Also included with the
car are the original owner's manual, some interior "hang tags" from
when it was new, a cassette tape provided by GM that walks you
through the features and functions of the car, and a clean CarFax
that verifies the mileage.
It's been almost 30 years now since the last of the C4 ZR1s were
produced and it's becoming increasingly difficult to find
collectible low-mileage examples like this one - let alone in a
low-production color! This car is sure to be a hit at any car show
and will definitely be a shining star in someone's collection!
Don't let the opportunity to own such a fine example pass you
by!
