This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an exceptionally rare and
highly collectible example of the legendary "King of the Hill"-a
true time-capsule C4 that has been preserved to an extraordinary
standard. With only 1,336 original miles since new, this ZR-1
remains in pristine, all-original condition and stands as one of
the finest early-production LT5 ZR-1s to surface in years. It has
lived its entire life inside a climate-controlled private Corvette
collection, retained by its original owner from new, and it carries
a perfect Carfax confirming its lifelong authenticity and
preservation.
Everything about this ZR-1 reflects the exclusivity and engineering
excellence that made the model world-famous. Under the hood is the
hand-built 5.7L LT5 DOHC 32-valve V8, the exotic all-aluminum
powerplant developed with Lotus and assembled by Mercury Marine.
With its high-revving character, advanced design, and effortless
delivery of power, the LT5 remains one of the most revered engines
ever installed in a Corvette. It is paired with a 6-speed manual
transmission, and the full ZR-1 Special Performance Package
elevates it far beyond the standard C4's capabilities with
Selective Ride & Handling, a heavy-duty brake system, unique
wide-body rear quarters, and extra-wide wheels wrapped in
P315/35ZR17 tires. Even the specific ZR-1 side panels remain as
crisp and original as when the car left Bowling Green.
This ZR-1 features a striking and iconic color combination: a White
exterior over Red adjustable leather sport seats, both
power-adjustable and showing virtually no wear. The cabin retains
its original Delco Bose Gold Series sound system, electronic
climate control, and all factory equipment in showroom condition.
The car also includes the desirable roof package, supplying both
the glass top and body-color top, exactly as delivered new.
As a true collector-grade car, this ZR-1 comes with a remarkable
level of documentation. Included are the original window stickers,
dealer brochure, dealer paperwork, and other items that seldom
remain with cars of this era. The car still rides on its original
date-coded tires, further emphasizing its untouched, museum-quality
preservation. A brand-new battery has just been installed, but
otherwise the car remains exactly as Chevrolet built it. Every inch
of the car confirms its authenticity-all original, no paint work,
no modifications, and verified by its perfect Carfax.
This 1990 ZR-1 is not just a low-mile Corvette-it is an extremely
special early production ZR-1, preserved in a way that very few
examples ever were. Its mileage, originality, one-owner history,
documentation, and overall condition place it firmly among the top
tier of surviving LT5 ZR-1s. For the serious collector or Corvette
enthusiast, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an
investment-grade, first-year ZR-1 that looks and feels as though it
just left the showroom floor.
