1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

Chevrolet was ready to take the gloves off with its competitors of the Corvette, so in '89 they introduced at the Geneva Car Show the Corvette ZR-1…simply a monster at the time. This highly engineered setup was just about double the price of a standard Corvette and generated a waiting list instantly to the dealers across the USA. Dealers had such strong demand that of the 3,049 produced in '90 almost all were sold at a $20-40k premium over the MSRP.

This well preserved example is in remarkable shape inside and out and comes with a lot of great paraphilia that many of these have lost or been discarded over the years. The famous “pizza box” is complete with owner's manual, VHS cassette, factory spare keys, wallet key, hard bond ZR-1 book, leather satchel with VIN# embossed, factory MSRP and ZR-1 key chain. Vehicle was sold out of New Jersey in July of 1990 and exchanged a few hands over the past 27 years before coming into our position. The paint and moldings are in great shape and show that this car was pampered its entire life and kept in a nice climate controlled environment and was not abused or neglected. Car comes with the factory windshield that has the cutout for the radar detector, along with a stock look with the only upgrade being the wheels that were from the last two years of production of the ZR-1 in '93 and '94. Vehicle also has two removable tops, the glass and painted version depending on your mood as well as the electronic air conditioning. The factory specs were impressive and the ZR-1 package gave you the 32 valve V8 sourced from Mercury Marine and developed in conjunction with Lotus. Further features were; massive 17x11 rear wheels, squared off rear tail lamps, performance handling package, side moldings, selective ride and handling package, power leather adjustable sport seats, low tire pressure warning, and DELCO stereo with CD and cassette player.

Crawl in this fighter jet cockpit, slide on your sunglasses, switch the special key to “Full” power and slide it into 1st gear and experience a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 176mph. This is a joy to drive but even more important you are buying automotive history at its best and a car that will continue to have a tremendous upside as the year's progress.
