1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Description

This is a real-deal, first-year C4 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1. And when a well-presented benchmark 375 hp coupe is offered for such an affordable price, well then, you know this deal might not be around long enough for you to finish reading the details.

The Corvette has always been America's version of the European sports car, but the ZR-1 truly merged this attitude. It went to finishing school with the racing masters at Lotus in England, and you could instantly tell this was a special car. Back in 1990, the convex rear end and square-ish quad tail lights were exclusive to the "King of the Hill." Plus, the wider fenders gave this a more aggressive stance. And because this was the first year for the ultimate Corvette (it cost nearly double the standard car) its collectability has been firmly established. This is a factory red car, and that's always attractive on a Corvette. The odometer does reflect the car's full actual mileage, which means it has hit the road, but this is no commuter. So as you can see from the pictures, the sharp-edge styling of this C4 remains quite attractive. And those sawblade wheels look particularly nice.

The factory-correct tan interior looks great against the red exterior. But you can tell from its quality condition that it didn't spend too much time with targa roof out to showcase this very premium full color combo. The ZR-1 is meant to be a true driver's car, that's why the leather sports seats power adjust to your ideal position; the gauges are a terrific mix of analog and digital; and the shifter effortlessly falls into your right hand. More than just the ultimate sports car, this is also a terrific luxury coddler. That's because this classic comes loaded with features like automatic A/C climate control, power windows, power locks, an alarm system, cruise control, power steering, and an AM/FM/CD/cassette Bose stereo. Because this is a modern classic, there are also great modern safety features like a driver airbag and anti-lock brakes.

The LT5 engine still knows how to draw a crowd today. With the multi-valve setup developed by Lotus, and built by the sturdy masters at Mercury Marine, this was a unique motor the likes of which we might never see again. This 5.7-liter 32-valve V8 was rated at 375 hp, and it loves to pull hard through all six speeds. A supercar-level motor like this deserves the upgraded FX3 adjustable suspension that was part of the ZR-1 package. Plus, the powerful four-wheel disc brakes can halt the car's 175 mph capabilities.

The car comes nicely documented with the original window sticker, owner's manual, and maintenance records. So when such a desirable first-year ZR-1 is offered for such an affordable price, you know you need to hurry to take this supercar home. Call today!!!
