Add says never licensed and stored in a garage for investment. Quite the investment - negative $112.00 return in twenty years.

I love C4's but for almost 70 grand I would be buying a new 2015 Corvette.

Roys92BlackRose

My sentiments exactly. I could understand maybe $30k. Not 70.

No oil changes...No coolant changes...No brake fluid changes...Grease in the wheel bearings paste...and the u-joints too...Rubber parts rotting from the inside out...Leather is hard as rock.

The only good buy for this would be to put it in a museum and never drive it...

For about a 1/3 of that price you can by a nice clean ZR1 that you can drive and enjoy.

I agree with and feel the same as all comments above... but I bet some collector will pay the asking price, it's a *brand new* 20 year-old performance icon. (The buyer should ask for new tires to be installed, or deduct that cost from the price. No way anyone should be rolling around on 20 year old rubber, at least not on public roads.)

For $70k I'd rather have a new 2015 Stingray.

I just bought a Grand Sport.I elected for one with more miles for that reason.All the problems you could run into on a ultra low mileage car.

When the original owner bought this car, he was playing the chance that in years to come, he would reap a decent profit. I would say that he probably already had a good bank account and wouldn't have missed the cost of the car. I don't know of anyone who would work and make payments on something they have no intention of driving. Would any of you do that right now with a new one? When this car came out, the specialty cars of the late 60's, early 70's(67 Vette 427, Hemi Cuda, Plymouth Superbird etc.) were starting to show their value as collector cars. An investment in a specialty car may have seemed like a sound investment at that time. Unfortunately, the ZR1 did not garner the same collector interest as the earlier year specialty cars did.

HotrodCorvette

He didn't plan too well trying to make an investment in a specialty car that was in its 5th year of production. Just like early Viper owners that thought it would only be a short production run and got burned bad.

If you can't see a profit in a specialty car in 5 years...it is time to bail out.

For $69,400 I can buy a new C7Z51, and spank the ZR-1.

I did a quick calculation. Interest rates have averaged around 6% from 1990 - 2015. Twenty years on compounding interest would have returned him around 223,000.00.
