Default How much is this ZR1 worth?!

I know a guy with a black ZR1 he bought new back in 1990. He bought it with the idea that they would only offer the ZR1 this one year and it would be his investment...

This is the kicker...

This 1990 Corvette ZR1 only has 300 miles on it!!!

Obviously the car is in beyond perfect condition and he just had a new fuel pump put on a few months ago because it has sat in the garage so long...

I have tried to talk him into selling it and putting the money towards a new ZR1...but he is afraid the car won't bring much.

What do you owners think his car is worth to someone that can appreciate this "new" 1990 ZR1?

Look forward to hearing your responses!

I wouldn't say that. Has the car been run on a regular basis? Or has it just sat in the garage and hasn't been started in years?

Well in todays economy thats a tough question, he should be able to get 30k all day and if it is one that is in pristine as in needs nothing and runs like the day it came off the line he could get 40k, but the offers will be all over the place. I wish him luck because that is one sweet *** ride. Or just keep it and buy another LT5 and do a 415 with it keep the original engine in storage and go drive it like it was meant to be, I mean damn its a ZR-1 it begs to be beat on. Cheers.

Just curious has ANY ZR-1 in the past 2 years (with even ZERO miles) sold for $30,000.00? - I seriously doubt it.

Ebay bids on under 200 mile car have been in $35-38k range. No sell Reserve not met. As most want the mid $40 mark "todays market".
2 years ago $50k.

About 35K, Its a high production Model for MY 90 however if it is a HTF rare color like steel blue or ?? it could go higher. Black is not a rare color.

The ones that havent run in forever and need a few things have sold for25-30 but as some say prices are all over the map. If someone wants it bad enough they will pay more.

I have heard of the low mile Z in the auction going for 25-30k, but it was a 3000-5000 mile car ? I have not heard of a sub 500 mile car going for that low.
