Here's confirmation #4.

You might have a few things to do (eg, replace injectors if they're original), but that's a great deal!

If you pass on it, be sure to post some details as I'm sure there are others on here that would be interested.

You don't want a ZR-1, their really slow cars.

They have 4 cams....what corvette has 4 cams?

$16k is on the low side - inspect it carefully for possible damage - better yet, have someone else who knows ZR-1s help inspect it.

Yes, do post some pics. I have several that popped up, none at the prize. from what I've been reading that's a good find.
