I favor both of these for one reason.
LONG term ownership!

ZR-1 owners tend to exceptioanlly fanatical about maintaining their cars.
To have an owner for 13 or 17 years is certainly a plus in my book.
it avoids the gaps in history and maintenance that often surface in multi owner scenarios.

I always prefer buying from the owner as it enables me to get a better idea of how the car was cared for.

Both are priced well for miles and condition. The 91 has some nice upgrades, especially the rare forced air mod, although comparitively speaking the 90 looks better cared for form the pictures selected by the respective sellers.

I would likely go for the 90 over the 91 for the reasons above, but both look very correct and are alleged to be problem free.

you have a number of other ZR-1 nuts in Florida, why not take one to lunch and have them look at both cars with you, but I would nto waste too much time.

Cars like that don't last long.

Good luck, and keep us posted!!!

Both look great and less than 30k miles. Interesting The forced air wasn't listed as a mod, at least I didn't see it, but it shows up in the pics

If anybody is interested in one of these I can go and take a look for you. I am right here and I can take my 15,000 mile 90 Z for reference.

No problem. I might go and take a look just for myself. They both look pretty good.
