Wow, last ZR-1 sold to the public
I'm sure it'll go for the $50k asking price
The 50 is the current bid, which has not met the reserve.
They say it sold at Mecum for 85
My guess is they are looking for that or more.
Is it worth it?
It was to the last guy who paid 85 for it, but can lightning strike twice?
Who knows.
It is special!

Wow, 85K is some serious money but I understand its historical significance. That car would definitely have to be stored correctly to keep its value as a regular joe could not afford to pay that much to keep and not drive.
I wrote them and asked about their reserve but no answer yet. Good luck to them..I would think a sale would bring up other ZR1s?

When was the 85K paid for it at the Mecum auction ??
Not sure but someone is losing their ice cream money.....big time. Even if it's the last Z sold to the public (so what?), the market for an $85k C4 ZR-1 is incredibly narrow.
I received an answer back today and was told the reserve was 59K. I don't think that's too harsh considering it is the penultimate 95 ZR1 with less than 600 miles in a great color. I would think a big time Corvette collector would love to have this in his collection,no?
Does anyone think the first series of ZR1s will ever get their due?
As a side note the last owner of my car paid almost 59K for it in 2009 bought from Rogers Corvettes in FL.
Iam confused(normal) what do you mean by 1 year only body style?
The '90 had an old style front end, with the "new" style ZR-1 rear, and it had the black rub strips. It was only that way in '90. That is why even though the 90 sold more units, you don't seem to see as many of them on the road, because there were 5 years (91-95) of cars sold that look identical from a body standpoint.......the '90 is my favorite bodystyle. I just might have to get my old '90 back some day.

1990-1995 ZR-1s are the second ZR-1 series, not the first. The first were the cars from 70-72 based on the LT-1 of that generation.

The 95 has differently styled quarter panels than either the 90 or the 91-94 cars.

Well said Jim, and to add the picture of Jim's old car is what 1 of 20 or so in Quasar Blue?

close see the tag....I'm keepin it close.... the guy that bought it lives around the corner...this second pic is off of my back deck, and it is in the garage across the lake.
BB62 is correct BTW the first ZR-1s were C3s, but they have already taken off in price, so I just assumed ZR1ous was talking about '90s

Yes i forgot about them

Are you talking about that panel on the drivers side where the battery is in back of? I guess if you want to be technical yes but isn't it interchangeable on the 93-95s ?
