1990 ZR-1 opinion please
1990 ZR-1 has 1991-1992 body style. Whats up with this?? Should I be concerned? Looks to be in good shape overall and the price is right.

Back in the day, it was very common for owners to convert their corvettes to the newer styles when they came out (they actually sold a kit to remove the split rear window on a 63 to make it look like a 64...sounds really silly now). Some people don't like the black belt line, thinks it looks sooo 80's, not so much now, but back then....Price, a little high for a significantly modified Z, if that's what you are asking. Seems like a nice car.

Meh, it's not a car I would buy tbh. It is very hard to color match red, and it is quite obvious that the new bumpers are not matching to the rest of the body. That is something I could not live with, maybe you are different. There also looks to be overspray on the wheels where they tried to paint the calipers. Obviously they failed at that. It does have a B&B exhaust however. I just bought my 91 Z for 17,900$ with 36,000 miles, looks showroom new. Took about a year and a half to find it. If you can talk them down to 15k, then go for it. Otherwise, just wait some more. There are some very nice Zs that pop up every now and again. Good luck!
