$750,000 C3
ZR2 is pretty cool, but $750,000. Can it be worth that much?

Nice car but it does nothing for me. I'm not drooling over it. I can think of alot of other things I could do with $750K then purchase a 71' Corvette with a big block for that kind of money. To tell you the truth I like small block Vette's the best.

The way I see it, the prices of some of the rarer C3's have started going through the rough the last couple of years. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rarer C3's are the most expensive 'vettes there are. Pretty soon the values of all our cars will increase enough where we can't do nothing else but restore them (see C1&C2 forum). That'll be boring.

Where's the fan shroud? Didn't this particular model have one?
Other than that, it looks real. Got the aluminum heads and everything. And lots of paperwork
Well see where it goes...

It said that it had a 40,000 sympathetic freshening of the car in 2003.
I guess that did not include repainting the valve covers where they are peeling off paint. For $750,000 wouldnt you expect a perfect car?

Cmon guys, this is a very rare car. Collectors go apecrap over these. We don't think it's worth 750k cause we aren't collectors, we're drivers. BIIIG difference. Oh, and that LS6 aint 425 HP, well maybe....at 3500 rpm....

The reason this car is worth what it is is because it still has the origional paint on the valvecovers.
It's like a preiceless antique that has been stripped and revarnished. It's now almost worthless...
This car is now a musuem piece. it will never see the road again.
And if you think this is $$$$ go price an origional Hemi Cuda...

It is not everyday thay a ZR2 comes up for sale as they are extremely rare.This one has some serious paperwork to back up its pedigree.Even though they are so rare,i still believe a REAL documented 68-69 L88 will still be more desirable.Right now the 68-69 L88 is as hot as a pistol......JMHO...JERRY
