Best bet is either a ZR-1, Grand Sport or LT-4 convertible. Callaway probably should be on the list too but proceed with extreme caution if considering one. I have been to many auctions and for whatever reason serious Callaway buyers seem to be few and far between and actual selling prices are always in the lower than expected range. ZR-1's are often a bargain in my humble opinion. Many were bought new by speculators for 20K to 50K over sticker and socked away hoping for double digit value increase which never materialized. I was at the Bloomington auction last year when a red on red 91 with 18 original miles still under the manufacturers statement of origin (meaning buyer would be first registered owner) and protective shipping plastic still covering the seats sold for $35,000. Excellent cars with a few miles are starting to appear under 20.

I have been actively looking for another ZR-1 but those are easy to find if
you know where to look.
The Callaway I would want is going to be too pricey for what I would want.
I think the 95 pace car is nice but to me I don't like all the Decals.

Yeah, seems like a ton of them to me
I know how many 85's were made. I am looking for a rare color etc.
I just happen to like the 85.

Accurate and True.

Pristine ones always bring good $. It's the ones that have traded hands often or that have sketchy histories that don't bring the $.

Disagree totally Good ZR-1s are not under 20k
I have been offered 32k and I have under 20k miles.
Common color Rough ZR-1s are soft - the market is good for the right ZR-1s, LT-4 convertibles and GS - a car has to stand on its own merit

Okay. In 1994 they produced a color called Copper Metallic
They only made 116--91 Coupes, 24 Verts, 1 ZR1
So, if you can wrestle the ZR1 from GMs hands, you'll have a really rare car.

Look Into A 1996 Grand Sport With RED Interior...
A hard to find color combination. I belong to the largest Corevtte club in my state and at our annual Corvette show there are usually four or five Grand Sports there. So far I've only seen one with a red interior - a coupe owned by a friend of mine in the club (and not likely to sell any time soon, I might add.) According to him, there were not many produced in that red interior/GS exterior combination and a GS covertible in that color combination would be rare indeed.

I love the '85 too, thats why I bought one. Mine is extremely rare cause its painted Quasar Metallic Blue which is a later C4 color.
I'd say yellow is probably one of the rarest '85 colors cause i've only seen one.

Yes "RED GUTS" are few and far between. It would probably take you a year to find a GS Convertible with "Red Guts"

Rare colors are cool but you have to like them.
