I plan on going to check it out. Just nice to know what is my neck of the woods.

1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - $26785

Hard to find ZR1, Very well cared for with both the glass and painted tops, leather, power seats, power options, and more! This is a must see, drive, and buy! This may be the best deal in the country on a 1990 ZR1.

Nice ... but a little pricy for 57K mile car. Heck I'd sell you mine with 53K miles for $24K and throw in free transportation and I fixed everything on mine. Who knows what this one will need.
Everything has it's price I suppose.

I donno. a red 90 with 50k+ miles, leather, power seats,power options and more, for $26k+ is not a "hard to find Z". I would suggest it's a hard to sell Z.

As far as I'm concerned, all ZR1's are like centerfolds, beautifull and built for action (however when they get old, sometimes.....)

Well, had the pleasure of going out and checking over this car.

The pictures do not do tell the whole truth. While the car looks good, the pictures do not show any detail. The Engine, trans and rear end performed flawlessly, but the rest of the C4 parts let it down.

The bad:
INFL RST light is one
Actual carpet not the floormat is worn badly
lumbar is dead drivers side
Shift boot is falling apart
Seat switches missing parts
DS seat bolster and back angle switches do not work
Lumbar dead DS
Driver side rear amp dead
Weatherstrip outside DS cracked and falling apart
Passenger side metal trim bent down, window will not seal
Map & fuel pressure hoses incorrect
Rear hatch struts bad
Hood strut bad
Parking brake cover missing (covered with some leather POS)
Clear top has been stored inside car, hazed over
Engine fairly stained


The good:
Windshield is perfect
LT5 ran great
Trans good

Not worth the the 27 grand they are asking. Maybe 15-16.
