Default Some interesting ZR-1's on the bay right now

The steel blue Spyder, a Callaway, and the Black Rose/White 93. I think I will buy a lottery ticket tonight......just in case.

Black rose/white? Ooooooooo.

Looked at it. Really nice, but with only 697 miles what's the point? A museum piece in a rare color combo? A trailered show car? Just too much car going to waste for me.

I agree that it is a shame when any ZR-1 is denied it's natural habitat, the open road, but oh, if I had money to burn.

I have held onto my 93 driver through both good times and bad(financially) and never considered letting it go but to tell the truth....there was an instant, just an instant mind you, that I thought about calling up the seller & talking trade in on the Spyder.....then the body flex question popped into the thought process. I am only assuming here but I would guess there is even more "C4 flex". Still, it is tempting.
The Black Rose/Wt car is a knock out, IMO. There have been a few threads but I have no idea if it is the same car......

a seller in this one....notice the mileage

These, along with the Callaway and JVD's Black Widow, all being semi-available, occasionally tempt me to sell mine and go for a little more rare one than a Bk/Bk 93 but then.....I realize I got the car that I got because I wanted to drive a ZR-1.....not collect it. These rarities make me lust after them ......but it would be hard to give up the rush @ 7k for just an "investment" thrill and piece of eye-candy without the follow-through of driving it. I don't know if I could keep the miles off the collector type cars, might try it .....
....someday.

I believe the seller of that Callaway recently picked it up and is attempting to flip it for a fairly large profit.

I saw the car in person and it is a basket case. The salepeople were rude. It was pitiful to see a car like that in such terrible shape. Asking wayyy too much.

I like the convertible and the fact that it was done by a company speiclizing in concepts. Not a chop shop build.
