Default Yellow 95 #446, been discussed before?

Has the yellow 95 on Autotrader been noticed by anyone else? Close to the last ZR-1 produced(#446) with less than 3000 miles & and a low #'s color on top of it all. What looks like a deal to me @ $26k? Sure is a tough market.
Anybody know the car?

I already called them. The car was sold a couple of days ago, just waiting to be delivered. The price listed on the site was incorrect. It was actually $35,900.

That is still WAY less than it was listed for many years - great price!

That isn't the same ZR-1 that was in France, different Vin number.

Man that's a good looking car.........that yellow is the right shade!


Now the bashers are going to take the $25K price and run with it on what a rare color, pristine, '95 should sell for, even though it is a misprint, and should be $36K.

As far as price goes... unfortunately that is what the market is dictating right now. I know because I just sold my 95 ZR-1 with 21k miles on it for less than $30k. That was the only way I could generate any interest in the car right now. There are bargains out there if you are looking. I just saw a red 93 ZR-1 LPE stroker with LPE aerobody sell for $35k at the Mecum auction that is going on right now Florida. It is definitely a buyers market.

If I recall correctly, the owner had pics at GM's with these cars since they were one of the last ZR-1's. I think he might have got 2.

He either posted it here or emailed it to me directly. They were cool photos and he had photos with all the top guys. If I am not mistaken he was a pretty high up business man.

Can't remember the name of the original buyer, but he bought 445, 446 and 447 all yellow, kept one and gave the other two to high ranking executives at his company. He listed one on zr1.net and had a picture with all three together when delivery was taken.

If it was 26 it would be in my garage by now. It was 12,900 on the dealer website originally. Told them I would take it at 12,900. No go. Anyway took about 2 weeks to sell after it hit autotrader at 35,900. And I can tell you they weren't moving much off of list, I tried. I still say it is the cheapest, nicest Z that I have seen sold.

Didn't see it in time. My yellow is high miles compared--8000 with a 415.

Looking for a '95 Bright Aqua though.

Yep, she showed up here last night. Good car for the money, but like you say, there are deals and steals out there. The car above for $36K is a steal in my book.
