Default New Owner to a 1995 ZR1 Admiral Blue/Light Gray interior

I have wanted a 1995 Admiral Blue ZR1 for many years! I wanted Admiral Blue with the light gray interior. The car I purchased is in great condition with original paint and beautiful interior and low miles. This car was an original two top car with the painted and clear blue top. Unfortunately the clear top was not included with the purchase of the car from the second owner so I am in the process of locating the original or buying a replacement.

Beautiful color combination. Take her out for a nice long ride and enjoy it. Looks like GSD3 tires on it.

The miles are 32,000. I paid $35,000. The car is the nicest stock 1995 ZR1 I have found. Original paint, great owner history, paperwork etc... I look at the 1995 ZR1 as the same as a 1967 L88 Corvette. My car is one of 12 in this blue and the only 1995 in this blue that was from Canada. I didn't buy the car to sell, I bought the car because it is an amazing part of GM/Chevrolet history. The ZR1 C4 has been undervalued for years! Like the Ferrari Testarossa's and Porsche's the ZR1's will come into the light very soon. Buy one now before they go nuts! I have mine now and I am very happy!!!

Very hard to say about values shooting up....True, if any models down the line command money it will most likely be the 95 model...

In my opinion I think Chevy just made the ZR-1 to identical to the standard C-4......I have seen real nice examples of 94-95 C4s selling for 7-8 grand..

Throw some heads,cam,exhaust,supercharger whatever and your close to the performance of a ZR-1 for not a lot of money..

I for one would love to see values shoot up,since I own one...It seems that the C4 generation has not come around...

I do happen to notice an uptick on 80-81 vettes which I'm not too crazy about..

Just nothing yet for the ZR-1...

Not really,there’s been too much talk of C4s and ZR-1s in general lately. Prices have pretty much bottomed out and the only way to go is up. I’ve followed these cars from the late 80s on up and have always known at some point prices would go up and I do believe this is the clam before the storm. It’s feels a little odd having one in the garage and watching this all happen,and happen it will and if it doesn’t,who cares. I think the only people that are interested in prices are the ones looking to sale. As stated before,get one while you can.

Absolutely beautiful congrats !! Im not so sure I could get myself to mod such a clean original car. There is no quetsion in my mind the values will start to increase. The base C4s are at a low point but people focus on the high mile beat up cars I always see for cheap. I continue to see low mile Lt1/4s sell well over $10k which is pretty good. There are just too many of them. As they die and wear away (as we know c4s dont age well without care) the values will increase in time.

From my records, I'd say it's #103. Was last offered on Ebay in 2007 with 24k miles. Great find, great car.

Welcome! Admiral Blue is one of my favorite colors and you won't see it very often either, outside of the club at least. Here's my 94...
