Begining the hunt
After 17 years as a C2 owner, I sold the old girl yesterday.
Now the hunt begins for a 91-95 ZR1.
I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions. Luckily, I have a ZR1 owner living nearby.
Time to release the hounds.......

Been to the ZR1.net site. Only a few cars listed, none of which peaked my interest or wallet.
Don't want Red (any shade), which there are a lot...….or Yellow or Purple,
Looking for Steel Blue, Admiral Blue, Polo Green, White.
No Red or Black interiors (I like light interiors) Silver, White, Saddle
I know I'm significantly limiting myself, but I'm in no rush.
I have a line on a couple, just need to start the process.....

Budget is not a problem. The prices are all over the place, from $9K basket cases to $70K prima donna's.
I'm looking in the 20's, with the higher prices for the better car and/or less miles.
More stock than not, but if all the porting work has been done, that's a plus.

After I sold my Quasar 93 I twitched for several years then started a search in earnest for a new one. Ever since I got into the ZR-1 world back in 1993, I have preferred the 93-95 cars for a couple of reasons including, rarity (only 448 made each year), higher horsepower and for the fact that towards the end of a model run GM tends to fix and improve little things on the earlier cars. Personal choice though. I Loved my 93 but focused on getting a '95, to have one of the last produced. My search took almost a year but I ended up with one that I liked, did the deal, brought the car to Marc Haibeck as soon as I got it for a thorough going over, fluids changed and a few minor mods like a 4.10 gear, Corsa exhaust and Hurst short shifter. My initial purchase price was $27k for the car but it was a two top, 20,000 mile car in a color I liked (Polo/Beige) owned by the same second owner guy for 15 years. While in this case I did not end up doing so, I strongly recommend buying one from a member of this forum or the ZR-1 Net Registry. Look in the cars for sale section of both. Good luck--Bob

20s can get you one hell of a nice lower mi Z hold out and dont compromise.
Rarity doesnt mean anything, not like the public is scrambling to buy these..take your time.
Lots of fun driving something non mainstream. Some very quick ones here on this board.

Try Conti corvette i believe he must broker ZR1, he has plenty of leads. The rest are hit or miss. I did work for a car broker and he would have the check in the sellers hands and a truck ready to pick up the vehicle in a few hours. He would give the seller the price he was willing to pay and if they did not agree go on to the next car. In his home 3 car garage he has 6 vette a 63,two 67,and three ZR1 he stole price wise. Thats is part of your competition out there ,the good cars are gone in days. THe computer is the way of the future.for buiying the great cars.
