Value?
A good friend is offering to let me buy his ZR1, I’m curious on value? It’s a 95 with 1100 miles on it. Only issue I can see is that once I buy it, I’m gonna drive it. I love my cars too much to let them sit. lol.

That's about as vague a question as anybody can ask so based on that,$60,000-$65,000.

Small ZR-1 World, seeing it and the miles, I'd bet that's #58...
I see @LT5corsa commented earlier - he owned this car for a little while. Anything he touches, is solid - it's only about a year-and-a-half out of his possession (sold on BaT in June, 2024... you got a DEAL, by the way, for $55k!). I think he forgets more about ZR-1s in a day then most of us can learn in a lifetime!
#58 also got one of the very last true reproduction ZR-1 windshields, and has two Dunn heads. It checks all the right boxes and is an awesome color combination. You will be very happy! Post pictures when it arrives, eager to see how you like it... as I've had others tell me, tune in to LT5-FM at 7200rpm
If it's not #58, there are only nine total Dark Red/Beige '95s... so I've got a 1/9 chance of being right, here (The Barrett Jackson photo is for sure #58, I remember seeing it go through there).
Enjoy, whatever the number!

Hey @TOM65 L76 96 LT1 - if you are wanting a replacement for the '94... https://www.streetsideclassics.com/v...t-corvette-zr1
@dc3843 - Congratulations!! I admired that car each time I saw it for sale. It was very interesting because up until maybe ~three years ago when David bought it, it had a windshield as bad as my original one. Lucky that he was able to put one of his true reproductions in it... you will thoroughly enjoy that car! It won't beat your Z06 but to me the driving experience of a C4, especially the ZR-1, is just different. I find the ZR-1 to be quite intoxicating. Remember, these were super cars in their day and beat nearly everything else the world had to offer at that time. That's why I wanted one. Before David got it, the car had been on Bring a Trailer in 2022, as well - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...rvette-zr-1-2/. You can see the windshield there.
Keep us posted!
