91 Z for $ 13,395.00....

[Vette73]

Came across this 91 when I was doing my research...It is located at Triad auto solutions in Greensboro NC.....When I was looking months ago it was listed at 16,995......I called the dealership and the MNGR said he would sell car for 15,995.....Car I think has 37,000 miles..Website has some 60 photos of it..
Of course most black cars with a decent coat of wax looks good outside in photos..

Has any members of this forum actually have seen this one up close?
I feel it is priced way below average but probably has some flaws..

Just curious....

Car is listed for 13,995 not 13,395....

Moving this one to the FOR SALE section, guys.

FYI :iroc:

The camera they used seems to have some weird lens on it, the pics look a bit distorted and a lot of them are way too dark; someone doesn't know how to use lighting correctly when taking pictures.

I would say the previous owner didn't take real great care of it, for the miles I would have expected it to look better. They made the paint look really shiny, but the pictures are very poor quality. Passenger seat bottom leather is all shrunk up, headlight switch area looks really faded, just how the original one on my 142K mile Z I used to own looked and yet this one has 100K less miles. Tires also look old, you can see a lot of cracks in the rubber in one pic, even with the poor quality. Engine bay looks a bit rough too. Probably this car sat out in the sun a lot. But with the proper TLC, could be made to look great again.

Looks like it was in an accident as well, this is the note I have in the vin list of the cars that Jim put together (with some note additions by me when I'd find Z's on the net). The date is the date I added the info, not necessarily the date of the accident:

(July-10) 39,014 miles; accident or damage reported


It might have a salvage title, I wonder how it runs & drives. I've been mulling over getting another Z, too bad this one is all the way across the country.

Hello, new to this site. I noticed this car last week in Greensboro, I am a long time vette owner and currently own a 94 lt1. I wanted to look at this car since finding out its a Zr1. I will be back in town on Monday and can inspect then. This dealer is not very reputable in our area. They have the price listed differently all over the web. One site has it at $12,200?

[Vette73]

Yeah I'm curious about this ZR1.....I was going to take Amtrak from NYC to see this car a few months ago.....I'm a supv. for NYCTA and usually Amtrak honors my badge and pass. It was going to be a 11 hr train ride.....I then saw the ZR1 I presently own from Gateway classics in Chicago and went that route....Car is beautiful and def.worth what I paid...Knock wood, so far no problems.....Same colors same year..

Good luck with the car...It's def. worth the time to check it out..Let us know how you make out.....

John....

[Ncvette]

Anything particular I should look for, besides normal title, damage, water damage and so on? From the ZR1 side of it? From little research I can do from my phone on vacation, injectors, oil leaks and cluch slave cylinder seem to be troublesome.

[Vette73]

I'm also new to the forum myself....This is my third Corvette I have owned..
I presently have a 73 convertible which I have owned for the past 12 years..

There seems to be a lot of knowledgeable ZR1 owners on the forum..

Post on the site if maybe one if the members could possibly meet you there to inspect it along with you...

I know this particular car has had some paintwork done, which to me is no
Big deal along as it is done right...Also it has had some if the injectors replaced..

Good luck ....

They rattle... Don't let it scare you :)

Some do,mine doesn't.

Well, I'll let you know all about it when it gets here - i just purchased this car yesterday and having it shipped to me in Long Island. I already ordered new tires as I was told the old ones were "like New" but dry rotted and cracked.

[Vette73]

Hey congrats....
I'm sure it's pretty solid...Even if you got the car for the asking price it's a great deal..
Best of luck with it....

[Ncvette]

Was it ever in a accident like reported? Never had a chance to look at it in person.

Congrats! That seems like heck of a price for a low-mileage Zee. You have some room if it needs some work. Please keep us posted.

[zr1esq]

Based upon my inspection it has not had any paint work - I figured the price is right in the event I need to replace injectors and other quirks the car may have. As soon as it arrives i'll give you guys the low down. Thanks again.

[We Gone]

Congrats.. looking forward to your views after you drive it some.

Welcome I see the NY group is growing.

[Johnny5]

I was thinking of looking at that car when I was in my seek for a zr1. What's the condition? what does it need? good and bad?

[zr1esq]

Not bad at all. Minor issues - outside window sweeps are currently being replaced - stereo was inop - i'm replacing with a 2 din nav unit. Tires were new but old - I replaced those. Interior is very nice. 2 bad speaker amps i'm currently replacing. I put in a hurst shifter and changed all the fluids with synthetic from front to back. Runs and shifts great. So far very happy. Just dealing with a sticky drivers side window that appears to be jamming. Overall a good deal in my book.

[G8nightman]

Nice we should do a tri state meet when the weather gets nicer.

Let me know , post up in the N/E section too.

[rkreigh]

sounds like a really good score to me. I love cheap zr1s they are a thing of joy

this one looks pretty schweet to me!!!


Hey Frankie,

just got gainfully employed so my vacation time is a bit limited but I'd love to get together in NY or VA with you guys

the LSV is still doing well and getting more miles on it

the new ccws and Michelins really ride nice!

[phrogs]

Tires should be changed based on age not looks.
But dry rot and cracking is a good reason, when they dont have the dry rot and cracks look at the date stamp.

Congrats on the purchase!
