Price is nonsense.

It's only had 4 miles put on it since 2008. Personally, I hope he gets the asking price. It would be good for all ZR-1 owners.

with the ever-popular automatic transmission ...

Not a scam. Why would it be at that price?

I don't personally see extra value in the color package, but i understand why some people do.

I hope so too Jerry! Blurry interior pictures but looks like a stick shift so automatic is likely just a typo--Bob

Agree. But for some reason all anniversary year Corvettes seemed to be pricier than regular ones. The Ruby color is very nice but they made SO many of them comparatively. My 1993 Quasar Blue was one of only seven made that year and it was the last year for that color. Switched to Admiral blue in 94. Much less common. --Bob

This is true, but apparrently GM recognizes the marketing value in making anniversary & other special models, since they have made so many different ones. I don't get into the statistics, but 245 seems like a very limited run of an anniversary edition, in addition to being an already special car in a very limited year model production. Anyone know production figures for the other anniversary year models for comparison?

Sure, 245 of 448 is the bigger portion, but look at it in terms of 245 by itself as the ZR-1 40th Anniversary special edition. Pretty small number in the grand scheme of things.

Just my 2 cents. I sold mine with 168 miles for $57,000 a few years back. I would hope prices escalate for the ZR-1 in the future. Usually, first year, last year & special edition, original & low mileage bring the premium money first, then the rest follow.

Was Corvette still building the export version in '93? I know there were some small variations in some model years..would/could that drive the price up? There were just a few made, IIRC
