This thing screams to have someone go look at it and do a proper assessment!!

The link doesn't connect to a ZR-1, and a search does not show a ZR-1. Did they take it away?

Paul pasted the link from this CF post that earlier this morning certainly did work:

It does still from the CF thread and it worked also from this link:

Yep. I re-posted it, and now it works again now (verified).

Wonder what weight oil they have in that motor?....I know it's cold up there but never see an oil pressue gauge pegged like that one is.

That's about where mine runs, especially when the engine is that cold. The engines gotta be worth that much.

Did they change the price? The ad now says $10.5K. (EDIT: never mind, didn't see that its Canadian dollars...)

Wonder what's wrong with it that they have the price so low? Maybe a salvage title? Looks like in pretty good condition just going off of the pics, though the seat leather pretty shrunk up especially on the passenger side. No engine pics though...

PW converted the CD to US and mentioned USD in "title" but the conversion "today" is maybe closer to $8400. I don't think the price changed but it might likely "TODAY".

Probably just doesn't run great- I bet you could probably fix a common secondary not functioning issue and burn rubber out of the used car lot laughing all the way home. It's a long winter up there and nobody wants a vette right now -- somebody with pocket change should go get it.

worst case the ZF is crunchy...but still.

Why wouldn't u put pics of the engine bay on the site? Looks decent especially for that price, what could be wrong unless flood car or something.

Because they likely didn't understand maybe what it was that they were offering. TODAY that will or has changed and if it wasn't sold yesterday and cash changed hands I doubt that the original ASK would do the buy UNLESS there was an obvious reason for the low ask known to the seller.

U or you wouldn't matter if you/u knew what you had it would certainly have been posted. Unusual photos posted, some of the more meaningful ie. SPID, "Certification" and if it's a Canadian build which is likely I believe there would be the "MapleLeaf" on the door or jamb.

Well the dash is in Metric units. Pretty rare gray color. I still don't get why they didn't build Silver ZRs.

Well COLOUR is Brown, but COLOR is Black. I guess Brown is the metric equivalent of black. ;)

...what could be wrong unless flood car or something.

The emergency brake handle seems like it is very rusty (assuming I am looking at the same car everyone else is looking at).

Not to mention the disclaimers: "This vehicle is being sold “as is”, unfit, not e-tested and is not represented as being in a road worthy condition, mechanically sound or maintained at any guaranteed level of quality. The vehicle may not be fit for use as a means of transportation and may require substantial repairs at the purchaser’s expense. It may not be possible to register the vehicle to be driven in its current condition.” But the car runs great."
