Hi Everyone:

Since my retirement the added time has given me a chance (so my wife says lol) to search around for the the Corvette I've always wanted the C4 ZR-1. After looking around on different websites and willing to travel almost anywhere I've narrowed it down to this ....

- Wanting the 94-95 but will consider 90-93

- Low mileage

- Color wise would like green, yellow, white or blue but not necessarily in that order.

- Well cared for vehicle and documented

- Modified no big deal

- My budget is open

Feel free to inbox me or respond here no big deal and thanks for the opportunity.

With money in hand it's only a matter of time before you find your car.

Congratulations on your retirement and welcome to the forum. This is a great group of guys to associate and be frends with. They just come along with the car for the ride. There is one Air Force Colonel on board here. Take a look at the for sale section. And ask away with questions. :salute:

Thank you for your service... especially in these crazy times.

You may have seen this one on the CF (I have no association with it), but there are also many for sale on the ZR-1net Registry too.

BTW, if you do find one that is well kept and runs real good, you'll love it!

Checking this website's Marketplace we found two interesting ZR-1s however the Green Z does not appear to list the mileage.

1994 Polo Green/Saddle $29,900 Iowa

If I had to do it all over again ( I bought mine stock a few years back) I would look for one modified..... Big difference between a modified one and a stock one...Mods are expensive on the LT-5 and now is a good time to buy....Right now is a good time to buy any Vette if you ask me......Even C-6 Z06s can be had for the low 30s with some mods....

Most owners of low mileage Zs ( under 10K) to me are just not selling at the prices there
Asking.....With so many choices today you'll get the guy that says - hey if I'm going to spend this than I can get something newer and a lot more powerful for less money...

One of the things that really irritates me is when somebody is looking for a specific car that has a price on the higher end of the market and someone steps up and says,WELL FOR THAT KINE OF MONEY YOU CAN GET A ?

Agree. We are unknowingly driving down the price of all ZR-1's. Let's let the market set the value, not personal opinions. Stop commenting on prices!

If you are looking for power you can certainly pay less and get more than our z's. I have a cts v with 556 hp and Manuel 6 speed but prefer driving my z. Just love the history and on long trips it is hard to beat. Drove 4900 miles two years ago with my wife and both agreed it is a great cruiser with a untouchable pedigree!! Just pop the hood and nobody look down their nose at our z's.

Very nice looking 95 ( the green one)...Heck, a Z06 may be in my future...I have a 91 Blk/Blk w 44,000 miles.... I would rate 9/10....

Car presently is having the heads ported,intake cams, Fidenza to go along with
The top end that is already ported,plus headers, full exhaust, hurst shifter, K/N filter......Big difference between driving a stock Z and one that is fully ported with all the goodies....

The LT-5 responds very well to mods without sacrificing drive ability....

Another vet with a Vette here. Have a BLK/BLK 94 with 19K on the clock. Both tops, used as show car only. Original window sticker and build sheet. Just had oil change and A/C serviced/charged. Never driven in wet. Undercarriage sparkles. Never modified. Have portable XM receiver installed on original aux line in console with antenna taped on back window (easily removed if not wanted). Showroom car. Would like to get 32500 out of it. Easy ride from Tampa to me in SC. Need to install new back-up switch, have switch just haven't got to it yet, leaving car in reverse (old school rule) doesn't fair well on these switches.
