1991 ZR-1 Auto Masters "Street Skinner #1" FS/FT

[JShort]

Very special ZR-1. This is "Street Skinner #1" from Jim Van Dorn's Auto Masters. It's also the beautiful Quasar Blue (1 of 71 for 1991). Mechanically flawless. Meticulously maintained. Extremely clean. All documentation since 1994. VERY highly documented car. It was also featured in multiple Corvette magazines in the late 90's. Originally delivered/sold by Malcolm Konner Chevrolet in Paramus, NJ.

No accidents, all original paint, clean Carfax. 80k miles on the car. The engine conversion was done at 45k miles.

The Street Skinner package was rated at 460hp (without headers). The car now has headers and is probably around 500hp. Doug Rippie Motorsports ported heads and intake. Stock cams (stock drivability). The mods are in line with what you would get in the Haibeck 500 package.

I have extensive documentation with the car. Nearly everything since 1994. There is a photo album that the original owner (Tom Sullivan) put together with a ton of pictures from Auto Masters during the build including pictures of Scott Skinner from Mercury Marine assembling the engine himself. I also have a copy of all the Corvette magazines that featured the car. Pizza box, window sticker, build sheet, dealer brochure, etc... Many parts on the car have been replaced on the car over the years as needed. This is not a ZR-1 that requires $3-5k worth of maintenance. No electrical issues. I've pressed every button. Everything works. Heat is hot, A/C blows cole.

The car is extremely clean. And I'm picky. The condition is along the lines of most of the 20-30k mile, well-cared for ZR-1's I've personally seen at Carlisle. The paint is the worst part of the car, but it's probably a 8.5 out of 10. Again, I'm REAL picky. Most people would say the paint is "near perfect". For a 1991, it's impressively nice and looks beautiful. There are some small imperfection and defects in a few areas as to be expected with the original paint; however, nothing significant. The windshield has minimal delamination. The delamination is concentrated to the outside 1.5" edge. The interior is gorgeous. No funky smell (non-smoker since day 1, no musty/mildew, no black ice air freshener, etc..). The driver's seat shows nearly zero wear, including the bolster.

The underside of the car looks like new. It's not even dirty. Lifelong California, Arizona, and North Carolina car. Just gorgeous.

Modifications:
-Auto Masters "Street Skinner" engine package (Doug Rippie ported heads, intake plenum, etc...)
-Shortblock rebuilt/blueprinted personally by Scott Skinner (Mercury Marine) - numbers matching
-Engine Powder Coated - Silver
-1996 Grand Sport front calipers powder coated black
-1995 GM ZR-1 "A-mold" 5-spoke wheels (OEM silver)
-Toyo R888 front tires (275/40-17)
-Toyo R888 rear tires (315/35-17)
-Side windows tinted
-Rear window tinted
-Watson 1 7/8" coated headers
-B&B Tri Flow stainless 3" exhaust
-Transmission rebuilt by ZF
-New clutch (less than 2k miles)
-4.10 gears

The only issues that the car currently has is that the tach reads high (very common issue) and the weatherstripping around the door has cracking (still seals).

I'm asking $29,000 (4/30 update: lowered to $23,500). I will also entertain partial trades for cars plus cash. The only cars that I'd be interested in are stock ZR-1's, base C4 (stock or modified), or 4th generation Camaro/Firebirds.

I am located in Rochester, NY.

It's a bit of a story. I essentially "overbought" this car. I started looking for a C4 ZR-1 last year. My budget was considerably lower than this car and I was really looking for a stock(ish) car.

This car dropped right in my lap. A friend of mine that works for a local dealership contacted me saying that they took a ZR-1 in on trade (toward a 2018 Grand Sport) knowing that I was looking for one. I went to look at it and was impressed. At that time, there was no documentation or any idea that it was Street Skinner #1. After months sitting in the indoor storage area of the dealership, it remained unsold. I started doing more research on the car and ended up finding a picture of it online (unique stripes). I then found a previous listing for the car and saw some information regarding its history. More research revealed just what the car was/is; however, the documentation and details were still missing.

After some time, my friend was able to contact the previous owner who thankfully still had all of the documentation. Apparently he thought it was unimportant to disclose the history of the car and/or include the documentation. So, the history of this car was nearly lost. We ended up having to pay additional money for the previous owner to release the documentation to us. But, we had to have it.

Knowing the history of the car and how unique it is (and having the documentation), I came up considerably in price and purchased it. It was somewhat of an emotional purchase since the car was too great to chance leaving the ZR-1 community (where it belongs) and go to an unknowing person. It was too convenient of a purchase being 10 miles from my house.

In the end, I'm in a car that's about $10k more than I was looking for. I already own a 2009 Z06 that is heavily modified and really just wanted a C4 ZR-1 to cruise in.

I don't need to sell it and am happy to enjoy it. It's just a more expensive Z that I was intending for my purpose and decided to put it up for sale to see if there was interest.

Beautiful and special Z. GLWS

Good story. I'm glad to see you spent the time and money to get the documentation and keep it with the car :icon_thum

Price lowered to $27,000 and I’m flexible on that.

[GOLDCYLON]

Gents enough. The comments stop now. GC

[JShort]

GOLDCYLON - Thank you for cleaning that up for me :)

Pulled it out of the garage and put another coat of Zaino on. Price lowered to $25k.

Maintenance log with details. Many new parts over time. This car doesn’t need the $3-5k in maintenance like a lot of used Z’s do.

Does it have 4:10 rear end like most Haibeck upgraded cars have?

It's finally starting to get nicer here in the Northeast. I pulled it out of the garage, took it for a drive, and snapped a bunch of pictures today:

Pictures of each A-mold. A few small marks/scratches, but nothing bad. Zero curb rash and no rims are bent. Yes, I know they have Collectors Edition center caps :)

A true "tuner-car".
Great condition, superb documentation, desirable color combo, and a GREAT price!
Those of you looking for a great car should look at this one far more closely!
Good luck with the sale!
:cheers:

Marty, thanks for nice words.

Dropping the price to $23,500.

Oh man...I love that color.

I remember that car when Sullivan owned it. I used to hang around AutoMasters a lot back in the day. In fact, I owned a 95 with the StreetSkinner package. It had all the regular StreetSkinner stuff plus a few extras of my own. When JVD and I were done with the project, it made 413 at the wheels SAE-corrected. Back then we used .82 as the correction factor which worked out to 503-hp SAE at the flywheel and that was with stock manifolds and cats.

My car has the 3.45 axle but a number of StreetSkinners had 4.10s. I decided to keep the stock axle as I was not regularly drag racing the car and I liked the idea of it being capable of 180-mph.

Sadly, the StreetSkinner package didn't see to help the selling price when I let the car go. I ended up taking just a bit less than your current asking price, but then...the paint on my car wasn't as nice. Actually, just about everything appearance-wise about your car was just a bit better than mine.

Car is clean as a whistle. It will make someone a really nice buy.

Update - the car actually has 4.10 gears :)

The salt finally is off the roads here in western NY and I took the car to work two days this week (80 mile round trip). The car runs flawlessly. This was the first time I was really able to take it on the highway for some distance other than when I test drove it last summer quickly. It didn't take long to see that the speedometer was off by a few miles per hour at highway speed. My initial thought was that the car might actually have 3.73 gears. I was able to get the car in the air today and checked for myself. 4.10 driveshaft revolutions per one tire revolution. That was a nice surprise! The gears make no noise. Very nice install. The LTPWS light is on now. I have 4 sensors that I will/can include with the vehicle purchase. I bought the tires/wheels already mounted so I'm not sure if there are sensors in them. The light didn't come on until I drove more than 30 miles consecutively. Now I wonder if the speedometer has been off since the engine work was done at Auto Masters. If so, the car probably only has 75k miles in reality ;)

Hib - Thank you for the words! One of the Corvette magazines I have from the 90's with my car in it was written by you (at Auto Masters). And yes, I agree: The color of this car is amazing. I think that it might actually be my favorite C4 color now. It really "pops" in the sun.

BTW - how many miles did your car have on it when you sold it? I remember seeing it for sale a year or two ago and thought it might have been around 90k miles. I appreciate the price reference that you sold yours for.

I took a few pictures while I was under the car today to show the cleanliness:

The bushings at the end of the spring (rear) need to be replaced. I noticed they were cracked a couple months ago when I was inspecting the car. I have a set of new ones to include with the car already. I may actually be able to install them this weekend.
