Nice car bowtieguy, love the color. Good luck with the sale! I wish I had more garage space for more ZR-1s.... That dark red would look awesome next to the other two cars.

Thank you. it was A LOT of elbow grease getting it to this point, but I saw its potential when I first looked at it. Even drove it home 60 miles "carefully". The 250 or so miles I put on it after the mechanicals were complete left a smile on my face, so I will have another.

Just an FYI because I follow these pretty closely. First chart is all C4's sold and unsold on BAT. Second is just ZR-1's sold.

That chart, and I am confident that it is correct, is the most convincing evidence to avoid that method of selling a ZR-1.

I am not at all comforted that they can get base C-4 money for a ZR-1.
It is not difficult to (sell?) a $100.00 bill for $ 73.50.

While NCRS will not provide numbers of ZR-1's that have earned a Top Flight,
(that is for you Doug ), one can be sure that it is a very small subset of ZR-1's.
Those judging sheets explain to a buyer exactly what to expect in terms of authenticity, condition, and the cosmetics of the car. the mileage and the repair records validate what to expect in terms of need for repairs etc.

Those are the reasons why that car is worth far more than an average ZR-1, which is certainly already far more than a base C-4.

Those attributes may mean nothing to most of the crowd looking for an auction bargain.

That car does not need "selling".
It will sell itself.
It just needs to be seen by a serious buyer looking for a high quality low mile car.

Best of luck with the sale!!!

previous plates were expired. These were the only current vette plates I had at the tiem these pictures were taken. They are now just wall hangers along with all my other vintage tags.
