ZR-1 Pricing over the years - Page 4 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

BigIke · 11-06-2014

Bought my '91 #1616 with 56k on the clock. I think it's had 4 owners, had 48k on the clock in '02. The guy I got it from had it for a few air conditioned garaged months. He traded a C2 for it.

Picked it up for 14k, has a few chips, and a spider web in the hood. Need to troubleshoot FX3 and TPS.

What an amazing car, I hope to own this one for many years to come, the rest of them if possible!

I bought my third ZR-1 this past June. It's a 1995 that two previous owners, both collectors, thought they'd make a big profit from. When I bought it it had just 1853 miles on the clock and had never been wet underneath. I bought my first ZR-1 brand new in 1990, but my '95 is every bit as much a new car...and I love it. The '95 is torch red with a gray interior. It is totally stock except for the Haibeck chip and some new Nitto tires that I added to it. The purchase price for this car was $42K this past June, and I certainly think it was worth every penny of it.

We all understand supply and demand but for insurance valuation plus assisting how much a classic is worth I default to Hagerty Insurance. No, this is not an ad pushing Hagerty, just explaining a valuation tool available to us. As an example; the average price for a 1990 ZR1 is $23,904. Price based upon dealer, auctions, peer-to-peer and Hagerty expertise. Hagerty uses 4 condition codes and has prices for those codes. Hagerty shows the values heading north. We should all like that.
I purchased my 1990 ZR1 3 months ago. 3rd owner, 10,000 miles, red on red, original tires, wheels, exhaust, air filter was preserved by the 2nd owner who also took the car through the NCRS process. The previous owner achieved the Cross Flag Award. I paid $25,000. This car was the first C4 ZR1 to achieve the NCRS Cross Flag Award and is well documented. According to Hagerty, a Code Condition (CC) 2 is $33,600 with a CC 1 at $47,300. I did not overpay. In fact, I got a great deal. Hope this helps fellow ZR1 owners.

congrats on your ncrs quality zr1. Obviously it is very original with the original tires. You did not overpay and in fact underpaid. I hope you can enjoy this type of museum piece car. You will certainly make money if you hold on to it and sell it in a few years if you keep the miles to almost nothing.

Tks Ed.
I see you live in Homestead, FL. When I was in the U.S. Army stationed at Hunter Army Airfield, deployed along with the 82nd Airborne Division, to secure and help with the destruction of Hurricane Andrew. There was such massive destruction it looked like a war zone. I'll never forget it.
Hope the area has come back and wish you well.

Sam,

I did not live in Homestead on that fateful day of august 24, 1992. I lived around coral reef drive in south miami which was also destroyed. i totally lost my house and my entire neighborhood. My big block 1971 Corvette was damaged as my supercharged mustang convertible but life goes on. I moved to homestead in 2007 and it is so different you would not recognize it. Many new neighborhoods and developments, shopping malls, schools etc.. It is the last bastian in south florida where you can get a decent house at a decent price. There are no crowds and no traffic and the country fields are just minutes away. Homestead is also the last of the main land before the start of the florida keys. We just had the nascar 400 race end a few minutes ago. I can hear the roar of the engines from my house.

Homestead is a nice place to live and I would not go back to Miami to put up with the hustle and bustle. The base closed for a while and now its operational again. We have f-16's and all kinds of stuff going on in there but it is not the size it once was before the hurricane. Andrew wiped out homestead completely and I give those homesteaders kudos for keeping the faith and making a go of it. I want to thank you for your service to our country. Happy Holidays.

It was an honor to serve.

Funny, the talk about Hurricane Andrew brings back how the wild life at the zoo were running wild.

Hurricane Andrew nostalgia 'eh? Just kidding, that was a tough time for us Miami folks. My home in downtown Miami was damaged and, rather than remodel, we moved out of the city and up to Jupiter. Love the area.

But this is about ZR-1's.
You can call me an "early adopter". I bought mine exactly 20 years ago back when they were still making them, in November 1994. I bought it from Corvette Mike in L.A. A pristine 91' with 3K mi. for $35K, (about half the new price at the time). The kid and I flew out to L.A. and drove it home. Why pay $$ to ship when you can have an adventure with your son for the same money.
I still have it, and I think I'll keep it. I used to flog the car at Moroso, now Palm Beach International Raceway, every time I put a new bolt-on on the car. Not so much anymore. Getting old and slow.

RyanChappel · 11-20-2014

on Mother's Day, 2009. We drove my wife's Buick SUV to haul back the original sawblades and GY tires, pizza box, complete manual set, orignal oil cooler lines and fittings..even the original wiper blades. Mileage was
15,075. Paid $25K. Marc went through the car in '10, Accel injectors, chip, tune, couple of master cylinder flushes, Rebuild the CD and Speakers, skip kit, fixed the exhaust stud oil leak, refinished exhaust, re-anodized tips,

Guess I have about $ 28K+- in the car...now has right at 20K miles.

It is a blessing to have owned and enjoyed one for such a long time. It was a smart move to drive her home and make an event of it. Andrew was rough but the regrowth has been huge. before andrew population in homestead was 26k people.. now 60k in homestead. I moved out of miami because of congestion and a chance to pick up a nice house for next to nothing after 2 divorces. Homestead is nice place to live and plus I live 2 miles from the Homestead track which have lots of events. Jupiter is a very nice place and I have had the pleasure to work there many times. Almost moved to Titusville a few years ago but stayed in Homestead.
