Need a car cover for a 1990 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hi- new owner just got our 1990. Ordered an indoor/outdoor cover that was suppose to be a custom fit. It fit perfect in the front and over the side mirrors but did not fit the back end. Thanks.

Sounds like you received a cover for a base C4. You'll need one for a ZR-1 which is 3" wider in the rear. Most of the Corvette aftermarket suppliers carry them.

Welcome and congrats on your 90 as stated above you need a cover made for the ZR-1s wide butt.

Welcome to the "Brotherhood (and sisterhood) of The Beast!!"

I just did a quick scan of my favorite sites - NOT MUCH in the way of a ZR-1 specific cover, EXCEPT for the "BUBBLE" type that enclose the car in...well...a plastic bubble.

Someone may have a lead on one, OR you might have to have one custom made. (Guess we'll see what turns up - then we'll ALL know!

If you only require an indoor cover Walmart sell the BURGE brand. Size # 3 fits my 90 like a glove.

FWIW: The Covercraft Evolution 3 cover from MA I used
on my '89 L98 fits my ZR-1 just fine... Had it for about 12 years,
still in good shape. Used indoors...

I have both a ZR-1 and a regular C4 cover from Wolf both fit but the rear is snug on the regular cover.

Didn’t think to compare the cover during the short
period I had both cars. Could very well be tighter, but not by much?
However, the garage looked pretty good with 2 Vette in it!
The Bride was upset that she lost HER garage space for the short
period it took to sell the 89...
