<<<<<<<Car has been sold>>>



FWIW, I'm not leaving the group (membership approved for 2020) I've decided that this car is too original to modify and it would be a great addition to a collection or at least a garage where it will be driven and enjoyed the way it is. Once it finds a new home, I will reveal the LT5 I'm replacing it with....

What makes this car unique ( besides it low mileage) is that

1) It's low production Dark Red Metallic exterior (97/2044 in 1991)
2) California Emissions Car
3) ALL the mechanical & known ZR-1 issues have been addressed
4) Earned an NCRS top flight award on its first attempt - score of 99.5%
5) Complete LT5 top end paint restoration looks better than new
6) Overall, it is in AMAZING condition and show ready the way it sits. The new owner could easily go forward in the NCRS award process or could drive it just the way it is.

Most of the pictures are with the second set of original GM 94-95 A-mold wheels with new michelin pilot sport tires installed. ( available separately).

Car comes with the original wheels with original/ functioning low pressure sensors/warning decals in place and period correct Goodyear gatorback tires for judging purposes or car shows.

Located north of Denver, Co about 15 miles. I can pick up any potential buyer at DIA. I can also deliver w/in a reasonable distance.

I enjoy the cars but not the "Game" of buying/selling. Rather than consign the car or list it for top dollar , I've listed the car at what I think is a fare price based on historic/recent sales along with the condition/mileage/NCRS status it has been awarded...

I'm not willing to roll the dice on a "no reserve" auction and these cars dont get much love in an auction environment, with few exceptions. I feel the best place for cars like these are with Marty in NJ. Unfortuneatly, I live 2000 miles away from him.

Ive thought about it. Z's havent done that well on BaT. I guess we'll see where the white 95' goes thats currently listed. Maybe that red/red 90' at BJ will put these cars onto collectors radar.
