Greetings all!
I'm new to the forum and would love to hear your perspectives on this car.
I actually was interested in it two weeks ago when it appeared on the DFW Craigslist for $17,500. However, the pictures (multiple different cars shown in different locations that didn't look very similar), the text of the ad, and the vague response to my inquiry led me to believe that the ad was probably a scam. Apparently not...
Anyway, I'm still interested in the car and would to find out if anyone happens to be familiar with this specific ZR-1 and its history. The selling dealer states that he acquired it in a trade and has very little background information on it. However, it appears that it's been in Texas its entire life.
Any red flags for you guys on the car? DRM500RUBYZR-1 and Racinfan83 bring up a good point about the potential of a pilot bearing failure given the squeaking sound in the video. What is the consensus? Could that noise be a pilot bearing? It doesn't seem to be an inexpensive or easy repair...
Thanks for any input that you can provide. Oh, and as a bit of background, I'm a bit of a car nut having owned over 70 cars over the last 30 years. Mostly Euro stuff and American muscle/pony cars. However, there has been a couple of Corvettes as well including an '87 C4. I currently have a 3.2 Carrera but would like to pick up another C4 - preferably a ZR-1.
Cheers,
