Default If only I had a 3-car garage...

If only I had a 3-car garage and an extra 35K to throw around. Don't know about anybody else but to me, this is the ULTIMATE ZR-1 porn...

No, but I'm sure they're expecting an outrageous number out of it...I'd guess 45 to 50. It's currently at about 28 on eBay. I think 35 is a realistic number in this market. Just an amazing car.

That car won't go below 40-45 unless the seller (owner) is on crack, or needs a transplant.

95

Yellow

1500 miles

2 owner documented car

You can't get much better than that!

Those are the car that people pay-up for!

Well, they're certainly the ones that people ASK a lot for, but I'm not so sure that people are actually lining up to BUY them at premium prices; let's not forget about the 1600-mile red '91 that just sold at Mecum for 21K. I would love to see evidence of any ZR-1s that have actually SOLD for more than 30K in the past couple of years. All that said, I definitely agree that if any Z will command big money, this is the one. It is clearly a very special car.

I agree, but that zr1 at mecum was ROUGH for a 1600 mile car. Engine bay was dirty, rims were eaten up, really a shame.

Quite a few have sold for more than that, just not at auctions, and with Corvette Mike handling it that car will find a buyer likely in the very high forties, even 50+.
Low mile, rare color, final year, as new, are the ones people want and will pay-up to get.
Wish I had it for sale!

These older zr-1's remind me of m5's and Mercedes 55's you can buy them cheap. Unlike most people here working on your own car is becoming a thing of the past and doing your work is the only why they are affordable.

Having recently tested the waters on the market here in CA, I would say that many people are hesitant to buy a 20 year old car that has a reputation for high maintenance (C4's). My observation is that people want and like cars like the ZR-1, but the truth of the matter is that their are some pretty powerful contemporary cars to be had with warranties. I sold my 50k mi '12 Coyote mustang for $18,500. People do cross-shop and compare. People also want perfect paint...which is a tall order on a car made in 1991...
