I bought a ZR1 tonight - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

sledutah · 10-14-2005

I finally found one, and it was only 20 miles from home. After looking for 2 months and looking at a ZR1 in Idaho and San Diego I finally decided on this one. Not my first color choice or rim choice. But the more I looked at it the more I fell in love. It's a '91, red/black. Bought it from a dealer so I don't know what mods have been done other than Power Effect exhaust.
The paper work is done, just need to pick up the money tomorrow at the bank and go get it.
I'll post a link to pics when I get them uploaded.

Hope this works

Congratulations

It looks great, and the red will grow on you. I did not want a red one myself, but eventually fell in love with mine. Your ZR-1 rims look great as well.

Assuming you find the time tomorrow, let us know how much fun you had driving her.

Car belonged to Rob Melbo. Contact him at locobob68 (at) hotmail.com

Car had the following mods.
Power effects exhaust
Ported Plenum and injector housings
Powdercoating on the top end pieces (let me know if you want the center plate on the throttle body to match the rest.

Apparently the last time I heard about the car it had a few trouble lights on.

How could a red Z with A-molds not be your first choice??? Congrats on the purchase, sounds like it should be a blast!

Thanks for the info Jeff. I will email Rob to see if he has any other info.
The only trouble light that comes on intermittently is the "Service LTPWS", I found that to be the low air tire warning so I'm not too concerned about it.
Everything seems to work great and runs strong

PM the cost of the center plate.

Thanks guys. Heading to the bank when they open to get the money and then go pick it up

I really liked the sawtooth rims better in both pics and in person. The pictures of the A-molds do not do justice to them. After I saw them in person, I looked at a Z with sawtooth rims. There is NO comparison which one I liked better then.
I originally was looking for black exterior, but the red does grow on you.
