Put a 1000 miles on it would seriously devalue this car. If you want a perfect
trailer queen, there it is.

“New” ZR-1’s are popping up left & right, have been looking almost daily. Looked at this ’90, it is a virtual time capsule.

Agree wholeheartedly...

It would NOT make a driver, without serious fluid-systems overhaul, as another posted:

Just once, I'd like to see someone step up with the extra bucks to buy this old jewel, freshen it up, and run it hard. Resale be damned.

Someone on CF boards got a divorce car (89 convertible? 2,200 miles, IIRC), that had been sitting in a condo garage, for 20 years. I think he got it for a song, and had to $ing 2 $ongs equivalent to get it roadworthy...

In late nineties my family drove to the Bloomington Gold show
which I think was by then being held on the golf course outside
Chicago. One day my daughter and I walked over to watch the auction.
A few minutes later the nastiest sounding Vette I have ever heard
drove on to the stage.

If memory serves it was a 1967 L-88 with 32 miles on it. The bidding
started at $150,000 and I knew then it was going to be fun to watch.
It sold for well over $600,000, around $640,000 if I remember right.
It was a new record for Corvettes at the time. Interestingly, L88s still
go for about the same amount, $500-600,000.

So thats my retirement plan now. Buy a few ZR1's with very low miles
and sell them for $600,000 each when I retire. I'm on the lookout.

With current ZR-1 values (severly under-valued), I hope your not planning on retiring any time soon...
Remember: L88s only have one cam and you could get a Big Block in a school bus but not an LT5...

Haha, no I have a few years to go. Don't trust the stock market anymore
so have to park the money somewhere. I don't see Z's going any lower.

Park your money under your matress. Other than that, you're only making money for someone else.

It is nice knowing some people will buy and store a car, then sell it 20 plus years later for 30% of what they bought it for. I will drive mine and when it wears out I will just buy another one...

Or in my case 50% less. Paid $31K in 1993 and barely worth $15 now.

But I have also seen '67 big blocks go from the teens in early '80s
to six figures by the late '90s. Not sure the Z will do the same but
you never know.

If I had bought '67 big blocks instead of tech stocks, I'd still have a lot more of my money today.

BTW there were 9687 1967 BBs made and they are worth a bunch. For
comparison there are only 7000 ish ZR1s.
