!!!NOT FOR SALE ANYMORE!!!

1990 ZR-1 #2517
Bright red, red interior, blue acrylic top
45,000 miles

$17,500

Interior and exterior are in great shape. The car runs strong, shifts great, and sounds wicked.

Email is the best way to contact me.

Typical '90 problems have been addressed while I've owned it:

New injectors
New starter
New coil packs, plug wires
2ndary vacuum system replaced
Bose speakers rebuilt by Bose
Samco coolant and PCV hoses

Performance upgrades:

Haibeck ported plenum, injector housings, 63mm throttle body
Haibeck installed long-tube headers, cats, air tubes. Car passes VA visual and tailpipe emissions tests
Haibeck in-person tune
Corsa exhaust
Hurst short-throw shifter
Baer 6-piston front brakes with 2-piece rotors
Baer 2-piece plus-sized rear rotors with caliper relocation bracket

Problems:

A/C stopped working at the end of last summer
Driver's side floormat has bald patch from my heel
CD player does not accept CD
Front bumper has some road rash

I will get some "for-sale" pictures, hopefully tomorrow. Until then, here are some older pictures of it:

I would consider this car stolen at that price. Somebody is going to get one sweet car with a lot of tasteful mods. GLWTS

Any idea on AC problem?

Aurora40 · 02-13-2011

Ugh... I hate to come off all emotional, but I took the car on a drive to snap some pictures of it. Taking the pictures to sell it was really putting a knot in my stomach. The drive home, opening it up a bit, I was feeling sick about it.

I can't sell the car. It looks too good and sounds too nice. There's lots of little stuff I hate about C4's, the rattles, the crashy ride, the crap headlights, etc. But those things that are right about it are really right. The trans and engine are a dream, and the style is a knockout.

I'm sort of sick of working on the car, of spending money, and of it taking up space if I'm not going to drive it frequently. But I may have to change my expectation, and try driving it more just for fun, and less frequently.

Not selling, best news I have heard all week.

Could you talk to ITLGO2, CE-LT4, and Sgreg. See if you can get them to change their minds also.

Wow, some great upgrades.

I think you just need to drive it more and work on it less for a while.

I find just drive it and enjoy it for a while , then I'll get case of upgradeitis, typically one major episode a year. This year its wheels, tires and brakes.

Next year, I sense a port and polish coming on....
