Default Anyone in the Raleigh/Durham area?

I'm interested in a ZR-1 in that area and was wondering if anyone would be willing to take a look at it for me.

I'm trying to find the replacement for my '91 that was taken by Hurricane Isaac.

I haven't come to terms with my insurance company yet, but wanted to go ahead and get the search going for the replacement.

Thanks,
Jep

Thanks for the offer. I ended up backing off of that car because of paint issues (swirl marks, chips and scratches). I just got back from Florida with a super clean 1991 Steel Blue Metallic car with 62,000 miles.

Thanks, I'm sure that your Admiral Blue/Gray is a looker!

Jep,

Congrats on the Steel Blue Metallic Z

Best color in my option but I could be a little bias Interior color?

As Daniel said above, we will defiantly need to get together sometime being that we are fairly close.

Jep, congrats on the new "Z"!! At least you'll have some new bumper moldings if you need them.

Interested to see it. Does it need the usual TLC, or is it it nearly perfect?

Daniel, CJ, Brett & Mike,

Thanks!

It is Steel Blue Metallic with matching interior. Car has had a repaint. Paint is not perfect, but not too bad either. Car is not show quality, but is very clean. Looks to have been garage kept through most if not all of it's life. Engine top end needs to be re-finished, but engine compartment and undercarriage are very clean. Mechanically and electrically, it's very sound. The only issue so far is a bad AC compressor, which was disclosed by the seller. I haven't had a chance to get any pictures yet, but here are some from the seller's ad:


















Plans are to install the following, which I alraeady have:

C5 Z06 calipers and rotors
Polished GM A-molds (17x9.5 & 17x12) with Michelin Pilot Sports
4.10 rear
Swaintech coated SW headers
Corsa exhaust
ZF Doc beam plates and short throw shifter
AO Engineering air filter housing

It sure felt good to be behind the wheel of a Z again (it's been about 2 years). Permagrin is back!!

More to come!!

Jep
