WTB 1991 Corvette ZR-1 in Turquoise Metallic - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Obiwan · 02-11-2015

Hello,

If anyone is interested is selling their 1991 Corvette ZR-1 in Turquoise Metallic or happens to know where one would be for sale please let me know. If I can't locate one, I would also contemplate a 1992-1995 ZR-1 in Bright Aqua as well. Im looking for an example that is in excellent condition and has been very well maintained. I am not opposed to mods or performance enhancements so long as the car runs and drives excellent. I would be buying outright but would also consider trades for my ultra rare 1987 Buick Turbo-T WE4 with factory CF5 Astroroof and 16k original miles.

Best regards,

Obiwan

Obiwan,

Out of curiosity, what's your motivation for looking to acquire a ZR-1? Just asking.

Obiwan · 02-12-2015

Over the last 17 years, I have had the pleasure of owning three. Each time I dabble into other makes, models, and styles of performance machines I found my self asking "Why did you do that". Nothing else has ever felt or sounded like a ZR-1, I believe that it is as close to an exotic as America can get. The ZR-1 was the first vehicle I ever loved but also the first machine that ever frightened me. I have danced with the; C5 Z06, LS6 CTS-V, 440 6-Pack Road Runner, Porshe Cayman S, C6 Z06, Testarossa, and the Turbo Buick, but I always come back to that first love.

Obi,

Thank you for that. I haven't had the pleasure of driving some of the high performance stuff you listed, but to know that you're experience is similar to mine and others is really gratifying. So its not just me then!? There is something of a enduring quality and personality of the car.

Obiwan, I know what you mean. I too have owned many interesting exotics, including a Hemi Roadrunner, Porsche C4, Ferrari 308, a Healey 3000, Jeep SRT8, a 54 Aston, several XKEs and other British cars. I've owned a ZR-1 for more years than any other car. I thought I was done with ZR-1s when I sold my 93 in 2007. But I came back with WARP TEN in 2012. It is now for sale (any interest in a green/beige one?) but who knows if I will be back if and when it sells. Meanwhile, going to enjoy it and head for BG in May. --Bob

Very far for you, but it looks like a very nice car. Good luck.

Gents,

Thanks you for the leads thus far. The Phoenix AZ ZR-1 looks like a nice one, Does anyone know if we happen to have any members in that area that might be able take a look at it and identified any of the model specific problem areas?

phrogs · 02-12-2015

Don't be afraid to ship it. Every car I own right now I had to ship.

It's a 2-plus hour drive North to Flagstaff for me, and it would be very difficult to get up there. BUT, if you talk with this guy and you seriously think this is the car for you - pending an inspection - then I'm sure that one of us here in the Phoenix area can help. Or maybe the guy would meet one of us halfway or something?

Daryll, your place is about halfway to Flagstaff!
