Prices and Valuation

[Dynomite]

Doing modifications of any kind is just fine in South Dakota. I know a guy that has 5 ZR-1s and all are now in perfect running condition with NO Codes of any kind. He obtained the ZR-1s for between $14K and $19K.

One thing not mentioned is reliability and once the basic stuff (A Top End Restoration including Starter, Alternator, Vacuum System and Valley clean up).......the ZR-1s will run forever. The Top End Restoration usually takes three days.....disassembly and cleaning the first day, Thinking the second day, and Reassembly the third day. The Replacement parts are the normal (Injectors 50% of time, Vacuum System 25% of time, Coils 75% of time, Plugs 100% of time, Plug wires 100% of time, Secondary Linkage (100% of time because it is so cheap to replace). Also 100% of the time I include New Serpentine Belt, New Injector "O" Rings, SS Plenum Allen Bolts, New Charcoal Canister and New PCV Hoses (includes all 4), Fuel Pressure Regulating Valve Vacuum hose, Map Vacuum hose.. The rest of the restoration consists of degreasing, wire brushing. pressure washing, painting, and final adjustments including INFL REST reconditioning. Almost forgot.....New Radiator Hoses and New Aluminum Radiators (Fluidyne, Dewitt, Ron Davis), Differential Drain Plug, ZFdoc C4 Beam Plates and new 180 deg Thermostats 100% of the time. And......Haibeck CHIP 100% of the time.


This ALL after a basic Compression Test.

And....And.......Always BLOCK TB Coolant at the Injector Housing and Install Differential Drain Plug as well as ZFdoc C4 Beam Plates.
And.....Always install SS Braided Oil Coolant Hoses as well as Billet Aluminum Pulleys (Water Pump, Power Steering, Belt Tensioner).
And......ALWAYS Change ALL Fluids for a good starting point.
And.......Sometimes install C5-Z06 Calipers with Wilwood Rotors and SW Headers/Exhaust (That Combination goes together).
And.......Sometimes install C5-Z06 Calipers with Wilwood Rotors and SW Headers/Exhaust (That Combination goes together).
Sometimes install a new Oil Pan Gasket just to keep any and all oil off the garage floor. This includes checking the Oil Pump Cover Plate.

I do some other stuff like the guy who has 5 ZR-1s just because working on the LT5/ZR-1 is soooooooo much fun.

1991 ZR-1 restored with 500+ horsepower


As I recall.....the guy with the 5 ZR-1s picked them up for between $14K and $19K (19K for a 95 in mint condition).
