1995 Yellow ZR-1... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

...with 96 original miles just sold, today, for $125K

That is a good number and it's about time. There is no way that these cars should be bringing less money than Fox body mustangs, Supras etc. I wouldn't be surprised if this will look cheap in the years to come.

Yep... as I said on Facebook, I'd like a bunch more of them, but I think I'm too late! I've got the one (same combo) and will keep it (+ my LT4) forever, they're too much fun! Good to see them valued finally. I do agree, it's bizarre to see IROCs, Fox bodies, Supras, which were so much more common, commanding more than our ZR-1s. But, reality is, so many more Corvettes were stored away with no miles and are just coming out of hiding. It's so cool to see one new in the wrapper almost 30 years later!

I too have a 92 ZR1 and also a LT4, love them both. I am glad to see these cars are finally getting appreciated, back in the day, Mustangs and IROCS could not even get close to styling and power.

Was that one that sold one of the last, like 447, 448?--Bob

Looks like #232

zyal8r · 05-25-2023

Yeah, this one was #232.

445, 446, and 447 all were for sale within the last 12 years:

There isn't a date on it, but here was #445: https://classiccars.com/listings/vie...illinois-61822

#446 I last saw for sale in 2011, with ~2300 miles on it, for $36k - best I can do on a link is here on the forum - https://zr1.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-13753.html; I captured all the pictures at the time somewhere in my archives.

#447, last I saw it sold in 2019, had about ~670 miles on it. It changed hands a couple of times, 2014/Mecum (Mecum still says bid to 85k and still going), and 2019 was at another auction house (Sotheby's) - https://classiccars.com/listings/vie...-arizona-85016

Yeah, okay, I have stalked these things for a long time!

One of the last cars in 95 is here in Norway I believe. Spoke to the owner last year at the norwegian Corvette Nationals and he told me about it.
