1992 ZR-1 for $12,900

[Karl]

I wonder what happened to the car to need a new windshield and it ending up at an auction.

Looks like you got a very good deal for the car.

Hope it works out for you!

*Edit* I just remembered the car also has DRM trailing arm brackets in the rear and up front a bump steer kit vs traditional tie rods.

Windshield = 200mph Texas sand?
I drained the full oil catch can. Smelled like gas looked like oil.

Des Moines, IA is home today. Problem free. Yellow gets way more attention than other colors!

From WI, what can I say besides drink up!

Yes it does, especially with a set of nice wheels!

Glad to see the car back in the Midwest! 👍

Keep everyone updated.

What are you plans for the car?

Nothing like my first.....

Anyway, maintenance done by Pete.

From what I recall:

Ford injectors
Ported intake by Pete
Fidanza aluminum flywheel
Aluminum radiator (sorry I can't recall the brand. Was a direct fit)
Mishimoto silicone hoses
Under drive & lightweight water pump pulley
Lightweight power steering pulley
OBX headers
B&B exhaust
X-Pipe
Oil catch can
1990 zf-6 transmission
R&D racing cross bar
Chip from Pete
Replaced rear sway bar bushings
New front wheel bearings
DRM coilovers
No spare tire
New fuel pumps and filter
ZF Doc beam plates.
Center force clutch
ZF Doc short throw shifter
Replaced ignition coils with gm parts

I believe that is it. I may be missing a few minor things.

I will try and find the chassy dyno video on YouTube. Car made I believe 342 on a chassy dyno after the mods.

Air conditioning worked and car never ran hot. I believe there is an auxiliary fan I never connected in from of the ac condenser.

Wow!!! $12,900 seems like a "give away" for a 92 ZR-1 w/ that pedigree!

To get any ZR-1 for $12,900.00 is a pretty damn good score.

To get one that runs for $12,900.00 is even better.

To get one that runs well for $12,900.00 is a home-run.

To get this one with all of the above plus some damn fine upgrades is a Grand Slam, out of the park home run in game 7 of the World Series!

Well Bought for certain!

Thanks for the nice comments! I agree!
Made it home with no issues. After 985 miles I checked the oil this morning and only 1/2 quart down. 1,185 miles total. Only Issue was noticed after washing the car immediately after getting home. Car was at operating temp. Had my first oil leak to date. I will investigate. The oil spot shown below is 6" in diameter and at a different location than the other pictures. But this spot occurred in the time I washed and dried the car. FYI

Im thinking transmission? Oil seems too black. I was parked there for maybe 10 minutes. Shifter handle on first day was hot to the touch, fine after that. Thoughts?

Difficult to tell from the pictures.

Best thing is to jack up the car and check underneath.

Would be a good time for a changing of all the fluids.
