**SOLD** 5/7/15 - It is with a heavy heart that I put up for sale my well loved, but seldom driven - 1991 Steel Blue/Steel Blue ZR-1 with about 14,500 miles. Selling with many extra and new parts for XXX obo. This car was professionally appraised at purchase for $34,000.
Contact Bert with any questions and for high definition pictures of complete car. Immaculate condition with no issues whatsoever. Always stored and covered inside. Meticulously maintained by professional LT5 trained mechanic and Wazoo club members. Everything works perfectly (yes, everything). My ZR-1 has been awarded the coveted Celebrity Choice Trophy by both Gordon Killebrew and Dave McLellan, Corvette Program chief Engineer for at 2011 AND 2012 Corvettes of Carlisle! This is a very rare car - 1 of only 26 Steel Blue exterior & Steel Blue interior ZR1’s built. Bought and fully restored with just 3,400 miles, drives/runs/operates better than new! Last year, I drove this amazing car cross-country from MD to CO without incident, averaging 28 mpg. PM me for my maintenance logs, appraisal and more - $5,800+ in repairs, new tires, and maintenance. Includes professionally installed Pioneer stereo / navigation / blue tooth, using original factory mounting locations - no interior trim changed (all original radio parts and speakers avail.), cross drilled new rotors and brake pads, OBX polished stainless steel exhaust (orig. exhaust in storage), front suspension camber brace, C-Beam plates, and Haibeck chip (default on power key and radiator fans come on at lower temp.). The original LT-5 engine gray Factory Finish is very fragile resulting in most deteriorating and or becoming stained by improper cleaning… NOT THE CASE HERE - The heart of the ZR-1 is the LT-5 engine; with this car you can take pride in its appearance and show off what is arguably the best looking engine Chevrolet ever produced. Extensive literature, books, manuals and car cover included. Car is in exceptional overall condition deserving a rating of at least 9.5+ on a 10pt. scale. ![]() (MORE PICTURES PAGE BOTTOM) Maintenance and Upgrades Include: 1. Haibeck BRXBG2SDA chip 2. New Stainless Steel Delphi Injectors x 16 3. All vacuum lines either replaced and/or tied off by professional GM trained LT5 mechanic 4.

Thanks AZ for your kind words. Medical bills and a new start-up business force me to sell my favorite car of all time.

I can attest that this is a beautiful car and is well worth the asking price. The car is really clean. Rare steel blue color is my favorite. Sorry to see you have to sell it. I hope the medical situation is cared for and the new business endeavor takes off well. GLWS Bert.

Bert,
Sorry to hear about your situation. Someone is going to get one fine ZR-1. I hope that something changes for you to be able to keep it, but I know that this will come for all of us. That is such a nice color and one of my favorites. Best wishes.

Bert,
Hope all is well with your health !, your car looks outstanding and I'm sure (as most Steel Blues do ) looks better in person than in pics. All the right mods, low miles just perfect. Of course I am just a tad bit partial to SB ! GLWS.
