1990 #56 ? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Is anyone familar with #56 1990? Here is a link to the ad and I was thinking of going to look at it. I can see the front bumper is a little off and of course the wheels are not 1990 wheels but it has a clean carfax and is priced OK. Any help would be great.

Thanks

What do you mean about the bumper being off? Dunno anything about the car, but it looks nice in the pictures. The hood emblem looks maybe faded, though also that camera seems to play some odd tricks so who knows.

Hood looks like it linens up fine at the doors. The bumper may be a bit off kilter, but overall looks fine. I would have to see it in person and look at the gaps.

Not a bad deal.

The gap along the front bumper is a little wider at one side compared to the other. Is this a sign of anything or just a loose fitting? I may go and check it out tonight and see how it is in person. I will keep you posted on what I find.
Thanks

At 75M+ I would wonder what has been replaced. If the injectors haven't been it's probably about time. Pretty small item but something to look at.

No driver side seat bolster it looks like. The front bumper is a little off , maybe it was tapped or something.

Looks good to me. Nice early production number too. And its even in the right colors...

Well... if you are interested in this particular ZR the pics provided are crap... they need to send you a lot more detailed pics and better quality.. engine bay, suspension, interior and exterior etc. This could be a excellent buy but would not touch it without a LOT more info and pics
Of course IMHO

Well I took a nice Sunday drive over to see this car this morning. It has definitely been driven. Overall the body was in nice shape with some exceptions like a small one inch fiberglass flex crack in the back bumper, faded emblems, missing wheel cap, slight delamination in the windshield. The paint looked very nice though. The interior was not terrible. The shifter was a little worn, the side bolster on the driver seat was sitting in the passenger seat removed maybe from someone using it to get out of the car. The leather was not worn out bad at all. Carpet looked good. It had aftermarket exhaust I think it was a Corsa one. It seems to be lowered a bit too. Overall not too much cosmetically to fix at least pricewise. I may go back up there to test drive it and see how she runs. I think if they bring the price in the $14ks it may be a good deal. It is a nice low production number so a little project may not be bad. Here is another one I am going to take a look at and if anyone has any info on this one it would be appreciated. This one is in great shape and looks good to go as is and very stock which I am looking for. The search continues...

just from the pictures alone the one at Corvette Mike's looks much nicer. Probably well worth the extra coin to purchase. you should definitely check this one out.
