D.C.,

Glad to see you're going to try and go for a ZR-1. As far as miles, obviously, the lower the miles, the better the condition the car will be in.

Since the LT5 engine is for the most part, pretty bulletproof, ZR-1s with moderate mileage are still a good deal. There are some amazing performance bargains out there.

The more pristine, unmodified ZR-1s with low mileage, still usually command a pretty penny. It all depends upon what you want and what you're willing to pay.

D.C., you made the right choice by going with a ZR-1

There are some very good deals out there right now. It's pretty much a buyers market for the ZR-1's right now. Here's a couple of deals that sounded pretty good to me. I pulled these of the ZR-1 net.

1990 Red/Black 29,500 Mark Devlin(TX) 806-863-2357 mtbsdevlin@cox.net $21,900
DESCRIPTION/OPTIONS=THIS IS IT - I PROMISED MY WIFE!! However, if I do not sell at this price I will store for my 5 year old daughter.
All Stock, Second Owner, S.Cal/AZ car. Owners kit with build sheet and original window sticker. Excellent condition. Both tops. Never seen snow. Garage kept and always covered when parked. Everything is operational, ie. Select-a-ride, Valet Switch, 6-Way seats, Bose Gold CD System. All preventive maintenance is done. Weather stripping new and perfect, no wind noise or inside "squeaks". This car is pristine.

1991 Black/Black 6,100 Yong Song(NY) 718-353-3988 SONG8732@YAHOO.COM $28,050
DESCRIPTION/OPTIONS=Last chance, Like new, glass top only. Second owner.

Take your time looking around. The deals are always out there.

I just sold my 90 ZR1 with 125,000 miles on it for $16,000.00. It had a very nice interior and exterior,polished rims and near new Pilot Sports.

Justin_cv87 · 12-17-02, 08:10 PM

you sold your 90 vette and kept the 81? wow, many people sell the older car and buy newer, but i think its great that u kept the 81, because 81 is one of the greatest model years IMHO.

According to his sig, he also has a 02 Vert Mag Red 6 Spd

Surfer44 · 12-17-02, 10:32 PM

I'm the original owner of my 81 . I'll never sell that one. It's the Claret and Dark Claret, 4 Spd with red interior. I'm trying to sell my 37 Dodge so I can buy a new 03 Z06 or another 6Spd Vert. By selling my ZR1 I'm closer to my goal. If I can sell my Dodge for 10K then I'll immediately decide on which car I'll be buying. I'll have 26K for my down payment. Rick Daniels can you hear me????

I have a nice DRM 90 450 ZR1. 77K miles, 22K firm.

reason for selling, I bought a 93 LPE 368 ZR1.

don't let the miles scare you, this car is nice.

want to sell it before winter gets really bad, I only have a one car garage and I'd rather see this vette sleeping inside again.

it's my daily driver. see www.lt5registry.net for details or contact me at

ron_kreigh@hotmail.com if interested. a write up on the car is coming soon in the KOTH Magazine, it's also avertised there now.

I just bough my wife a nice 94 LT1 auto (cheap) also with 72K miles, but the car looks great!!! the zr1s are available at bargain prices right now, if I may ask, are you going to buy back the wrecked zr1??? the parts are worth a fortune!!!

thanks!!!
