Description

This is an extremely rare opportunity to own one of the very first zr-1 available to the public. This was personally driven by The Chief Engineer, nd a host of others at GM. Has extensive collection of related material including log book of every exec at GM who would have driven the car to make sure it was ready to be shipped out and that engineering was all correct. This piece really belongs in a museum due to its rarity, refuse to drive the Car at this point. Has been cared for by an elderly gentleman who is original owner. Pizza box, HS, ven comes with the original corvette sweater and hat! I could take a pic of all the documents that come with this but it would be well over 500 pages. This is the same car that was featured in the Road and Track publication where the ZR-1 was featured in 1990. The only thing not original on the car is the Battery. Original Tires, o engine modifications, othing. MObile1 synthetic all its life. Personally driven by Dave Mclellan who was chief engineer of corvette development to ensure car met all the specs. This is a very rare find for a zr1. VIN 1g1yz23j4l5800051

Vehicle info

Every red-blooded gearhead knows about the vaunted C4 ZR-1, nd the details of its creation have become the stuff of legend. Although Chevy's Lotus-infused flagship basically doubled the price of a standard Corvette, t delivered world class driving dynamics for a fraction of what comparative, nd decidedly overrated, erraris and Lamborghinis cost. It showed the Detroit automakers that a market for ultimate performance cars definitely existed and, ore importantly, t showed the world that America was definitely capable of competing with Europe's best performance brands. Today, e fondly reference cars like this pristine '94 ZR-1 as the platform that broke the ice for killer American superstars like Chevrolet's own C6 ZR1 and SRT's Viper GTS. And, s expected, his fanatically kept, ll-original survivor is as crisp as the day it rolled off Bowling Green's storied assembly line.

With today's basic history lesson out of the way, 'll jump right in to describing every aspect of this 17,500 mile time capsule. That body's composite panels display precise fit and excellent finish under ancillary hardware that functions well and seals great. And by the looks of this Corvette's slick finish, 'm fairly certain it has never seen daily driver duty. In fact, t's very unlikely the car's glossy, et-look hue has ever felt anything more aggressive than a soft detailing cloth. And when that level of ownership is combined with Chevrolet's top notch build quality, t creates one seriously capable sports car that'll show well and absolutely blister the road!

The aluminum LT5 V8 found under the hood of this virtually new Corvette is a modern work of automotive art. Originally intended to be a simple set of 16-valve cylinder heads atop a basic Chevrolet small block, he Lotus engineers assigned to the project quickly realized there was no cost-effective way to build such a motley beast. Instead, hey designed a world class V8 which shared basic dimensions with Chevrolet's storied small block, ut exactly zero interchangeable components. The result is a 32-valve, -cam powerhouse that features a trick dual-path induction system, 05 horsepower and 385 lb./ft. of torque, ll without any help from fuel supplements or any kind of forced induction. The aesthetically pleasing piece was assembled by Mercury Marine, hose specialization in aluminum casting won them the contract. And when fitted under the Corvette's clamshell hood, t became an ultra-performance world record holder. There's no mistaking the big engine's unique intake and sculpted cam covers, hich are emblazoned with the Corvette logo, or something any less than fantastic. And, ore beautifully finished than any engine since the 1930s, he LT5 in this ZR-1 is preserved in 100% showroom-fresh condition. Don't worry; the lightweight mill has definitely been operated enough to stay healthy, ith its fluids being changed regularly. And nothing, rom the bottom of its spotless hood to the top of its clean oil pan, hows any significant signs of wear and tear.

Behind that hot small block, proven ZF 6-speed distributes power to a factory Corvette rear end. That combination works great in conjunction with the motor's ability to shut down half its intake runners, aking this Vette plenty quick off the line and a joy to cruise on the highway. All ZR-1s have a Lotus-tuned FX3 double A-arm front and independent rear suspension, hich features electronic traction control and driver-adjustable active ride control. 4-wheel, otus-tuned power disc brakes combine with Lotus-tuned power steering to keep all that power productive and pointed straight. Factory dual exhaust runs from original equipment manifolds into two rear-mounted mufflers that hang just before GM's familiar square exhaust tips. And torque meets the pavement through a set of killer 17-inch alloys that spin super wide 275/40 Goodyear Eagle GS-C radials in front of even wider 315/35 Goodyear Eagle GS-C radials. The bottom of this Corvette is every bit as nice as its spectacular engine compartment and glossy exterior panels, howing minimal wear and almost no signs of weathering. The car's bright suspension bits contrast nicely to a clean floorpan. And its straight and solid chassis barely looks like its seen ANY time on the street.

Good preservation is key to any vintage car's interior, nd this C4's clean cockpit looks factory fresh in virtually every way. The plush driving environment kicks off with a pair of 6-way, ower adjustable buckets that are stitched in Light Grey leather. In front of those buckets, leather-wrapped and cross-flag branded steering wheel laps a conservative dash that's fitted with both clear analog and bright digital gauges. Inside that dash, he car's modern center stack anchors electronic climate control above a premium Delco Bose sound system, simple black shifter and buttons for the adjustable suspension. Opposite that center stack, wo-tone side panels hang switches for both power windows and power door locks above sculpted armrests. At the back of those side panels, surprisingly spacious cargo hold features enough room for short, eekend road trips. And naturally, ll the amenities and conveniences you've come to expect in a modern ride are present and accounted for.

The sale of this reference grade ZR-1 includes an original build sheet, laminated copy of that build sheet, he original window sticker outlined above, n original owner's manual and an original owner's VHS tape.
