Send me an email at: raymundoreengleby@ukfun.com .1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - this was the hottest American automobile made this year. In 1990 the Corvette ZR1
set several world records for durability, time and speed at a track in Texas. The ZR1 package was a $27, 016 option
in 1990 with a total list price of over $60, 000.
This car was originally purchased by a doctor at Jon Allen Chevrolet in Daytona Beach, Florida. The car was stored
in one of the doctors garages for 24 years along with many other collectables. Once I purchased it I took it to
Carr's Corvettes in Plano, Texas. They went through the entire car and found nothing wrong with it. They replaced
the tires and shocks. They were both a safety concern after sitting all that time. The original Goodyear tires are
wrapped in plastic and the original shocks are in a box in my garage and is part of this deal if wanted. Having the
original tires is unique if you ever want to show the car. Carr's Corvettes changed all the oils and flushed all
the other fluids like the radiator and brakes. The engine was designed by Lotus and built by Mercury Marine for GM, they produced it for 6 years. From what I have
read this motor was the basis for the Cadillac NorthStar which was built for years and quite reliable. In 1990 the
LT-5 had 375 HP and 370 ft lbs of torque. It has a valet key which if turned off reduces the HP and helps to stop
others from driving it hard while your enjoying dinner. The top speed on this car is rated at 180 MPH.
Automobile-catalog.com has several pages of statistics and specifications related to this car.
This car is all original and the only 2 things that I have taken off the car (tires and shocks), I have if you want
them. The car runs and drives like a 25 year old brand new car. It drives great around the city and on the freeway.
As I mentioned in the condition section above, the only issue with the car that I know of is one of the seat belts
sticks sometimes when you pull it out.
If you have ever wanted a C4 ZR1 this is one you don't want to pass on. It's a beautiful car and the only thing it
needs is a good new owner. The car has never seen rain since I owned it and the doctor told me the same thing for
the 24 years he owned it. Once you see the under carriage of the car you will understand. If you need to ship the
car, once you find the shipper you are comfortable with, I will help them to get it loaded.
The last thing I have is to answer the question of why am I selling it. The truth is I have several cars. I ordered
a 2016 Z06 and in order to keep peace in the household I have to give up 2 cars to get one new Z06. It was hard but
I think it will be worth it.
The car is being sold in as is condition. I will answer any questions you have the best that I can. Thanks and good
luck.
