Possible ZR-1 Purchase
 

Hello All

I'm a long time ZR-1 lover contemplating my first purchase. I'm originally from England where such toys are hideously expensive (I was once quoted $7000 for insuring a base model C4!) but having moved to Canada there finally is the possibility of achieving my dream.

I'm not a millionaire, nor likely to be one any time soon, and when I saw the Black/Grey ZR-1 listed by Ken Bellock it looked like a good buy. The things he lists the car as needing dont sound especially onerous.

I'd appreciate any feedback on what people think of this as a purchase. Is anyone in that area? Do they know the car at all?

Thanks very much in advance

Dave

i think we could use a bit more information on the car before we can really help you

Sorry. It's listed in the for sale section at Zr1.net

1990 Black/Grey 64,200 $15,500

DESCRIPTION/OPTIONS= This car has been on the cover of "King of the Hill" magazine! Ported intake, hurst short shifter, chip, corsa exhaust, brand new clutch/flywheel/transmission. A true Beast at just under 400hp to the rear wheels!! Includes dyno sheets, 91 service manuals, original owners manual and VHS tape, car cover, and glass top! It has never been smoked in, and only shows wear on the drivers side, left side cushion. Why is it so cheap? The car does not come with a stereo, it needs a new engine oil temperature sensor, and will need new rubber soon, besides that, it's in perfect shape!

Seems like a lot of car for the money to me, assuming it's in good shape. It might be nicer to have 1990 service manuals, but not a big deal... :)

The price does sound pretty good. I guess that I would have to really have it inspected and drive before purchasing. Could be other "things" wrong that may not be listed. Make sure the tranny is in good working order. No grinding between gears for example. Good luck....

Who would be the best people to go to for an inspection? Anyone got any idea of how much it would cost to get it inspected?

have an owner of a ZR-1 go and look at it.

Dave,

If you posted where you live I'm sure someone in that area would be more than willing to help out.

I'm in Sudbury, Ontario. (Canada) the car is located in Texas. Not sure precisely where just yet. Is anyone out that way?

If my g/f didn't hate her home state so much I'd say there is a pretty decent shot that I'd be there in the next month or so. But she does so I won't be. If I do end up there by some fluke I'll let you know.

I just found out that the car is in the houston area and if I do end up there over the holidays I'll be happy to look at the car
