ZR1 To Purchase Perhaps
 

Hey guys . I would like a bit of input from the forum . This is the car my friend Des and I are looking at to purchase . I am in Toronto and it is in Montreal so I have not seen the car yet .
The add says 1991 but it has the ZR1 logo on the side hood fenders . I think it is a 1992 . I have not done the car fax yet or car proof but will soon .
Here is the link . Just seeing what you guys think of this car .
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike
I think the asking price is a little high. From the pics it looks good.

Looks good from the pics, Mike. The sawblades would suggest it is either a 91 or 92. There are plenty of 90's and 91's out there with the ZR-1 emblems added to the fenders after sale. Serial # is the best way to confirm as you likely know. Good luck.

Re: ZR1 To Purchase Perhaps
 

I believe it is a 91 as 92 would have ASR, also note the radio has been changed. A lot of owners have added the ZR-1 side emblems.

Thanks for the responses . So can the emblem be removed or would they be glued on somehow or bolted on . Your right . The vin will tell the truth indeed .

Agree . Were gonna start at 22 . Thats cannuck dollars also ...

Also the interior dash trim on the 91's are gray where the 92's have black trim.

Because of the picture angle, hard to tell on the radio bezel color but seems gray.
The headlight trim looks gray too.
Looks like a 91.

Also can get the VIN number

Oh and believe it or not some people actually drill holes and glue to install the side ZR-1 .... you'd have to look at it to see it's was a stick on version

+1....yep, 91.

Also are the exhaust tips stock ? I really like them . I have seen a lot of ZR1's with dual or quad pipes and sometimes there all twisted and not level meaning the exhaust has been changed or something . These look nice and level to me .
The back of the car is much higher sitting than the front . Is this perhaps because the gas tank is not filled ? I always thought that a Z sat kinda flat .
Thanks for all the info .

Re: ZR1 To Purchase Perhaps
 

Those tips are definitely NOT stock, kinda funky looking. Quad pipes are stock but normally only the outside pair are actually operational. FWIW the stock pipes are the worst looking of the lot, almost never level and they look terrible. Once of the things I will be addressing on my car soon.
