Very special ZR-1. This is "Street Skinner #1" from Jim Van Dorn's Auto Masters. It's also the beautiful Quasar Blue (1 of 71 for 1991). Mechanically flawless. Meticulously maintained. Extremely clean. All documentation since 1994. VERY highly documented car. It was also featured in multiple Corvette magazines in the late 90's. Originally delivered/sold by Malcolm Konner Chevrolet in Paramus, NJ.
No accidents, all original paint, clean Carfax. 80k miles on the car. The engine conversion was done at 45k miles.
The Street Skinner package was rated at 460hp (without headers). The car now has headers and is probably around 500hp. Doug Rippie Motorsports ported heads and intake. Stock cams (stock drivability). The mods are in line with what you would get in the Haibeck 500 package.
I have
extensive documentation with the car. Nearly everything since 1994. There is a photo album that the original owner (Tom Sullivan) put together with a ton of pictures from Auto Masters during the build including pictures of Scott Skinner from Mercury Marine assembling the engine himself. I also have a copy of all the Corvette magazines that featured the car. Pizza box, window sticker, build sheet, dealer brochure, etc... Many parts on the car have been replaced on the car over the years as needed. This is not a ZR-1 that requires $3-5k worth of maintenance. No electrical issues. I've pressed every button. Everything works. Heat is hot, A/C blows cole.
The car is
extremely clean. And I'm picky. The condition is along the lines of most of the 20-30k mile, well-cared for ZR-1's I've personally seen at Carlisle. The paint is the worst part of the car, but it's probably a 8.5 out of 10. Again, I'm REAL picky. Most people would say the paint is "near perfect". For a 1991, it's impressively nice and looks beautiful. There are some small imperfection and defects in a few areas as to be expected with the original paint; however, nothing significant. The windshield has minimal delamination. The delamination is concentrated to the outside 1.5" edge. The interior is gorgeous. No funky smell (non-smoker since day 1, no musty/mildew, no black ice air freshener, etc..). The driver's seat shows nearly zero wear, including the bolster.
The underside of the car looks like
new. It's not even dirty. Lifelong California, Arizona, and North Carolina car. Just gorgeous.

The only issues that the car currently has is that the tach reads high (very common issue) and the weatherstripping around the door has cracking (still seals).
I'm asking $29,000 (4/30 update: lowered to $23,500). I will also entertain partial trades for cars plus cash. The only cars that I'd be interested in are stock ZR-1's, base C4 (stock or modified), or 4th generation Camaro/Firebirds.
I am located in Rochester, NY.
