Re: Why isn’t the Chevy Corvette ZR-1 worth more?
If I'm selling, prices are low.
If I'm buying, I can't find a deal. I've been looking for the right '95 for 2(+) years. Prices are cheap as ever for average cars. I've gotten wiser at condition grading--more & more have paintwork. Ted Last edited by Demps; 11-24-2016 at 03:50 PM. |

Re: Why isn’t the Chevy Corvette ZR-1 worth more?
When I purchased mine, I would sit in the garage and just stare at the engine...Knowing I worked hard to play hard. I always wanted a ZR-1 since high school, and I will NEVER sell my Beast. These cars are so unique and special, so much so I think they are underrated. It's all natural, no forced induction like every car now. And the LT5 engine was designed in 1986!! Just amazing........
When the new ZR-1 drops, I think our LT5s will get a bump. One thing I wish everyone could experience is when our cars hit the 3000 rpm magic mark. That force throwing one into the seat, better have her wheel straight because OH LORD!!! That will never get old, nor will my Beast. I don't care if they drop and keep dropping, because I know what I have and honored to have it . |

Re: Why isn’t the Chevy Corvette ZR-1 worth more?
Yeah, I'm not concerned with whether I can keep up with a 25 year newer super car. It'll still outrun 90% of the cars on the road and you typically don't see another one at any car shows. When you open that clamshell and hear, "Oh, look! It's a ZR-1!", it's all worth it. It's time will come. The Grand Nationals are starting to get crazy and that was just a Buick Regal with a special engine and handling package. Sound familiar? The difference between the Z and the standard Corvette is 10 times the difference between the GN and the Regal. It's time will come. I've been to Mecum and Leake auction last weekend and C3's are starting to get pricey. BB 4 speed '68 to '72's are getting up there and bringing the LT1's with them. The last year '82's are coming around as well. Next will be the C4's and "the one to get" will be the ZR-1.
It's time will come. Until then, grab a beer, pop open that clamshell and enjoy that scorpion shaped pearl...

Re: Why isn’t the Chevy Corvette ZR-1 worth more?
Geez - what to complain about? My 91 has cost me less than $1K a year depreciation - one of the best deals out there. Still smiling and waving.
(Anybody wanna buy a low mileage Turq?)
