About this 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

VIN: 1G1YZ23J4M5801279

1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 – 10k Miles, Collector-Grade Condition, Two Owners, Priced at only $39,500

This 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, finished in GM Black (Paint Code WA8555), appears to have emerged from a 33-year time capsule, presenting in an astonishingly well-preserved condition. With only 10,240 miles, this ZR1 showcases the craftsmanship of its era, powered by a 5.7-liter LT5 V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Delivered with the coveted ZR1 Special Performance Package, this example stands as a testament to meticulous care from its two owners. The only modification is a Flowmaster II cat-back exhaust, but the original GM exhaust and original tires have been preserved and are included with the sale. Now offered on consignment at the Car Club of Rochester, this ZR1 comes with a clean New York title and extensive documentation, making it a stunning opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Factory Equipment
ZR1 Special Performance Package ($31,683 option)
5.7L LT5 DOHC 32-valve V8, 375 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque
Six-speed manual transmission
Bilstein adjustable suspension
Distinct ZR1 bodywork with flared rear fenders
Six-way power driver and passenger seats
Removable glass roof panel
Bosch ABS braking system
Power features, including windows, locks, and mirrors
Factory alloy wheels, which retain a reflective, near-perfect finish
Condition
This Corvette ZR1 is a near-pristine example, with the exterior GM Black paint appearing as flawless as it did the day it left the factory. Two minor paint imperfections are visible on the hood, but overall, the finish gleams as if the car has been sealed in time for over three decades. The factory alloy wheels are nothing short of impressive, boasting a reflective finish that remains virtually untouched, showing no significant signs of wear, with only minor traces where the original wheel weights were once clamped.

The interior is equally stunning. The black leather seats look as if they were stitched yesterday, with the headrest stitching still fresh and tight. The leather surfaces are immaculate, free from wear or fading, and even the driver's floor mat shows only minor wear consistent with careful clutch use. What truly sets this car apart is the interior hardware, which remains untouched—every screw and fastener head looks as if a tool has never touched it, preserving the car’s originality in a way that is rarely seen.

Maintenance and Modifications
Mechanically, the car has been meticulously maintained, with basic annual services carried out regularly. Despite the passage of time, no major repairs have been required. In the early 2000s, a Flowmaster II cat-back exhaust was installed, delivering a more aggressive sound while maintaining the car’s driveability. Impressively, the original GM exhaust is included in the sale, providing the option to restore the car to its factory state. The tires and brakes remain in fantastic condition, showing minimal wear and requiring no immediate replacement.

ZR1 Collectors Box and Documentation
This ZR1 comes with the original ZR1 Collectors Box, which adds to its allure as a collectible. Included in the box:

A commemorative leather-bound owner’s manual
An embossed leather portfolio bearing the ZR1 insignia
A VHS tape detailing the ZR1's development and features (missing)
Original key fobs and documentation (missing)
A personalized plaque for the original owner (missing)
The sale also includes the original window sticker, near complete service records from new, and all original tools, making this ZR1 an outstanding opportunity for any Corvette enthusiast.

Additional Details
10,240 miles
Two owners, clean title, no accidents
Flowmaster II cat-back exhaust with the original GM exhaust included
Original tires included
Complete documentation, including the ZR1 Collectors Box
This Corvette ZR1 is nothing short of remarkable—a time-capsule example that has been preserved and maintained with an exceptional level of care. Its condition, from the gleaming exterior to the impeccable interior details, makes it a must-see for collectors looking for an iconic early ‘90s performance car that stands the test of time.
