This vehicle is located in Massachusetts. We have it listed on consignment for a good friend/collector.

One of just 104 made in Polo Green Metallic, this 3 owner 1990 ZR-1 is in excellent condition and has been well maintained.

The Corvette ZR-1 is a rear-drive sports car powered by a 32-valve, 5.7-liter, port-fuel-injected V-8 engine with an aluminum block and aluminum heads. The engine was designed by GM's Group Lotus Division and built under contract by Mercury Marine in Oklahoma, a facility known for high-muscle aluminum engines.

The LT5 32-valve V-8 engine has two camshafts on each of its aluminum heads. Maximum horsepower achieved at 6200 rpm is 380. The torque curve shows a maximum of 370 pound-feet at 4200 rpm.

Staggered width 17″ aluminum wheels are wrapped in 275/40 front and 315/35 rear Nitto NT555 Extreme ZR tires. All ZR-1 models were equipped with the FX3 Selective Ride suspension package which featured electronically-adjustable Bilstein shock absorbers. Braking is handled by anti-lock disc brakes at all four corners.

Amenities include power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as automatic climate control, cruise control, and an aftermarket Kenwood head unit with SiriusXM and Bluetooth connectivity. The removed Delco Bose Gold Series stereo with CD and cassette players is included in the sale.

From Car and Driver: "The engine's performance is best described as otherworldly. Its power just plain warps the mind. The ZR-1 has the ability to take you from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and from a stop to 100 in 10.4 seconds. We also recorded a 0-to-150-mph time of a tick under half a minute. Top speed, for the adventurous, is a sizzling 175 miles per hour... behind the engine is a six-speed manual transmission that's as sweet as anything mechanical you're likely to lay a hand on... Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen AG, usually referred to simply as ZF, designed the six-speed transmission especially for the Corvette. The fully synchronized unit derives much of its slick operation from an internal-rail shift mechanism and a hydraulically actuated, 280mm-diameter pull-type clutch."

Maintenance and repairs under recent ownership include replacement of the fuel injectors, secondary vacuum pump, alternator, serpentine belt, battery, clutch master and slave cylinders, airbag control module and all fluids. Additionally the pop-up headlights were rebuilt and outer door seals were replaced. Receipts come with the car. Minor paint blemishes are visible on the right front fender, front bumper, and fuel door.

This ZR-1 runs and drives strong, and given the low miles would make a great addition to any collection.
