Project 1990 ZR1 on that site we dare not mention...
Guys:
Just spotted a project 1990 ZR1 on that site for $9500. They say a snow heavy roof collapsed on it.
Has 101k miles.
Can you say, RACE CAR?

Hm. Awful lot of damage to the REAR END and HOOD for a snow collapsed roof! This car was clearly rolled. Not a very good liar.

I put in a decent offer, lets see if he takes it. One things for sure, it aint worth $9500.00 though, not many good body panels & the interior is ragged to hell.

It was definitely a repaint based on the rear seam...also the badges on the side of the hood don't belong...No rear glass, no windshield, 101K miles, trashed interior, hopefully the frame isn't tweaked, possibly a good trans (unlikely) and possibly an OK 3rd member...this VIN # (338) needs to be added to the "attrited" list. Definitely a parts car. Too bad too...a Black with Red Guts is pretty
A parts car for sure.

First off crap repaint poor blakc car repainted red sad day in melmack
That motor looks pretty well taken car of. Cant say that for the interior, The rear bumper is damaged the rear quarters are damaged no back glass winshield is gone windshield frame is bent, hood smashed.
looks like it could have been damaged by snow it doesnt have the usually rollover damage on the hailo and the quarters the hood is slightly damaged while the windshield frame is bent badly, I dont know tough call but Ive parted out a couple of roll overs and they were in BAD shape
Theres alot of decent parts here the motor trany rear end but then the rest is just bent used up C4 parts, Some will bring some cash but hell you dont even know if they are good car does have over 100K on it parts wear out
The specific ZR1 body parts are all banged up, the doors are not that big on the resale and im sure the rims need attention.
the wheel wells some brackets the dash harness, front headlight harness plenty of ZR1 specific parts but whats a LT5 bringing these days?
Its been branded a salvage part it out
Part it out and be done with it

Parts!!! That car is a builder!!! You could put that car back together easy.
Could this be the car that was on there before in wyoming and somebody put the motor back in? i never saw picks of that car but it was rolled over in colorado. When that car was up before i would say the windsheild post was pulled back up. Anymore speculation?

That one in Wyo was FUBAR, much worse than this one. The seats out of it were on that as yet unnamed internet auction site about two weeks ago and they were absolute pieces of garbage. This ones' interior is bad, but it wasn't as bad as the other one.

I would sell my black with red interior 37,000 mile 90 ZR-1 that I have owned for almost 16 years for $10,000 in it's current condition. It needs much less work than the one pictured. It needs the fuel injectors replaced, one of the primaries is down to 6.5 ohms and the 7 others read 10.5 to 10.8 which causes a very noticeable miss at idle. I didn't bother checking the secondary injectors since all of the primaries read low. The secondary vacuum system needs a leak fixed at the same time the injectors are replaced since the secondary pump runs about 2 seconds every 2 seconds with the key on and the engine off. It still runs good above idle and at full throttle.
The are a few other items that need replaced. The back hatch seal has the splits at the lower front corners, both lumbar pumps need replaced/rebuilt, and the right rear ltwps sensor was removed when the tires were replaced at about 30,000 miles because the retaining band broke. I have the ltwps sensor and one rebuilt pump sitting in my toolbox. The interior is in good condition with just a few scrape marks on the drivers side left seat bolster. Everything else on the car works including the whole bose radio system. Most of the common ZR-1 problems have occured and been fixed like the oil pressure sensor and oil cooler hose leaks.
There is a 2 to 3 inch scratch on the drivers door that goes down to the primer, a star crack in the center of the hood, swirl marks in the paint that show up in bright sun, and some small rock chips.
Other than the things mentioned it needs a good cleaning/detailing since I have been driving it occasionally the last few years and haven't had the time to keep everything cleaned up.
