Default Detailed the 40th Anny Zr1, time to cruise

My 93 40th anniversary ZR1 just turned 16k miles. The provious owner never drove it, only to shows. I have put almost 2k miles on it this year since I bought it and it looks and drives as new and it flawless. Outside of fluids and belts when I bought it I replaced the rear FX3 shocks with new ones so even that works as new



It is just a nice time capsule of I car and my son and I love driving it. I asked him today if he wanted to take the Zr1 or the McLaren to his basketball touney and he said the ZR1. That’s how you knw you raised a car guy lol



These cars truly are special. Everytime I think about selling it, I wash it and drive it and that idea goes out the door 😊

Those seats are GORGEOUS! it is hard to put a finger on it............there are faster cars, there are more comfortable cars, etc.........but something about these ZR-1s just makes it a pleasure to pilot.......my son is in his late 20s, and I can't keep him out of it......

That's a beautiful Ruby Z I wanted a Ruby when I was looking 7 years ago, but the cheapest one I could find was like 30k or something....And in 2015-2016 that was WAY too rich for my blood. I should of taken a 2nd mortgage and done it, cause now forget about it..... I settled on my '91Z and love it but still crave a Ruby

I paid $39k for it a little over a year ago. Who knows what the market really is these days and perhaps i overpaid a tad but it is MINT and came with EVERTHING from the factory down to the window sticker and a cassette of music that came with it new

I have a handful of true exotic and luxury cars but this one is just plain fun when you want an old school immersive experience for sure

Thanks everyone for the love

Sounds like a good price to me! What was the number of ruby ZR-1s? 244 I think total? You didn’t overpay if you got exactly what you wanted. If a literal pile of rotting fiberglass pieces on a pallet that used to be a C2 can sell for thousands, a lowly ZR-1 in excellent condition can fetch that amount.
