Scott, I don't think you're going to find any new ZR1's. There are a few in our C7 Corvettes For Sale section here on CorvetteForum. I also saw quite a few in AutoTrader.com too. If it doesn't have to be new, you're going to have your choice of a few, for sure.

Unless you want a stick. Then your options are slim and none.

Corvette registry indicates a few unsold at dealers but would require legwork to determine if they're available, my guess...unlikely.

I went to the Chevy site an selected ZR1 and inventory. It searches the entire nation and it shows 5 left but likely are all A8's.

EDIT: Just checked and 3 of the 5 are 7 Speeds. Provided you can believe the report but worth calling anyway.

You can try Viva to see if they still have the owner's orange car under cover in the garage. I tried a few times to inquire about that car and got nowhere. If they still have it, there is probably some price you could throw at them that they would entertain.

SD27, if I remember correctly you first posted about looking for a new ZR1 a month or two ago? I think you are a tad late to the party.

I started looking for one last May and I felt I was late in trying to get one. No dealer near me had any or could order one when I inquired. I am in Canada and most dealers here told me they had 1 allocation or 2 at the most and were spoken for months before I started looking. I understand the market in the US is different than in Canada (a lot more cars available stateside).

I had almost given up till someone here mentioned an inbound vehicle around July 2019 to a dealer in Winnipeg so after checking into the specs of that car (it had everything I would order for my spec except the outside colour) I was good with it and jumped on the car with a deposit. My car was a late production (5th last car built for Canada).

Somebody months ago had done a post saying that all available new ZR1's were sold so that's basically it. I don't think you will find a new one now this late in. There was the member that had a "new" one sitting in his stable still all wrapped up and everything did you inquire about that one? He did mention he would sell if the price is right or whatever that's probably about as new as you are going to be able to get now.

I can chime in that I found one on ebay from a Chicago dealer with 1300 miles. Lived its previous life in Texas. Spec'd the way I wanted, and yes it is a low wing, 3 ZR auto. My Corvette M7s resulted in a new knee this past winter, so auto is the way to go for me now.

The car is like new and I was lucky to come across it. I was pretty sure new was no longer an option.

Thanks cman. I did reach out. I love that black ZR1 you bought out of Chicago. I love it with the chrome wheels.
Thanks.

That's not me. I have an AW one not black. The one that I have would've hit everything on my list if it was gray but white worked too as I was looking for a colour change. The 2 cars I sold to get the ZR1 were both gray.
