Picked up a 2nd Manual ZR1 Convertible..

I was lucky enough to pick up a red ZR1 Manual convertible a few months ago with 800 miles on it. The only problem is, I didn't want to pile on a bunch of miles on it. Back in November, I came across a 78 year old gentleman that said he was interested in selling his. I picked this one up about a month ago. 2019 Sebring Orange, 3ZR, ZTK, Manual, Comp Seats, Jake Logos and Sebring Orange design pkg, 6500 miles. I already did full tint, lowered it and installed the low wing. It will get full PPF, wheels are on the way, Heads/Cam headers, cats, pulleys ect. This one will be the one to put some miles on. I feel extremely lucky to have come across it!

Brilliant. I would love to do the same thing. One to collect and one to take to the track. I have a friend that has modified his zr1 to about 1000hp. He asked if I wanted to take it for a ride and unfortunately I did because now mine feels slow.
you have an amazing collection. Great place to hang out for Sunday morning coffee or a Saturday night beer. Congratulations and enjoy

I like them but love the look of the Convertible, reminds me of the old FRC.. I wish Chevy would have made a ZR1 with a FRC look..

You are a mad man! Congratulations, both are beautiful and I admire your style. I’m in San Antonio. May need a ZR1 road trip to give mine an Italian tune up and come see yours!

Congrats. Keeping the ZTK wing for resale value later or would you be interested in selling it?
