Basic information and history

The legendary 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an icon of American sports cars and sought after by enthusiasts worldwide. With its innovative LT5 engine and groundbreaking performance, the ZR1 set a new standard in Corvette history. For those looking for an early ZR1 for their collection or intending to use the car at classic car shows, this is a unique opportunity to acquire an extremely well-maintained example.

This example is imported from the USA and has a very low mileage of only 41000 km , making it a truly rare find. The car has had five previous owners and its history is interesting: It was originally found by the current owner at Bilborgen, in the hands of Hasse and Monika, and was subsequently purchased from Åsö Bil on Södermalm.

An extra curiosity is that at a car meet it was rumored that this is number 6 of a total of 1,200 ZR1s produced from this model year—although not verified, but still a topic of conversation for the dedicated Corvette enthusiast.

Equipment and options

1. Targa roof (glass, replaceable roof section)
2. Original interior in good condition
3. Original steering wheel controls and buttons in good condition
4. Original rims and tires
5. Powerful LT5 engine developed together with Lotus
6. Air conditioning
7. Factory sports seats

This example is untouched in terms of major modifications and improvements. Previous owners have instead ensured ongoing maintenance and servicing of vital components, including replacement of fuel pumps and injectors. The car has recently been reconditioned externally and meticulously maintained before each season.

Condition

Body and exterior condition:

The paint is in very good condition considering its age (over 30 years old), and a recent reconditioning gives the car a nice shine. Some small marks around the paint (see pictures) and the Windscreen rubber is slightly worn out. The windows are intact and free of defects according to the owner. No remarks on the emblems, headlight lenses or moldings; note, however, that the car lacks chrome details from the factory.

Interior:

The car has preserved the original interior in good condition throughout, including the roof (glass and targa hatch without defects), as well as the steering wheel, controls and buttons that are fully functional and well maintained.

Tires and rims:

The car has original rims and the tires are estimated to have about 80% tread depth remaining.

Mechanics and function:

The engine is considered to be in very good condition; work has been carried out on the fuel pumps and injectors, among other things. The brakes are in good condition and no parts have recently needed replacing. The gearbox and drivetrain are free of noise, and no known problems have been reported.

Service history

The car has undergone regular maintenance with oil and filter changes before each season under the current owner. The service book is filled out according to the manufacturer's intervals and the last service was carried out in May (invoice available for the measures carried out). The car was inspected and approved last in May. Previous service and inspection records are missing, but the owner certifies that there have never been any problems during their ownership.
