1995 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

This is a real-deal, numbers-matching, final-year C4 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1. Best of all, this 405 hp rare black beauty can be yours for the shockingly low price of under $20K. This is a very clean 2-owner vehicle with a clear Autocheck (no accidents) and only 81K original miles.

The C4 ZR-1 changed the Corvette landscape in a big way. It proved that there was a market for a take-no-prisoners Corvette, even at nearly double the price for a base coupe. With performance that was truly world class, the sophisticated yet bulletproof ZR-1 became an instant icon, and the rare final 1995 model year examples like this one are true cherished machines. The black paint still shines like a midnight mirror thanks to the exceptional condition of the fiberglass and careful ownership. You can see more evidence of its treasured life in the well-maintained chin spoiler, convex rear bumper, and the clean five-spoke factory wheels.

The black leather interior features everything Chevy could build into a car, and given its price tag, just about everything was standard. The deeply sculpted leather seats are in excellent condition, and show very little driver wear. The instruments are a useful combination of digital and analog and they're still bright and crisp. While you are most interested in the leather-wrapped steering wheel and the six-speed gearshift that perfectly falls to your right hand, there are plenty more features in this ZR-1. This includes power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, power seats, and an AM/FM/CD/cassette Bose stereo. There's a great glass targa top to let you decide when you want the elements to blow through the cabin, and the automatic climate control means you can do this any time of the year. Because this is a modern classic that's barely two decades old, there are also great modern safety features like the dual airbags and anti-lock brakes.

That wondrous LT5 engine is still as amazing today as it was when it debuted. After all, who doesn't love a 5.7-liter 32-valve V8 rated at 405 hp. It's intimidating with those long intake runners up top and the cam covers on each side, but the good news is that they're virtually indestructible and run for hundreds of thousands of miles without complaint. So this one feels barely broken in averaging less than 4,000 miles annually so far. The adjustable suspension rides well enough to make this a fantastic grand tourer on the days when you don't want it to handle like a racetrack king. Plus, the powerful four-wheel disc brakes don't seem to mind the car's 180 MPH capabilities. And the wide Nitto Extreme ZR tires are a great investment in properly capping off this handling package.

They only made 448 Corvette ZR-1s in 1995 (only 6939 C4 ZR-1s in total), and so you know this is a future collectable. It's amazing that you can pick this up for less than the price of a family sedan. Still, just because you'll cherish it just like the previous owners have doesn't mean we don't expect this to be your weekend getaway machine. Call today!!!
