1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
The Original “King of the Hill”
To usher in the 1990’s, Chevrolet started working on a special edition Corvette, rumours of what would actually make it to the public were rampant, and what finally arrived on showroom floors for the 1990 model year did not disappoint! With help from Lotus, Chevrolet developed a 5.7 litre, 32v Twin Cam V8, manufactured by, of all people, Mercury Marine, by the final year of production, 1995, it was producing a manufacturer rated 405hp. The performance did not end there with further updates to the suspension and braking system of the C4 Corvette. This performance earned it the common title of “King of the Hill”. The ZR1 option package was a $31,258 option on top the base Corvette MSRP, even with that in mind, it was deemed an incredible performance value for the dollar!!
As is documented on the original build sheet, this factory Torch Red 1995 Corvette ZR1 is a fantastic example of the once pinnacle of Corvette Performance. Shipped to its original selling dealer, Dan Young Chevrolet in
Indianapolis
, it has been well maintained and collector owned since new, showing only 19,840 original miles. The interior is near flawless red leather, the seats showing little to no wear, the paint showing beautifully, the incredible LT5 engine starts and runs smoothly while producing a noise that makes no effort to hide its purpose. Recently acquired as part of a large collection of late model Corvettes, this ZR1 is a great example of what General Motors was capable of at the time. With 1995 being the final year of production for this model ZR1, and a mere 448 examples being produced, it truly is an exceptional car. With the introduction of the latest model, the ZR1 name will always go down in history as a legend in the Corvette world. The scarcity of these cars, coupled with the incredible condition and low mileage make this an excellent car for the collector or Corvette enthusiast
