About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good paint. The front bumper has a few scratches. The engine compartment appears original and faded. The underbody has some surface rust starting. The driver''s seat has minimal wear on an otherwise clean interior. An old nut and bolt restoration of a 16,303 mile original engine car that still shows well. One of just 14 of these ZR1 coupes, making it one of the rarer Corvettes out there.

Market commentary

Hammered not sold at Mecum''s Spring Classic in 2010 at a high bid of $200,000, then hammered not sold at Mecum Houston in 2014 for $107,000. These early ZR1s are serious competition cars with everything needed to go from showroom floor to race track starting grid and nothing extraneous. This example is appropriately documented and was impressively restored but now has aged from sitting around on display and would be better served by being driven. After its dormancy it will need careful attention before its performance is experienced but the reward in endorphins will be worth the effort, even at this extraordinary price.
