6500-Mile 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 was first sold in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania and is believed to have covered 6,593 miles since new according to its seller and CARFAX vehicle history report. Power comes from an unmodified LT5 quad-cam 32-valve Chevrolet V8 backed by the standard ZF 6-speed manual transmission, and options and features include FX3 Selective Ride Control and Handling suspension, power-operated leather sport seats, dual removable roof panels, electronic air conditioning control, low tire pressure warning, and a Delco Bose CD stereo system. Finished in Polo Green over a Saddle leather interior, this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is one of 105 produced in such a combination for its model year, and is accompanied by its original window sticker, owner's manual, and purchase documentation.

A total of 1,674 1990 Corvettes were finished in Polo Green metallic, 105 of which were ZR1s with a Saddle leather interior. The exterior of this example appears to remain unmodified from stock including ZR1 bodywork, quad exhaust tips which dump beneath the rear end, black trim, and Corvette lettering and badging. The CARFAX report lists no accidents and documents the car as having been kept in Pennsylvania until 2008, when it had accumulated just under 4,000 miles. Dual removable roof panels were optioned when new, with one made of glass and the other color-matched to the body.

ZR1 wheels with a slanted six-spoke design remain mounted and are still wrapped in original-equipment Goodyear Eagle ZR 275- and 315-section front and rear tires.

Interior occupants are surrounded by Saddle leather upholstery which covers the seats and door panels. ZR1 trim included power-adjustable leather sport seats, electronic Selective Ride and Handling, a Delco Bose CD head unit, low tire pressure warning indicators, and electronically-controlled air conditioning.

The gauge array contains a center-mounted digital speedometer and odometer which displays 6,593 miles below a scale for the fuel level. To the left is an 8,000-rpm tachometer and to the right are indicator lights and smaller dials for oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature, and voltage.

The 5.7-liter LT5 Chevrolet V8 uses DOHC, 4-valve cylinder heads designed by Lotus and was assembled by Mercury Marine in Stillwater, Oklahoma before being shipped to Bowling Green, Kentucky for installation. The LT5 uses all-aluminum construction and benefits from factory performance upgrades such as Mahle pistons, forged connecting rods, and a cross-drilled forged crankshaft, among more. The engine was rated at 375 horsepower at 5,800 rpm with 370 pound-feet of torque at 4,800, and a ZF 6-speed manual transmission was the sole drivetrain choice. 

This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is offered on a clear Florida title in the seller's father's name.
