Finally found an elusive 86 ZR1.

[RED-85-Z51]

These dont pop up often, practically never to be honest..this is the earliest production ZR1...

1986 Corvette zr1

[onedef92]

Yeah, better jump right on that...

[Skia]

One of the ZR-1 mules was an 86.....but not that one.

[8Up]

Just as rare as the 83 corvette.

It be garage kept and comes with extra rims......what could possibly go wrong?

[Kerrmudgeon]

Two of my friends had them new, for what....75K up here!!! If they could only see what their worth now,

I'd grab it if I was you, and park it with the hood open for all to see.

[RED-85-Z51]

90 ZR1's stickered for what...75-100K in some areas...some were higher.

i looked at a 93 ZR1 with the dealer sticker still on it, and it was like 97K....unreal.

But hey...it was the King!

Red, after looking at all the crap you consider buying, I didn't think a window sticker was important to you. Since it its, have I got a truck for you: '04 Silverado, has build sheet, window sticker, sales contract, Chevy Truck brochure from that year, owner's manual, tire warranty, etc. Pretty much everything but the protect-o-plate. Everything runs and drives out as is should, only thing not working is the driver's side seat heater. 116K (that's miles, for our gentle spoken neighbors in the Great White North)

Im not a fan of Post 98 models...the LSX engines dont seem to hold up.

I know...I know, yours has been great, i dont doubt it.

but if you go to the Chevy forums, the LS engines dont hold the cult following that the Gen 1 sbc did, or the Vortec 5700 did, BBC did, etc.

Gots them all important "bigger injectors for more power"...

That has been the exact opposite of my experience.

And thats not surprising at all.

but it seems like they:

Dont tolerate overheating, not even once.
Had camshaft/lifter issues
LAcked the low end torque the 350 had.
had oil consumption problems.

Seems like when people beat on em a little, they just lay down, generally between 150 and 200K miles.

[Fasglas]

only driven 20K miles since 1993

...but driven 200K+ before 1993...
