Welcome me aboard: New 1994 Corvette ZR-1 owner

[mnl119]

I just bought my first corvette. A 1994 ZR-1 with only 16,000 miles on it!I've never actually driven a ZR-1 before, but I found this one on a dealer lot in San Jose and got it for $26,200 ($28,500) out the door and I thought it was a steal.

I've always dreamed about getting a ZR-1 since the first time I saw one at an auto show in Columbus Ohio in 1990.

I still really can't believe it happened. By the way, this is my first post here. I've spent the last few hours lurking and it looks like a great site for information.

Thanks!

Congrats on your new 94. I agree, you got a steal on that car!
Good Luck. Any other info on your car ? What color interior, What number?

 

[mnl119]

Hey,

It's a Metallic Red exterior with Black interior. Has the dual roof panel option and is #58 for the 1994 model year. Only fault with the car that I've found is a kaput CD palyer, which I shipped off to get fixed for a whopping $150. I should learn how to post some pictures, it's really beautiful.

mnl119,

Welcome to . Glad you could join us.

That dark red metallic is one of my favorite colors. Someone must of traded that car on a new vette. I bet who ever that person was, they will regret it.

Hi There

Speedemon,


That's right, it was the one at Smythe European in San Jose. Did you go to see it at some point?

I didn't actually go see it see it, but I did post that car being available on the Team ZR-1 listserver. There is a couple of Vette shows coming up this weekend here in the Valley, one in Brentwood on Saturday August 14th, and the other one in Lodi on Sunday August 15th. I'm going to the Lodi show on Sunday but haven't decided if I'm going to show the car. Maybe I can meet up with you in Lodi if you decide to attend that show. Here is some info on these shows:

Art,


Thanks for the info on the shows, although neither link was to the one in Brentwood. The links were for Tracy and Lodi. The show in Brentwood takes place about a half mile from my house! I was wondering when it was going to be held this year.

At this point, I wouldn't be able to show the car anyway. The factory CD player was DOA on this one, and I had to remove it, send it away to be fixed, so the dashboard is dissassembeld at this point. I also have to get the insurance stuff straightened out.

How many miles do you have on that '95? Boy it sure looks sharp!

Congratulations!
94 Blk/Blk #256.

I'm sorry that I said Brentwood, I meant Tracy. They canceled the show in Brentwood this year for reasons I don't know, but if you want a schedule of the shows going on in this area here's a link to it:

If you're not doing anything on Sunday just take a drive out here and I'll meet up with you at the show. You don't have to show your car, just show up and check out the show. I don't know if I'm showing may car or not. If I get up Sunday morning and feel up to sitting out in the hot sun, then I'll pull the cover off the car and show up. If not I'll just take the car out later for a Sunday drive. Hope to see you there on in Lodi on Sunday.

Congratulations on the ZR1 purchase! I, too, recently purchased my first Z car. It was on my list of dream Corvettes for years. I understand your excitement on the purchase and it will continue every time you "saddle up" and ride.
Coincidentally, my CD player was kerput, also. Must be one of the idiosyncrasies of "The Beast."

Dennis,

Wow, a 40th anniversary model ZR-1 too! I've been looking at those too, but they are just too expensive for me at this point in my life.

I sent my CD player to Dr Don's in Texas. Others have had good luck with him, so I'll see if I have the same experience. It was $165 with shipping (on ebay) so the price was right.
