The third Corvette ZR1 from the Lewis collection is the newest and in the most conservative color. Again, with only 7500 miles, it is effectively a new car. The white paint shows no marks or scrapes, the black leather interior is unmarked and the moon roof is black tinted (a new, white moon roof is included as well). This was the 181st Corvette ZR1 built in Bowling Green in 1995; the last one made was number 448 and it was built on April 28, then driven straight across the road to the Corvette Museum. To the very end, the ZR1 was an exotic option to the base Corvette, whose performance was gradually narrowing the gap. In 1995, a base Corvette cost $36,785, while a ZR1 was $68,043. To recap: Would you like to buy a 175mph supercar, developing 405 horsepower from a 32-valve, 4-cam, 350 cubic-inch V8, with a 6-speed manual transmission, an 8,500rpm redline, and 0-60mph in 4 seconds? How about a car that starts every morning, doesn’t go wrong, as if it has a mind of its own, and doesn’t require a $10,000 engine-out timing belt change every five years? Once again: In a few years time the prices that Corvette ZR1s are selling for today are going to seem like a bargain. Without reserve
