Good looking car. I had a change to but a 91 with the same miles for 22k the other day. I'd say the price is a little high on this one for current market conditions.

They only made ~6 of the first ones. I have only seen one in my life. The ZL1 and the 83 maybe the only rarer vette.

I researched it and your right there was a 1970 ZR1 package in 1970. I guess the 1990 version is the first one "massed" produced and therefore considered original.

Yeah the 70 ZR1 was very, very limited production. If I was at home I could look up the exact number but it was under 100 if Im not mistaken.

They made 25 70 ZR1's which inclued the LT1 engine, M22 Transmission, special shocks and spring, an aluminum radiator, heavy duty power brakes and front and rear sway bar.
In 71 they made 8.
In 72 they made 20.
They also offered a ZR2 package in 70 and 71 which included the same options but the LS6 motor. There were zero ordered in 70 and 12 in 71.:read:

I looooooove C4 ZR1s. The motors just plain kick ass. I went to school with a guy who had a black '90 ZR1. It was lowered, had big ole CCWs and 335s, some motor work and exhaust work, and a big shot of nitrous. He tried to get me to race him all the time in my '04 Cobra, but I woulda got waxed. The thing sounded amazing. :rockon::rockon:
