AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

IN RISALTO:
• Iconic Corvette ZR1 equipped with the famous 5.7-liter aluminum V8 LT5 engine
• Original signature of Dave McLellan (Corvette Chief Engineer) on the engine plenum
• Entirely original mechanicals

STORIA/PANORAMICA:
The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C4 generation), introduced in the late 1980s and produced through the 1990s, is nicknamed the "King of the Hill" for its extraordinary performance. Developed in collaboration with Lotus and produced by Mercury Marine, it mounted the exclusive all-aluminum dual-overhead-cam V8 LT5 engine. This specimen boasts a highly collectible feature: an original autograph placed directly on the engine by Dave McLellan, the historic Corvette Chief Engineer who succeeded Zora Arkus-Duntov. The car has sat unused for several years.

CARROZZERIA/VERNICIATURA:
The bodywork is in generally good condition. The seller notes only a few minor signs of use commensurate with age, extensively documented in the attached photo gallery.

INTERNI:
The cabin is in generally good condition. The upholstery and original finishes show physiological signs of time and the passage of years.

MECCANICA:
The car is running and completely original. Having sat unused for several years, it requires routine general maintenance. A small oil seepage is noted that ends up on the exhaust manifolds, causing smoke (requires repair). The battery is new and 1 key is present. The tires are in good condition with DOT code 2015.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
