Do you ever wish you could go back in time 30 years? With this 1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, 30 years ago is today. Showing only 27 miles, this example remains a true time capsule that looks, feels, and even presents as though it has just rolled off the showroom floor. Original paper tags, factory paint dabs, and marker inspection marks remain visible throughout the engine bay and undercarriage, preserving the authenticity of what may be one of the most original and lowest-mileage C4 ZR-1 examples known. While every ZR-1 represents an important chapter in Corvette history, this particular example is suited for the collector seeking a benchmark-level representation of Chevrolet’s “King of the Hill” performance flagship. The final production year for the C4 ZR-1, 1995 saw only 448 examples produced, and this car is documented as number 352. Adding to its significance is its rare dual Dunn head configuration, a feature reportedly found on only 130 later-production 1995 ZR-1 models. According to accompanying documentation, this combination makes this example exceptionally rare, with its 27-mile odometer reading making it an especially unique piece of Corvette history. Documented with a clean Carfax, original window sticker still attached to the windshield, second window sticker, build sheet, ZR-1 owner’s manual packet, Corvette literature, factory accessories, and additional documentation, this Corvette represents an extraordinary opportunity to preserve one of Chevrolet’s most technologically advanced performance cars of the era.
