Overview of 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 For Sale by Owner

With just 1,025 miles showing, this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an extraordinary low-mileage example of one of the most important American performance cars of its era. The first-year ZR-1 paired the C4 Corvette’s unmistakable shape with the sophisticated 5.7-liter LT5 DOHC 32-valve V8, a ZF 6-speed manual transmission, and unique wide-body hardware developed to handle its increased performance. Finished in Black over a Black leather interior, this example retains hallmark ZR-1 equipment including the dual-mode engine power system with its Full-Power key, Selective Ride Control, staggered 17-inch directional aluminum wheels, and removable targa roof panel. The approximately 1,025 miles displayed are the defining feature here, making this a particularly compelling example for the collector or enthusiast seeking a first-year ZR-1 with remarkably limited indicated use.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is finished in Black and wears the wider rear bodywork that distinguished the ZR-1 from a standard C4 Corvette. Its factory-style directional aluminum wheels measure 17x9.5 inches up front and 17x11 inches at the rear, paired with the ZR-1’s substantial 275/40ZR17 front and 315/35ZR17 rear tire sizing. Pop-up headlights preserve the unmistakable C4 profile, while the removable targa roof panel allows the character of the car to change from closed coupe to open-air grand tourer. With only 1,025 miles showing, the mileage alone makes this first-year ZR-1 stand apart from the many examples that have accumulated decades of regular road use. The exterior of this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is finished in Black and carries the subtle but unmistakable visual cues that separate it from a standard C4. The widened rear bodywork accommodates 17x11 rear wheels and 315/35ZR17 tires, while the fronts measure 17x9.5 with 275/40ZR17 rubber. The directional aluminum wheels are one of the signatures of the early ZR-1, and the removable targa roof panel adds the open-air versatility that has always been part of the Corvette formula. Pop-up headlights and the clean, low C4 profile complete a shape that still looks purposeful decades later. The interior of this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is trimmed in Black leather and feels every bit as special as the drivetrain beneath it. The ZF 6-speed manual dominates the driving experience, while the Normal/Full-Power key switch remains one of the coolest pieces of performance theater from the era. Power-adjustable sport seats, automatic climate control, a Delco/Bose cassette stereo, power windows, power locks, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel round out the cabin. With only 1,025 miles showing, the car’s cockpit presents the rare opportunity to experience the ZR-1 much closer to the way enthusiasts remember it when new.

Engine

Under the clamshell hood is the real reason the ZR-1 earned its reputation: the 5.7-liter naturally aspirated LT5 V8. Developed with dual overhead camshafts, 32 valves, and sequential electronic fuel injection, it produced 375 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque, impressive figures for 1990 and a major departure from the traditional pushrod formula. Power goes to the rear wheels through the ZF 6-speed manual, while Selective Ride Control, four-wheel independent suspension, and four-wheel power disc brakes complete the performance package. More than the numbers, though, it is the LT5’s willingness to rev and the involvement of that manual gearbox that give the first-generation ZR-1 its lasting enthusiast appeal.

The 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo represents one of the most ambitious Japanese-American performance collaborations of the early 1990s, combining dramatic grand-touring styling with a sophisticated twin-turbocharged powertrain and an unusually advanced collection of chassis technology for its era. This example shows approximately 31,533 miles and is finished in Mistic Blue Metallic over a Black interior.
