1994 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

This is not just another C4 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, but a very special reported one-off that was created for the Ronald McDonald charity. A one-off example of America’s sweetheart sports car created for a worthy cause is certain to be highly desirable, and this 1994 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 Ronald McDonald Charity is said to have been owned by GM in Michigan, who put 7,000 miles on it before being sold to the current owner, and to date, bears only 30,000 miles on the odometer. It’s also said to be the only Corvette of this era that the factory made in this interior and exterior color combo, and comes with the original window sticker, EPA exemption from GM and full documentation. If that isn’t enough, there’s also a feature calendar, as well as a magazine with feature about this car thrown in, for added provenance.

Exterior and Interior

The C4’s design took the Corvette firmly into the Eighties, with its straight edges, curves in the right places, pop-up headlamps and creased lines. You can literally see the synthwave era materialize in this 1994 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 Ronald McDonald Charity as it drives along with its Competition Yellow paintwork, Corsa exhaust burbling away. The original exhaust is included in the sale, as are two T-Tops, one transparent, and one color-matching, both bearing original serial numbers. The original factory tires are included in the sale, although rest assured, they are not installed on the car for driving on. The Torch Red interior contrasts well with the Competition Yellow exterior, and together, they form the red and yellow color theme of McDonalds. The interior sports all modern conveniences that the ZR-1 variant came with, including climate control, radio, and the iconic electronic dashboard with liquid crystal display gauges.

Engine

This 1994 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 Ronald McDonald Charity is not just a boulevard cruiser, as it’s equipped with the ZR-1 Special Performance Package. The 5.7L LT5 V8 has been extensively massaged by GM to put out 375hp to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Other highlights of this package include a Bosch ABS system and Bilstein FX3 suspension system. Performance figures include zero to sixty in under five seconds, and a top speed of 179mph.
