1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 — 409 Miles
Overview
Representing the inaugural year of one of Chevrolet’s most significant modern performance cars, this 1990 Corvette ZR-1 shows just 409 miles from new. Finished in Polo Green Metallic over Saddle leather, it is equipped with the $27,056 ZR-1 Special Performance Package and powered by the celebrated 5.7-liter LT5 V8, producing 375 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque channeled through a six-speed manual transmission. Its high performance specification is further enhanced by the FX3 three-mode Selective Ride & Handling Package developed by Lotus. Bilstein shock absorbers along with staggered-width 17” styled aluminum wheels wrapped in original Goodyear Eagle ZR tires cap off time-capsule equipment on display—accompanied by complete factory accessories and its original window sticker.
The Saddle leather cabin features power-adjustable sport seats, automatic climate control, a digital speedometer, cruise control, and a Delco/Bose Gold Series stereo with CD and cassette players. Dual removable roof panels—a glass and body-color—were specified at an additional cost of $915 and are both included in the sale. Further materials extend to an ignition key set with emergency key, factory literature folios, and commemorative accessories, contributing to a collector-owned, remarkably low-mileage example.
Supported by a clean CARFAX report and Seller’s Disclosure, this ZR-1 is stated to have received recent service in early 2026. Combining first-year significance, just 409 indicated miles, a desirable Polo Green Metallic over Saddle specification, this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a highly preserved example of the car that elevated the Corvette into a new era of American performance.
