When it comes to modern Corvettes, no model is as exciting as the C6-generation ZR1; not counting the brand-new 2015 Z06 of course. Until the latter arrived, the ZR1 was the cream of the Corvette crop. Powered by a supercharged, 6.2-liter V-8 that sent 638 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque to the pavement, the ZR1 was capable of 0-to-60 sprints of 3.4 seconds and a top speed in excess of 205 mph. It took GM nearly six years and a 650-pony Z06 to deliver a sports car that could rise above the mythical ZR1. Without a new ZR1 on the horizon, the most revered Corvette of the early 2010s is still considered a prized jewel; some would say it’s already a classic. And while some may beg to differ and scoff at Chevy’s previous halo car with a more powerful Z06 around, there are a few ZR1s that can still fetch a lot of dough. One of them is Mario Andretti’s very own example and it’s up for grabs on eBay as we speak.
Finished in Blade Silver Metallic — not the most exciting color for a Corvette if you ask me — this particular ZR1 has only 12,872 miles on the odometer and, according to the seller, it has been kept in the garage for many years. Judging by the spotless condition of the Dark Titanium interior, it seems he’s not lying. Besides being in near-mint condition, the ZR1 is also loaded with all the goodies, including air conditioning, cruise control, power locks, power windows and host of safety features.
If you’re in the market for sports car that has been owned by F1 legend Mario Andretti himself, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. The bidding ends at 3:00 p.m. EST, January 8th, 2015, so make sure you don’t miss it.
