Chevrolet introduced the ZR-1 performance package for the C3 Corvette in 1970, pairing it with the LT-1 engine. The option added solid lifters, a heavy-duty four-speed transmission, power brakes, an aluminum radiator, and an upgraded suspension. Just 58 cars were built that first year, helping establish the ZR-1 as one of Corvette’s rarest and most performance-focused models.
The company closed out the seventh-generation Corvette with its most powerful and advanced production model at the time: the C7 ZR1. With over 750 hp and extensive performance upgrades, its desirability remains strong—even after the debut of the mid-engine C8—thanks to its low production numbers of under 3,000 units.
Listed for sale on Bring a Trailer, this 2019 Corvette ZR1 Convertible is finished in Corvette Racing Yellow Tintcoat and is reportedly one of only about 16 convertibles painted this color for the year. It has only 105 miles on the odometer.
Power comes from a supercharged 6.2-liter LT5 V8 producing 755 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic. It sprints from 0-60 mph in 2.85 seconds and reaches 212 mph, placing it among the quickest rear-wheel-drive cars of its era. This example is also one of just 2,761 cars with the 3ZR Premium Package, equipped with Spice Red leather seats, memory functions, a Bose audio system with navigation, carbon-fiber and suede interior trim, and a performance data recorder.
It also includes the ZTK Track Performance Package, adding Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, a carbon-fiber splitter, stiffer suspension tuning, and an adjustable rear wing for more downforce. Additional performance features include Magnetic Ride Control, carbon-ceramic brakes, a rear differential cooler, chrome alloy wheels, and a multimode exhaust system.
