❤️ From the Seller
"We are proud to present this resto-modded 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1. Under the hood is a technological marvel; the product of General Motors guidelines, Lotus engineering, and Mercury Machine manufacturing. Given the name LT5, this 5.7L V8 was given dual overhead cams, a far stray from the typical pushrod arrangement. High-flowing cylinder heads, and a plethora of bespoke parts pushes a factory LT5 to around 375 horsepower. The engine in this ZR-1 has had a number of upgrades bringing power just north of 500! Starting with the Haibeck 500 package, the cylinder heads, injector housings, and plenum are ported. this alone boosts power significantly! The Camshafts have been upgraded to units from Callaway to really make this aluminum powerplant sing!
Power is sent through a new old stock replacement transmission to the 4.11 rear gear spinning the massive 315 wide rear Mickey Thompson tires. The ZR-1 was repainted around 2014 and still shows very well. A cacophony of upgrades can be found all over the 'Vette, including a number of interior customizations, R134a A/C retrofit, drilled & slotted disc brakes front & rear with EBC pads, GE Nighthawk headlights, a MOMO steering wheel & pedal covers, and a booming aftermarket stereo setup. this corvette has had plenty of service, making it ready to roll for the next owner. The engine has been completely re-gasketed, virtually every sensor has been replaced, the suspension was given a full overhaul front and back, and a custom fuel pump module was engineered, designed, produced, and installed to keep the LT5 fed a constant stream of fuel!
This ZR-1 sounds like a dream, thanks to the Stainless Works headers feeding into a Billy Boat 3" dual exhaust. You'll want to keep winding this exotic V8 out to redline time after time just to hear the sweet sound of horsepower! Hop in and prepare to takeoff!
🧠 Did you know?
The 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 Haibeck 500 was one of the most extreme street-focused evolutions of the already legendary “King of the Hill” Corvette, transformed by Corvette engineer and performance specialist Jim Haibeck into a machine capable of supercar-level performance long before factory-built exotics routinely crossed the 200-mph threshold. Starting with the advanced Lotus-designed, Mercury Marine-built LT5 dual-overhead-cam V8, Haibeck modified the engine with larger displacement, revised cam timing, upgraded intake components, and extensive tuning to push output to roughly 500 horsepower—an astonishing figure for the early 1990s. A lesser-known detail is that many Haibeck-built ZR-1s retained surprisingly civilized street manners despite their massive performance increases, making them feared highway predators while still appearing almost stock from the outside. Because production numbers were tiny and each build was highly individualized, genuine Haibeck 500 cars have become some of the most respected and elusive tuner-era Corvettes ever created.
