The 1971 ZR2 Corvette exceeds the legendary L88 in rarity. Virtually none knew they existed and only a dozen were produced for those that did. Comforts were sacrificed – no power steering, automatic transmission, radio, or air conditioning were available.
 | 1 of 12 ZR2 Special Purpose engine packages produced and only 2 convertible ZR2s. Unrestored with 8,702 miles, lowest mileage ZR2 known to exist. Documented with tank sticker, Protect-O-Plate and dealer shipping order. LS6 454/425 HP engine. M22 4-speed close ratio heavy duty manual transmission. Brands Hatch Green exterior. Black leather interior. J56 special heavy duty brakes. F41 special front and rear suspension. Auxiliary hardtop. | |
The option was $1,221, on top of the coupe's $5,496 base price. | The LS6 engine RPO was offered only for one model year - 1971. With 454 cubic inches, a cast-iron block and aluminum heads, the LS6 was second only to the L88 racing engine. The original LS6 produced 425 bhp and was the most powerful engine offered in 1971. Only 188 cars were produced with this powerplant, less than 1% of Corvette's 21,801 production run.  | |
 | Did they give this hugely collectible 1 of 2 corvette ZR2 away? Nope. The other ZR2 convertible made $440k in 2010. This example appeared at Mecum in 2022 and made $962k. | |
