If either of last week’s Powerball winners, or the newly-crowned richest person in the world happen to read the site [which is, honestly pretty likely, especially in Ellison’s case!] and are looking for the perfect way to celebrate their recent financial gains with an un-pretentious modern American legend, we’ve been tracking a possible one-stop shop for just such an occasion!
(239)304-9898, remember the number. It will connect you – or your butler – with R3 Motorcars of Naples, Florida, AKA the home of the finest assortment of recent high-end Corvettes on the ‘net right now. They have a collector grade (374 miles!) 2019 ZR1 with the ZTK, Sebring Orange Design Package, M7 transmission “Holy Trinity” of options, our vote for the best C8 Z06 currently up for grabs – a gorgeous Hysteria 3LZ Z07 with exposed Carbon Wheels and Comp Seats trimmed in caliper-matching yellow stitching – and they offer free enclosed shipping nationwide!
Oh, yeah, did we forget to mention that they were also able to source one of the all-too-rare 2025 ZR1? Only about 100 of the 1,064-horse marvels made it off the production line at Bowling Green for its first model year; R3’s is number 31. With so few made, all extant examples are unique, but even in that context, 31 still stands out. In a sea of outrageous Big Wing builds, though, it’s distinctive for its subtlety. It was sprayed Arctic White and ordered without any of the optional stripes. It also landed in the 30% subgroup that was built for top speed – capable of 233 MPH (it’s still crazy to write that!) – rather than downforce. Inside, the under-the-radar motif continues with a Jet Black 3ZR treatment upgraded with Competition Seats, blue stitching, and both the Stealth and Carbon Fiber 2 packages.
Additional options include ZR1 calling-card blue brake calipers, carbon mirror caps, body-color split rear window, black exhaust tips and lug nuts, and stealth Crossed Flag badges. After completing Museum Delivery, it was also treated to $18,000 in mods. The biggest ticket items on the upgrade list are the $12k Vossen wheels (20 inches in front and 21 out back) and a host of carbon fiber pieces: diffuser, factory-spec grille inserts, and door sill plates.
This most recent odometer sits at 725 miles, and, most notably, at $399,989, it will be the first used ’25 ZR1 to sell for under $400,000, pending the BaT car’s sale. At this rate, it won’t be long before people who aren’t higher-ups at Oracle or lottery winners can score one of these bad boys, and that’s the best news of all!

Well they designed them to look like Ferrari’s, and now they’ve become priced like Ferrari’s, putting Corvettes out of the reach of the regular working man. It was a good ride while it lasted. I’m glad I’ve got a C6 Grand Sport convertible with a manual transmission that I love that should be good for many more miles.
These new ZR1’s have only been available since Spring. Unless the owner lost his job, why would someone spend all that money purchasing this car and spend all that money on aftermarket upgrades only to get rid of it super quick? There’s got to be a stupid reason for it.
Robert….more money than common sense is the answer.
Bill-that makes sense. Thank you!
We often hear that Corvettes are too expensive for the “working man” which drives me crazy. In 1968 a Corvette with a big block L88 was also too expensive for the working man. As a matter of fact, back then 2 seater Corvettes even with base level equipment were generally too expensive for the working man. That was an “extra” car in white collar territory. The working man overwhelmingly bought Chevelles and Novas.
New base level C8 Stingrays can be had in the $70,000 range. With $100,000 pickup trucks running around on streets today, it’s a bargain. Upgrade to a C8 and you won’t look back at that C6.
I don’t like the C8 and have no desire for one. I love my stick shift C6 convertible and plan to stick with it.
