I love these pre-production C4 Corvette ZR-1s. The 8,000rpm digital tacho is just so cool.

(The production models got the facelifted interior with the more conventional instruments, among other things.)

The 280ZX 2+2 catches a lot of flack for being more of a grand tourer than a bare-knuckled sports car like its 240Z predecessor, but I really loved mine.

Good history, a new clutch, and ~51k. Classy colour combo, too.

Five hours left.
