I'm more interested in one due to the fact there won't be as many around. Find More Posts by eddie c. It's a performance buy right now at MSRP but there nothing like getting a deal on a depreciating asset. Last edited by b4z; at PM. Originally Posted by b4z.

I think this car is undeniably good, and gm will build a lot of them, sort of like the e60 M5. Originally Posted by Mr. Poll My guess is automatics coupe, convertible, US and Canada.

Way more then then the Z28 total. Plus that is just the 1LE. There will be noticeably more ZL1s without that option. Last edited by j o n; at AM. Originally Posted by frenchsquared.

PS i have that trans if you want a pic. Im not sure that tells us they built that many cars.

GM had all the left over parts because they did not build the planned. The price was significantly more than what a comparable iron blocked COPO car cost.

Not surprisingly, selling the expensive ZL1 turned out to be fairly sizable task. Although 50 of the first 52 ZL1 Camaros made were shipped to Gibb Chevrolet, the dealer was ultimately only able to sell 13, with the rest being returned to Chevrolet or exchanged with other dealers.

The dealership sold their last ZL1 in , although it was actually repossessed and returned to them a year later. Some of the other dealerships who ended up with the now legendary cars pulled the ZL1s and replaced them with less expensive engines in order to sell the cars.

In the end, a total of 69 ZL1 Camaros were built. Chevrolet actually considered a regular production option ZL1 at one point in but wisely decided it was not a good idea.

The ZL1 engine was also put under the hood of two Corvettes before leaving the factory. Although the cars didn't sell well when new, they certainly do now. The low production numbers combined with the high performance potential make the ZL1 Camaro on of the most sought after rare muscle cars ever made. Before the collector car market burst, it was thought the ZL1 would be the first Camaro to sell for a million dollars.
