CURRENT VALUES OF CAMARO 427 ALUMINUM ENGINE CARS

[Charley Lillard]

The one available now for 475-500K from what I am told is missing it's hidden vins because that whole firewall dash area was cut out during it's life as a sand rail. That is what I believe is hurting that car. The RS ZL1 sold for 800K and the owner has turned down 1.2mil. I was told the price is 1.5 mil but now I'm told even that won't buy it. I would say a stand up 4 speed ZL1 is around 800K.

WOW!! That is 1967 Corvette L88 territory, and seperates the men from the boys. I know that cars like this often change hands behind closed doord with tight lips so it is hard to tell what the REAL prices are.

The RS ZL1 is really the holy grail, because its the whole package. Of the 69 built, 50 were Fred Gibb ordered strippers, very much the same other than colors and transmissions. If you want a "different" ZL1, you're left with the remaining 19. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe its the only RS ZL1. So its THE ONE. Add to that it was never a race car, has its born-with drivetrain, has survived in great shape and has never had any "stories" attached to it, really makes it the ultimate hipo Camaro in my opinion. There's a huge financial gulf between cars with excuses and those without. Last I heard, there were still less than 10 of the 69 sporting their "born-with" motors, and these have always been the most coveted, since there were always many reasons for ZL1 Camaros to lose their engines since Day 1.

There is one other RS ZL1 out these ways and IMO the cars WITH the race histories are more interesting (and IMHO worth more). Ultimate in my mind w/o a doubt belongs to a tall fella that frequents our SCR and runs the living h*ll out of it at the track!!!!

[firstgenaddict]

The stories that go along with them are what make the cars unique and interesting... IMHO

I believe that Craig Jackson still owns the other RS ZL1.

It is silver.

Ken B's ZL1 is certainly one of the most valuable ZL1s, for many reasons,including the fact that it is the only one known to still have the original owner option.

AMEN!

And ALL the original components for that car (minus tires) are still in the owner's possesion. I don't know how anyone could EVER put a value on that car!

[mockingbird812]

DC - words like priceless or gazillion would be appropriate!!

Concerning Mr. B's ZL-1, I think that the value in it lies with him still owning it! After 41 years, he has to view that car as an extension of himself. Personally, I would hate to even see that car with an owner besides him.

The blue RS/ZL1 that I believe you are referring to is on display at the AACA Museum in Hershey through March, 2010. I'm attaching a picture.
