02 zl1's

what stock do you guys put on the 02 zl1's and the phase 2 packages from chevy and gmmg. what ya think about their worth 10-20 yrs. down the road. funny thing also, i live within a stones throw of gmmg

I think most of the appreciation will come for the 427 cars. Like all muscle cars they won't truly increase in value for 10-20 years when cars like that are no longer available. It takes time. Remember the original 69 ZL1s wouldn't even sell new. So, appreciation, if any, will come somewhere down the road.

The reason I bought one is (in my humble opinion ) I think the last generation of Z28/SS Camaros is vastly unappreciated. And I love the car.

#2 02 ZL1 is on Ebay right now

How much?

[gemleeus]

its at 50k right now, west chevrolet shows to have a silver one for 125k

West chevrolet actually has a white phase 3 ZL1 on the showroom floor, for approximately $ 110k. This was supposed to be Steve West's personal car but I assume that if he can make about $28k over sticker, he will part with it. As for the silver car, it was picked up from his dealership at the same time the above stated white ZL1 was delivered. It was my understanding, that the silver ZL1 was sold and being transported back to GMMG for phase 3.

Back to the original question, I was wondering the same thing. My car is a 380hp and I have thought about upgrading to the phase 2 package but, I am reluctant to spend the extra money, if somewhere down the road it would not payoff in the value of the car how.

gemleeus,

I stand corrected. I went by West Chevrolet yesterday and the white ZL1 was sold about 2 months ago for $110K. Steve now has his silver car priced at $125K as you had stated. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.

I believe all 69 of the '02 ZL1's will appreciate in value given time. The Phase I and Phase II models number less than the Phase III model so they will be a little rarer. Don't knock the Phase II package though. I own one and Matt, Mike and Bille build them right and extremely tough. Everyone that has ridden in my car simply cannot believe that a late model Chevy is so radical.

For those of you considering an upgrade from Phase I to Phase II, if you can afford it, go for it. Believe me you will be happy you did. I know the Phase III is an awesome package because I have driven a couple of them. But please DO NOT underrate the Phase II package either.

Geezzz........

Whats a guy to do that owns one of the 83 built Dale Earnhardt Intimidator Camaros? It is a GMMG built car and Matt was very happy to work with Earnhardt on it prior to his death.

Should I take it to 140+ MPH and wrap it around a telephone pole simply to collect the insurance so I could buy a ZL1?

Any thoughts?

No, of course not ! ! !

Your Intimidator SS is certainly a very special car. I would love to own one of those as well. The point I was trying to make was that not only are the Phase III package cars special, but so are the Phase II and Phase I cars. For those folks that have considered taking their cars from Phase I to Phase II, I was attempting to assure them that they would be happy with the outcome. It is not my desire to knock your car, the Tom Henry cars, the 35th anniversary performance cars or any other special cars Matt and the crew have produced. I apologize if any of you misunderstood my comments. That was not my intent at all. I was just trying to make the point that I feel ALL of the GMMG cars will be collectable SOMEDAY given the proper love, care and attention they deserve.
