Although they really have this one marked up.

WE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY A COUPLE OF PEOPLE REGARDING THIS VEHICLE, THIS IS OUR VEHICLE WE BOUGHT FROM SPENCER, IT IS FOR SALE, THE TITLE IS FROM COLLECTOR MOTORS, THOSE OF YOU WHO APPARENTLY HAD ISSUES WITH SPENCER, I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT, BUT THERE IS NO REASON TO CONTACT US AND SWEAR AT OUR PERSONNEL. I'M NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE JUSTICE COMING AND THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE LAST ZL1'S BUILT BY SPENCER.

Nice car and I wouldn't kick it out of the garage at all and would drive the wheels off of it, however, for what he charged people for ZL1 clones, this thing's build quality is total garbage. Look at the right quarter and tail panel angle and gaps, as well as the tilt column lever, the trunk lid gaps, hood gaps. I can keep going on and on. It gets more appalling the more I look at it for the $$$$ spent.

As an FYI-


The REAL RS/ZL1 #55 is at the bottom of the first page of this post....has the same type of stripes!

The tilt column lever definitely makes me wonder what else came out of the parts bin.

I'm not usually a fan of vinyl tops but I do like the color combination. And the 1972 or so Cadillac coupe in the background.

That’s my favourite Camaro of all time (the REAL RS/ZL1 #55... that is)!

Has no RS headlight stuff under the hood, inside out cowl induction seal, non function Cowl induction, no a arm dust flaps. With any luck, Spencer won't build any more of these.

I’ve yet to hear or read about anyone that was happy/impressed with one of his builds.....

Interesting - didn't know that. I have seen the car (not in person) and read about the dealer-added stripes, but thought they were just on the hood.


BTW, what an awesome collection! Who does it belong to?

That was a collection in Az that was sold at Mecum years ago.

Kind of a shame to break that one up. Wish there was a musclecar museum open to the public that is closer to me. A buddy of mine handles maintenance for the private collection that belongs to Jim Patterson, a well-known businessman in my city, but he collects mainly antique European cars - French automobiles specifically. While I like just about any cool car that has been preserved through the years, it doesn't stoke my fire like a good collection of American Muscle.
