Clone ZL-1s

[Salvatore]

Call up Future Classics in Lakewood, N.J. See what they have. I think you can see them at www.futureclassics.com If you know you are buying a clone of anything it becomes a lot easier....Don't need any paper work and don't need anybody judging your car. Just how nice the resto is, that is all! Sam

its really fun to watch all this going on around us. the muscle car market has gone crazy. you can buy a zl1 motor, i seen here in the forum, for 24k, find a decent plain camaro and install it, with some heavy duty goodies and there you have it "a zl1 clone" 50k in a car, at the most,and expect to get 100k out of it? please be for real. that guy selling that car should be whipped along with the person that buys it.

Geem I have to agree with you on this.....I think it would be wiser to buy a real COPO rather than a perfect ZL1 clone...I don't know which one would be more fun though.I have to think there is no way this car will ever fetch that kind of money.If it does....well I guess it does then ! Remember B/J...if someone likes it enough they will buy it I guess.

FUN, that is beating the heck out of my ZL-1 clone down the 1/4 mile, not being afraid to break it and running low 11's or maybe high 10's this year and trying to shut down the BIG HEMI'S.
But, I see what you guy's are saying I can not believe the prices the clones are bring 50-100k for a restored camaro with a pop can motor. MAYBE NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO SELL!!!!!!!

Buy a COPO and put a Zl1 in it and run the crap out of it. Best of both worlds. When the aluminum motor blows up put the iron one back in.

Nah, what's gotta be funny is when that sleeper white, no emblem, hubcap and skinny tire, and quiet as a church mouse Camaro pulls up to the line at the local test 'n' tune, and drops a 12.0@116+ on some wanna-be open headered/big tired car! Now THAT'S funny!

I also heard through the grapevine a certain "Stock Appearing" ZL-1 got a little rough with an '02 Phase III ZL-1. Something to the tune of 11.3@125+!!
