CURRENT VALUES OF CAMARO 427 ALUMINUM ENGINE CARS

[Fast67VelleN2O]

I gotta admit.... this car holds more value to me than any other of the ZL-1's as it is the only sand rail drag car. And it looks badass performing the part in those pictures. Better history than most cars....

Agreed. But would a sand rail ZL-1 be worth more if it was sold at Yenko?

Hey, could you imagine somebody dragging you out to a sand drag race, seeing this car and noticing a feature or two on it that perks your interest so you jot down the dashboard VIN to check it against "The List" when you get home! What a surprise that would've been!

I got one better #61 was sold to a farmer who was harvesting his crops and his machinery broke down so he went to the bank to get a loan for the repairs. There was a used car lot next door to the bank and the camaro was sitting there, Dennis liked the car so he asked for more money to buy the camaro NOT KNOWING IT WAS A ZL1. Years later a man named ED C call and wanted to buy the car, at that time the car was not for sale and he would not sell it so Ed told him what it was WHAT A SHOCK a real ZL1. This car has a lot of great stories about it the sand dragging is just one of them.

Colin,

Very well said…those cars almost exclusively trade hands privately. The collectors with the finest examples do not need to go through auction houses. A quality & legit ZL-1 is definitely a million-dollar plus car.

The elite Muscle is still highly sought after with a greater number of credible buyers than cars. It is the cobbled together clones, plain Jane and half-baked Muscle that has plummeted in value. The demand for ZL-1s, LS-6, Yenkos, W-30s, 68-69 HOs, Stage-1 and RAIV Judges and 69 TA’s etc…will always completely outpace supply. Those cars if QUALITY, REAL and DOCUMENTED will only continue to increase in value regardless of economic conditions.

The actual problem is finding an authentic & quality no-excuses car today. People with the finest cars generally WILL NOT sell. It is like finding the preverbal needle in the haystack. Most sales for top-flight cars are behind closed doors anyway as Colin mentioned, so it is difficult to get an accurate price gauge. The cars predominately going through the auction houses now are just that… professional auction cars!

As one who follows Muscle convertibles especially the Olds market closely. I can tell you that primarily all of the W-30 ragtops that I’ve seen go through the auction houses are professional auction retreads with terrible histories and NO quality docs. Those cars again primarily exclusively change hands privately. So to make a long story short a high quality car is still worth big $$$$ but finding that car is an extremely difficult proposition.
