CURRENT VALUES OF CAMARO 427 ALUMINUM ENGINE CARS

[MultiMopars]

I know these were built in limited numbers (60 or so??) and am wondering if there have been any recent sales of them?

Anybody care to comment on their values based on any recent auction or reporting dealer sales?

You mean the ZL1 and there were 69 of them built and fully documented.

What is the current value? Well the Reggie Jackson #27 rebody countfeit worthless fake of a ZL1 sold at BJ last year for $290k +10%. There is one available now for sale for between $475k-$500k and the low mileage RS survivor bid up to around $800k but was not sold. So to answer your question I would say the current market value is between $300k-$1m but none have changed hands to see what the real market on them is.

The only other car that I can think of for comparision to these cars would be a 1968 Super Stock Hemi Dart or Cuda. Not a great comparision for car models as the Dart competed with the Novas and the Cudas had no where near the appeal then or now as a Camaro. Also the Camaros were an aluminum engine whereas the SS Mopars were cast iron. However, they were race Hemis with a true h.p. of around 575 and with production numbers of around 70 each. I think they are probably one of the most un-valued cars in the old car hobby today. Most all of them have a good race heritage as nearly all of them went to well known racers of the day.

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, I posted this almost exactly a year ago on YouTube, and I haven't checked it in some time. It has over 10,700 views! I was just reading through the comments people posted. I bet a few of them came from Yenko board members.

10 years ago they were trading for around 200k for one that was apart and needing a restoration with most of its born with parts.

Last year, Jerry M. appraised my ZL-1 at 775 to 850k (in restored condition)...if that helps any.

It is an 'original born-with' motor ex-racecar....Fathom Green 4 speed car.

Not to change the subject..but, hey Cris...when do I get my drive???

That's incredible. But they are super rare pieces of Americana and as such deserve the collector status that they have earned. Question; is your car restored currently and are there any nice Survivor ZL1's that are currently out there?

I sold my car to a member here last year soon after Jerry saw it.

I assume it is most likely restored by now

Crissssssssssssssssssssss???????????????????
