You might be a little young to get it! But it just shows how popular, and loved the 1st gen's were/are, by a lot of ppl who Do get It. The value of these early "special" cars continues to climb, with seemingly no end in site.

Hey, I love my Camaro too but I'm not about to spend $800,000 on a rare ZL1 version of it, even when I am old, gray, and rich. Pretty soon a first gen Camaro will cost the same as a space shuttle...what's the point? It serves not much more purpose than a paper weight in the hands of many people. Or you could buy a machine capable of landing on Mars

This car being $3/4 million doesn't say much about how well people like the first gen in general... Just that ultra rare supercars are expensive.

Re: Change back from your one million dollar bill....

That's one thing I do hope Chevy does with the New Camaro. Make some limited number SPECIAL EDITION models. Just like the 1992 Firehawks that go for over 40k. Now that sounds high for a TPI engine (T-RAM, but still - L98). But there was only like 40 something made and now they command a high price.

I hope we can see some Special edition camaro's even if there are only 40 with like an LS7 or something... Although, I won't be able to afford one until the kids are grown up,... LOL.

Re: Change back from your one million dollar bill....

to those who dont get it, a zl1 just plain isnt a car anymore. its nothing more than an investment. just like rare coins are not money anymore and ancient works of art are not pictures

25 91-92 firehawks made.

For those who don't think a ZL1 is worth that, maybe not to you, maybe not to me but to someone it is like winning the lottery of millionaires.

Maybe if I compared it to some ultra rare Pokemon card or something.

This is probably the same thing many other people said the the original owner, or someone else down the line...especially since the option, in '69, cost so much, but as an option, form Chevy, didn't appear to be a great increase in power over the next most powerful engine. Just a thought...

Re: Change back from your one million dollar bill....

If you are a multi, multi millionaire, you can invest in a 3 million dollar Corvette, or throw it in a bank with no Insurance> Rich people buy expensive items as an investment and as a place to keep their money. If they need cash in a hurry, they can liqidate those items for quick CASH. you invest in your bro in laws resturant, it takes much longet to dump it.

Awesome car! Now, of course a car like that is not meant to be driven or owned by anyone who would have to think twice about finances. Its a museum piece for a very rich person so they can have bragging rights.
