Low mile, mint 6mt ZLEs will be worth more than MSRP but it will take a few yrs.. buy and hold if you can.

I’m pretty confident my car was built during the very first week of production. Only ZL1s with the 6 spd manual transmission were built during the initial production run. The A10s and convertibles started production in February of 2017. Chevy unveiled the 2018 ZL1 1LE in February of 2017 during Speed Week at Daytona. https://www.chevyhardcore.com/news/b...amaro-zl1-1le/ As you can imagine, folks who had ZL1 orders waiting on production when none too happy that Chevy introduced a new package less than five months into production of the 6th gen ZL1.

A car with suspension and aero upgrades but still shares the same engine that’s in other GM models (Corvette, Cadillac, and Camaro) is not going to see the same level of value as a car that has an engine unique to itself. If I were looking at a modern-day GM car as a long-term investment, It would be a C6 or C7 ZR1.

What I was trying to get across was that this was an odd production run. It's somewhat analogous to the bridge between the 1st and 2nd Gen that impacted production due to a strike. I stand corrected for October 20, I am 11 days off, It's still late October. Isn't Oct 20, 2017 to May 2018 a shorter production run? Doesn't new year production usually start in July or August? That was approximately 7 months of production. Here is some infor from GM Heritage:Contacted GM Heritage (Ms. Adelson/kathleen.adelson@gm.com) here is what she sent. 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe/Conv Total Production 3048 Engine LT4 ENG-GAS 8 CYL 6.2L 3048 Transmission MJK TRANS-MAN 6 SPD 1234 Interior Trim H0W SUEDE JET BLACK 3048 Exterior Color GD1 HYPER BLUE 409 Last edited by george; 02-18-2024 at 08:53 AM. |

I didn't think they singled out ZL1 production. I thought they were just part of the total Camaro production.

You are correct, the VIN’s are all jumbled together. I was thinking all Camaro production started that year in October, not just ZL1’s, so the VIN won’t tell us how many ZL1’s were built before yours.

Agreed, the C8 Z06 with LT6 will be collectable one day perhaps depending on how many they make will ultimately determine how much it goes up in value but if we're truly at the end of high power NA engines, then the LT6 has a good chance of becoming collectable one day. The base C8 Stingray, not so much.

Look no further than the Viper ACR as a gauge. Same engine as base Viper, but track ready from the Factory. Current values over double that of a base Viper. Collectors are ultimately fickle and you really can’t guarantee anything, but the current Garage 56 prices prove that collectors are eyeing these cars now. The opinions of longtime Camaro owners clearly don’t drive the collector car market. |

I think any well taken care of 6 gen ZL1-1LE will appreciate in value as time goes on. In fact, I believe a ZL1-1LE will appreciate in value more than any other normal production car of its era.
