"Rare" enough to get a 10-20% premium over KBB value.

From the responses so far, it seems pretty normal that they're going for above KBB value. Just what I wanted to know, thanks!

Love it! Love that color, and white, but not ready to buy yet.

It's weird. Aside from car shows, I've only seen 2 others on the road or at a dealership... but then there are 3 at work (mine plus 2). Having said that, one of the guys at work ordered one after seeing mine. I see more ZL1s than 1LEs. I wonder if the manual only is a deterrent for some buyers. When I bought mine, only 1 dealership in the area knew what it was or had allocation... which I think contributes to how few are in my area.

I have a yellow 1ss 1LE 2013. It's 1 of only 28 Made That's pretty rare.

Thats a cool poster you got there.

My 1le is same as yours and same color except mine is a 2015, I will be anxious too see how many in yellow were made for the 2015 year. I would say it will be pretty close to yours..

Inferno Orange Metallic would be a rare/limited production color. Only used in year one then discontinued.

Victory red as well. Depending how good your eyes are

1LEs account for 2% of all Camaro sales.

You are not going to save any money doing it that way. To do the full package would cost over 13k in parts alone not including any labor, tax or shipping.

Here is the full list your 3500 buys you:
close ratio manual transmission that has higher final drive (3.91 vs. 3.45)
air-to-liquid cooling system lifted from the ZL1 (trans and oil coolers)
20-inch wheels covered in Goodyear Eagle Supercar G:2 tires, 285 on all 4 corners
Improved wheel bearings (zl1)
Improved toe links
upgraded sub-frame bushes
Better rear shock mounts
rear monotube shocks
thicker antiroll bars(27mm front, 28mm rear)
strut-tower bar
beefed up the rear-axle half-shafts
ZL1's high-capacity fuel pump and additional fuel pickups were also added to prevent fuel starvation in hard-cornering situations.
matte-black hood
functional front splitter
rear spoiler
Oil catch can
red Brembo brake calipers
ZL1's flat-bottom, microfiber-covered steering wheel
short shifter topped with a microfiber shift knob.

Summary:
$2,600 in suspension parts
$2,100 for rear diff and axles
$4,700 in wheels and tires
$4,000 in transmission
$13,400 in parts, not including aero (front splitter, rear spoiler) or interior (suede steering wheel and shifter), zl1 fuel pump, oil catch can, trans and oil coolers, hood wrap, tax, shipping or labor.

1 of 64 2013 yellow 2SS 1LEs. I live in North Dallas and drive frequently to Austin. I have only seen 3 other 1LEs ever, 1 2013 and 2 2014s. Never seen one at a dealership except the one where I found mine.
