I made the right choice in my purchase with how i use my car, but I would be lying if I said I didn't occasionally wish I had bought the Z/28. Based on the current prices, I think it will definately go up in value in the long term. Based on the original sticker, I agree with others that it has an uphill battle.
Regardless of the value it should be the most collectable of the 5th gens.

I'm not sure that's correct. The 5th gen ZL1 had a sequential vin, but I don't think the Z/28 did as weird as that is.

With attrition from accidents and being raced into the ground, the small number of Z/28s will get really small.
So if you have a clean low mile daily it will be worth quite a bit. A beat up race car not so much. Of those approx. 1290 2015's how many are left? Not beat up at the track or in a wrecking yard? You are probably under 800 left.

I wasn't trying to make this a 1Le vs Z28 i'm only talking about a dollar to dollar value . The fact is that the age of the Z28 in behind us and the 5th gen as far as being rare is no where close to the one of four you had , which would bring in more money today at auction? And don't forget that the NA 427 you are talking about with the moon landing was a big block not a small block like in the 5th gen. |

I can't believe that people wanting a track car are not buying them up , if i could have a track car i would buy one . From what i understand the brakes should go 50,000 miles at least if all goes perfect with them. |

There were a lot of reasons why the Z was a sales failure- ride quality, minimum of options, price point, and releasing it simultaneously with the C6Z06 all led to an epic fail. What's funny is when the 1LE came out in the Gen 3 dealers would not order/ could not give them away either due to ride quaility with only delron bushings! . The beauty and significance of the car is something like this almost never happens at GM,where engineers are given the freedom to make the track beast they want. Ostensibly they were built for racing homologation and they won back to back CTSCC championships cementing their legacy in GM's racing heritage. It was an easy sell to the brass given the LS7 was in the winter of it's life due to emissions..the general never throws parts away. If you look back half a century ago how Vince Piggens and Co were able to bamboozle the brass and make the ZL1, Al O and Mark Stileo did the same with the gen 5Z. They both were double the price of a modestly optioned camaro, and both couldn't be given away. Obviously these will never reach those valuation metrics, but IMO they will find an audience in time and the already limited production total assures that. There's probably less than a couple hundred out there that are in bubble or mint condition with hundreds of thousands of future collectors setting the market pricing. All just my .02
