1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 – $1 million
Only a total of 69 ZL-1 Camaros were ever built. This low
number, along with its potential for high performance, makes the car one of the
most rare and sought after muscle cars in the world.
The engine type is an OHV V8 with a displacement of 427 cubic
inches or 6,998 cc. It has a maximum 430 horsepower at 5,200 rpm. The ZL-1 can
go up to 60 miles per hour in just 5.3 seconds and can run the quarter mile in
just 13.2 seconds at a speed of 110 miles per hour. On the converse, the car
can stop within 132 feet when it is powered down from 60 miles per hour to a
full stop.
The car has a four-speed manual transmission. It measures 186
inches in length and 74 inches in width. The car weighs 3,435 pounds and stands
51.1 inches tall.
The car’s high value today is ironic considering its poor sales
performance when it was introduced. The Central Office Production Order of
Chevrolet only approved the order after a dealer guaranteed it would buy 50
units. The first two units delivered would not even start because of the cold
weather then prevailing in Illinois. The sticker price of $7,200 also turned
off a lot of buyers. Only 13 were sold, with the rest shipped back to Chevrolet
or exchanged with other dealers.
