0 The Most Expensive Muscle Cars in the World 03


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.
