Body off frame restored to factory ZL-1 specs. It even has an all aluminum 427 from GM Performance.
The ZL-1 legend: Only 69 special ordered ZL-1s were produced from the factory. Considered to be one of the most desirable Chevys ever built, they have sold for over 1 million $. Fred Gibb Chevrolet was interested in filling Chevy's void in the drag racing scene. He ordered 50 Camaros through the COPO program which allowed dealers to custom configure cars. A big horsepower, lightweight car was the goal. He achieved that goal by ordering no frills Camaros. No fancy spoilers, stripes, wheels or options. None of them even had a radio! They did come with F-41 suspension, cowl induction, disc brakes and could be ordered with an automatic or a 4-speed. Of course the all aluminum 427 motor which produced tons of horsepower and torque was the chosen power plant. As the cars were being delivered to Gibb, something was terribly wrong. GM did not absorb the cost of research and development which more than doubled the cost of the car. No dealer could afford this, for the first time ever a a high volume return was made to GM. Gibb returned 37 of the 50 cars. About 20 cars went on to set records in organized drag racing. The others were sold to people with deep pockets. They were so expensive, the last one didn't sell off Gibb's lot until 1973. Looking back, people had no idea that even at $7,200 it could have been the best investment they ever made!

The engine sound is what does it! Prefer 4-speed :)

[@TheDRUM2112]

Sorry jay for this feedback, I love most of your cars. This is a lot of $ for a clone. 10:3:1 compression is not going to give that motor the balls like a 12:5:1 would have been with a real ZL-1. this is too plain Jane for 100K.

The Ultimate Sleeper legend

[@karaDee2363]

If they were concerned about weight, since they omitted the radio and other options, then they should have went with a 4-speed manual instead of the big TH400 automatic

[@Powershift]

You guys have some amazing cars. And, your prices aren't crazy!!

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

Really nice car. The leading edge of the left side of the hood is too high, gap issue. Otherwise, really nice.

[@55555711]

awesome car

[@sanfranciscobay]

That's a very bright Silver Paint job.

[@lorad.722]

The interior is so nice and classy, it look like the interior of a wooden yatch, and that center console at 8:16 is just 🤌

[@sheldonrobertson8670]

One Badass cam, it's definitely got that popcorn sound excellent choice for street sleeper, hope you and everyone is doing well thanks.

[@tercelken]

Wow!!😱😳 That's a factory cam!?
That can is chop-N nicely 👌

[@FaithfulServant316]

Beautiful. Sleeper, until you start it! 🏁🏁🏁👍

[@goaheadmakeourdayscooterpe9644]

Wow love it, plain Jane and no vinyl top, SS or Z28 emblems or spoilers.4 speed would have put it over the top.

[@VG-iq8xq]

Can always think of things I’d change to a car but I’d definitely keep the bigger pipes on it. The old chambered systems are neat but don’t do the 427 justice. TH400 more qt. mile friendly but a M22 would be more fun. Either way a great car!

[@francosgarage1979]

I’d love to come to y’all’s facility and buy some cars. Wow 😍

[@sanfranciscobay]

Listed at $99,998.
