All-Original 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Surfaces: eBay Find

Chevrolet needed the 1969 Camaro ZL1 more than buyers needed it. In order to qualify for NHRA stock car rules, 50 examples of a particular vehicle with proper features needed to be produced for the public.

The result was only 69 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1s built as a one model year option. And one has surfaced on eBay for sale.

20 1969 Camaro ZL1s went into organized drag racing, where they consistently laid down 10-second times, and set several Super Stock world records. This particular ZL1 is number 53 of 69, and one of four ordered in factory Dover White. Amping the rarity factor further is the fact it was equipped with the M22 Rockcrusher four-speed manual transmission, the only Dover White example in existence.

The vehicle has been maintained and cared for over its entire life and, pairing that with its enormous exclusivity factor, the price is pretty. Pretty high, that is. This 1969 Camaro ZL1 is commanding $499,500 on eBay.

Pull out your check books, because this seems worth every single penny.

  1. Actually came across one of these 69s with the ZL1 in 1975, listed in the Autotrader. The car was in Pittsford NY a suburb of Rochester. The listing price was $6995, I thought the seller was nuts. Sure the ZL1 was very rare but us gear heads still considered it a big block Chevy that happened to be aluminum. Shows how smart we were, I can still remember pointing it out to my co-workers at Larry’s Mobil in Henrietta NY, I had just sold my 68 Z/28 to A local Sheriff for $3500 which I considered astronomical.

  2. This car was raced HARD thought its early years…..sold out of Lyle Chevrolet in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio……there was hardly anything original left on the car after being sold in the mid-80’s…..too bad someone didn’t restore it as the racecar it once was…..cared for? Not hardly…..
