Would You Pay $236K For A 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition?

The sixth-generation Chevy Camaro was discontinued last year, marking what could be the final internal combustion vehicle to wear the iconic Camaro nameplate. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that enthusiasts are scrambling to secure a sixth-gen Camaro to call their own, with high-end versions like the 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition going for well over six figures. The question, then, becomes this – what would you pay for a 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition?

The 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition.

Auction results point to some very high numbers indeed. For example, several units of the 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition have rolled through various Mecum Auction events this year, with prices hitting $132,000 in January, as well as $159,500 and $170,500 in March. At a Barrett-Jackson event in January, a 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition sold for a whopping $236,500.

Those are eye-popping figures for a Camaro, no matter how you slice it. Similar numbers can also be found outside the auction circuit. For example, one very optimistic dealer, Cooper Chevrolet in Alabama, has a 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition listed for $198,900.

Granted, the ZL1 Collector Edition is mighty attractive. Not only is it likely one of the last ICE-based Camaros ever made, but production was relatively limited, with a total of only 1,335 Collector Edition units produced. Of those 1,335 units, just 350 units are the range-topping ZL1 trim (274 in the Coupe body style, and 76 in the Convertible body style).

As for the Collector Edition package itself, content varies between the different trim levels, with ZL1 models receiving a Black Metallic center stripe, badging, Panther Black Matte paint (paint code GNW), A Mosaic Black front splitter and grille, a carbon fiber spoiler, and more. As a reminder, all sixth-gen ZL1 models cradle the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine and ride on the GM Alpha platform. Production took place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

With all that said, we still want to know – how much do you think the 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition is worth? Let us know by posting in the comments below, and remember to subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevy Camaro news, Chevy news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

  1. The $15,000 upcharge that GM is asking for this car is humorous enough.

    $15,000 buys you:
    -Different paint
    -Different wheels
    -Parts bin splitter and spoiler
    -A watch

    The Mustang and Challenger have both had countless variations with actual PERFORMANCE upgrades over the years: BOSS, Mach 1, Bullitt, GT350, GT350R, Dark Horse, Hellcat, Scat Pack 1320, T/A, Black Ghost, Swinger, etc., etc., etc. What do we GM fans get as a “retirement gift” to one of the most iconic pony cars of all time? A glorified sticker package. Dreadful…

    1. I love the Camaro for many more reasons than i can describe here. I could write a book.

  2. Let me think for a minute…

    NO

    It’s the same car they released in late 2015…

    Is the watch worth $200,000?

    Then maybe…

  3. Congrats to the schmuck that paid for it. I’m not for taxing the rich but stupid auctions like this doesn’t help their argument to keep their money from the government.

  6. Little gm let Camaro die again. Like their lack of interest in promoting it or making any real changes to Generation 6, these articles are too little and too late. Like after the death of the 2002, sad again. Meanwhile, Mustang & Charger live on with interesting updates.

  7. Those redesigned Mustangs look better every day.

  8. H@ll no!!!! Now, if GM would have put an LT5, massaged it to have 755HP/755TQ, along with adjustable ride height, an updated interior, and more trunk space! Then I might justify paying $100k…..not $236K for a 9 year old production car. Such a disgrace!

  9. You can get a new Corvette 3LT convertible PLUS a 2017 McLaren 650S for the same price.

  10. I agree. GM missed the boat entirely on this “Good Bye” package. They could have done a1969 “Retro” package. But instead, we got a flat black paint job, a hood stripe, and a stupid price. When they brought back the Camaro, it was sort of a 1969 throw-back. Over the years, it has transformed into a “tuner” wannabe. UGLY! Mary and her cabinet, want everything to be EV’s. NOBODY wants this KRAP! The auction prices for these right now, is just plain stupid. This version will NENER catchup to the most beautiful Camaro ever but…1969 Z/28, and the 1969 SS396 375 HP. Also the COPO’s. No matter how you cut it, GM has really messed up on this car.

  11. THIS ALSO SHOWS YOU HOW A DEALERSHIP IS WILLING TO RIP OFF THEIR CUSTOMERS! DOESNT HELP ME TRUST EM.

    1. The article is literally about vehicles running through Mecum and Barrett-Jackson – typically auctions only collectors would be attending to buy for personal reasons. No where in this article does it talk about dealers selling them for that much. It’s almost like you didn’t read the article.

      1. It mentions an Alabama dealer trying to sell one for $198,000.

        Reply
        1. Funny, no one ever complains about the individual making big bucks on a speculative flip. However, the dealer is always evil for making a buck on the same vehicle. The overhead in a large metro dealership is equal to the debt payment of a third world country. What’s the problem? Dealers do make money on most of the vehicles they sell but they do have their losses as well. You have to make money whenever possible. If you’re going to make it thru rainy seasons.

  14. That Camaro in Alabama has 2111 miles on it. I’ll bet those were hard driven miles.

  15. If you bought it to drive, then no. If you bought it as an investment then only time, a long time, will tell but still no. Better ways to invest your money.

    Reply
    1. This right here. MUCH better ways to invest. Also, with the ridiculous climate pushes by various agencies, politicians, and companies, by the time this is worth what was paid, you might not even be able to own an ICE vehicle anymore, much less drive one.

      1. 40 years from now they’ll still be cranking over ICE vehicles.

  18. This is why I bought a loaded C8 Coupe for $90,000. Hi, Dollar Mustangs and Camaros have always been a joke compared to the price of a Corvette.

    1. Exactly, we sold a 2008 corvette coupe and got a new ZL1 in 2013. Had it for a little over a year. Loved the car but it wasn’t a corvette. I found a dealer that traded me right for a new 2014 Corvette. I don’t remember the msrp on either cars but it was very close.

    Exactly , it took me forever to find a dealer that was able to order me a ZL1 in late 23 model year.
    With the lt4 and 10 speed , its is one of the best cars out there . A super low or no mileage car will bring a good price! The prices will go up and down. I traded mine with a 103 miles on it for a Z06
    If anyone really tried to get a ZL1 knows how had they are to get even if it’s not an Collectors edition
    It’s nice to listen to what everyone is saying.

  20. The price is outrageous! That stupid watch is junk.they should gave a Rolex Daytona instead. A solid platinum version! Then I would say it’s in the ballpark.

  21. It was at Auction,but a $100k Tesla can beat it in the 1/4 mile !! What’s it got 650hp.? Lot of new rear tires !!!

  23. Cooper Chevrolet is a shady dealership. They tried to squeeze ever bit that they could out of the pandemic shortage and it looks like they are still trying. The only dealership I had a worse experience with was Nalley Chevrolet in Union City, GA.

    If you are buying a Chevrolet in or around Georgia I highly recommend Day’s Chevrolet. I purchased my Blazer from them for MSRP with no markup or BS dealer installed accessories and no pressure for any warranties. I was out of there in less than 10 minutes after the test drive. I went to the Jasper location, but the also have one in Acworth and I have heard they are great too.

  24. If you have $236,000 to spend on your new Camaro then, ya it’s worth it to that guy. Guys are spending in excess of $325,000 Canadian for 8 year old Viper ACRs.
