Clone ZL-1s
 

Hello all. I was curious to know what it would cost (generally speaking, I realize that each car is different) to purchase a completed clone ZL-1. Does anyone know of any such cars currently for sale? Thanks so much.

Recent cars done properly have been in the $80K range, if I remember correctly.

There were 2 down Atlantic City. They were around 100,000. One was the silver car on e-bay a few weeks ago, and the other was one from Lakewood, N.J. (Future Classics)I think the car was yellow. Not sure if they sold though. Try this number: (717) 446-6365 The silver car. Future Classics also had a couple yenko clones. Good luck. sam

Thanks for all the quick replies. For those of you in VA, I am rather new to the area (having just come from Phoenix early last year) and am curious to know if there are any regular cruise-ins / car shows / etc. in the Richmond or Tidewater areas where I could see some cars and meet some enthusiasts. I feel like a fish out of water without my Saturday night "Pavilions" cruise-in in Scottsdale (Those of you who have made it out west for BJ or any of the other big auctions know that Phoenix is a Mecca for top-shelf muscle). Also, am I correct in saying that GM Performance Parts makes everything one would need to build a stock-appearing ZL-1?

Re: Clone ZL-1s
 

WOW! 129K for a clone? Why would someone buy a clone for 129K when the Berger CoPo on Ebay did not sell for 110k? Or am I missing something (besides the aluminum block) performance wise that is different?

I believe the one for $129K has an original date-coded ZL-1 motor in it. Agreed . . . I would have a difficult time spending that much on a clone.

Re: Clone ZL-1s
 

Call up Future Classics in Lakewood, N.J. See what they have. I think you can see them at www.futureclassics.com If you know you are buying a clone of anything it becomes a lot easier....Don't need any paper work and don't need anybody judging your car. Just how nice the resto is, that is all! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Sam

Re: Clone ZL-1s
 

its really fun to watch all this going on around us. the muscle car market has gone crazy. you can buy a zl1 motor, i seen here in the forum, for 24k, find a decent plain camaro and install it, with some heavy duty goodies and there you have it "a zl1 clone" 50k in a car, at the most,and expect to get 100k out of it? please be for real. that guy selling that car should be whipped along with the person that buys it.

Re: Clone ZL-1s
 

Geem I have to agree with you on this.....I think it would be wiser to buy a real COPO rather than a perfect ZL1 clone...I don't know which one would be more fun though.I have to think there is no way this car will ever fetch that kind of money.If it does....well I guess it does then ! Remember B/J...if someone likes it enough they will buy it I guess.

FUN, that is beating the heck out of my ZL-1 clone down the 1/4 mile, not being afraid to break it and running low 11's or maybe high 10's this year https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif and trying to shut down the BIG HEMI'S.
But, I see what you guy's are saying I can not believe the prices the clones are bring 50-100k for a restored camaro with a pop can motor. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gifMAYBE NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO SELL!!!!!!!

Re: Clone ZL-1s
 

Buy a COPO and put a Zl1 in it and run the crap out of it. Best of both worlds. When the aluminum motor blows up put the iron one back in.

a person could spend way less.................and have a bunch more fun!!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif KLONEING!!!!!!!

Re: Clone ZL-1s
 

I think a guy in the northern continent did that same thing...........does that make that car worth more??????? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Nah, what's gotta be funny is when that sleeper white, no emblem, hubcap and skinny tire, and quiet as a church mouse Camaro pulls up to the line at the local test 'n' tune, and drops a 12.0@116+ on some wanna-be open headered/big tired car! Now THAT'S funny!

I also heard through the grapevine a certain "Stock Appearing" ZL-1 got a little rough with an '02 Phase III ZL-1. Something to the tune of 11.3@125+!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif
