The ZL1 was built by Chevrolet back in 69 and that's how it should be built today. The aftermarket build cars will not hold the value a factory produced car will imho. </div></div>

I have to agree with above, plus I love the new hood as it is aerodynamic (good for top end speed) and it matches the theme of the old cowl induction hood used on the 69s.

Aftermarket cars value will depend on what trends the factory continues to build. The aftermarket cars actually done back in 68-69-70 were representative of the highest horsepower at the end of an era. They are valueable and will always be.

I have a friend that spent $25K (liengenfelter) on his 95 vette to go racing (when it was new), and its money long gone if he went to sell that car today.

As long as the 'factory' moves the line in the sand to the right for horsepower ratings, its hard to say what aftermarket cars will really be worth 20 yrs from now. Once the line stops (like what happened in 69-70-71, i.e. an end of an era), it would be those cars at the end that would be likely valuable.

Hey, so what are the odds that 550hp is 'derated' for insurance purposes [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]. It wouldn't be the first time things were underated by the big 3.
