Camaro owner potentially made $36k flipping ZL1 bought weeks earlier. He registered the unused MY24 coupe in March and sold it with 370 miles. Rumored Camaro revival is renewing interest in the badge axed in late ’23. Turns out the smartest Camaro investment strategy wasn’t modifying one, restoring a barn-find, or parking one in your garage for 37 years and waiting patiently for it to finally appreciate. It was to simply buy one of the last ever made, drive around for a couple of months and then flip it for an enormous profit. That’s what seems to have happened in the case of this 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, which was bought new in March of this year, more than two years after production ended. We don’t know exactly how much the seller paid for it it – it could have been over list – but we do know from the window sticker that it was ordered with the hardcore 1LE Extreme Track Performance Package and a six-speed manual transmission, and had a with-options MSRP of $86,775. Related: The Pontiac That Chevy Never Built Comes With Burt Reynolds’ Signature Fast forward to May and the car hit the virtual auction block at Cars & Bids looking basically factory fresh, and with ‘around’ 370 miles (595 km) on the clock, according to the listing (the auction images show 361 miles / 581 km). Bidding climbed to $118,000 before the reserve stopped the show, but the story didn’t end there. Shortly after the auction closed, the seller accepted a post-auction offer worth $122,500 from the original highest bidder who had previously written in the comments insisting that “I’m not going any higher.” So if the seller did pay MSRP for the Camaro in March, he would have pocketed roughly $35,700 before fees after only a few hundred miles of occasional use. That is some flip, the kind of money that would buy him a brand new EcoBoost Mustang to fill the void in his garage, though we admit that with half the power, the 315 hp (319 PS), four-cylinder Ford would struggle to provide the same kicks. 650 HP And Manual-Equipped Photos Cars&Bids Because under the ZL1’s hood sits a supercharged 6.2-liter GM V8 pumping out 650 hp (659 PS) and 650 lb-ft of torque (881 Nm). Combined with the six-speed manual gearbox, DSSV dampers, sticky rubber, and aggressive aero package, the ZL1 1LE is a genuine track weapon. The low mileage definitely helped here. The car reportedly hadn’t even needed its first service yet and still came with the window sticker, duffel bag, owner’s manual, and both keys. Basically, it was showroom stock with a tiny bit of tire wear. But maybe talk of a Camaro comeback is helping renew interest in Chevy’s deceased pony car. Reports suggest GM’s approved a new Camaro for 2028, and it’s not the crossover most of us were expecting. Sources say it rides on an updated rear-wheel-drive Alpha platform shared with Cadillac’s next CT5 and a new Buick sedan, and might feature four doors for the first time.
