One thing when I was at a local Camaro show I looked at a couple of 5th Gen ZL1's and did not see a white steering column. Matter of fact I checked three and all had black steering shafts. I am not saying the 1LE is special because of color I just find it annoying not knowing why.
Is there a way to pose the question to GM. I am interested....

This kind of stuff drove me crazy. As I got older, I just let the curiosity go. The people that may know what the deal was, don’t care (factory worker or sick of working on Camaros )
It could have been due to a new supplier, a bunch of scratched parts they save and refinished at one time or maybe even a test run from a change in process like painting or assembly. The folks that do know also can’t disclose any of that information otherwise they’ll get fired. Some things will forever remain a mystery. But in retrospect we may be reading too much into the piece rather than just looking at the whole.
The thing to watch out for are the documentaries that will hopefully come out later on the 1le or zl1.
Btw beautiful Camaro I drove a zl1 that looked just like your car.
