Video of Camaro ZL1 at Barrett Jackson. Sells for $250k to Rick Hendrick

I'm just glad I have a car that looks very similar, well, mine was slightly cheeper. The duel pipes do look sick! It's sad we won't see many on the road, it really is an amazing piece of work.

now, seriously, who didn't see that one coming? lol


congrats to Rick on buying an awesome car!

did you notice how they didn't show anything with the camera. A few quick fly-by shots and that's it..... enough with the secrecy already!!!!

I know because I was there and saw the car myself and spoke with Chevy reps at the ZL1 display. The car in my avatar, is the car hiding under the Carbon Flash wrap.

It all makes sense now... They kept saying that the car would be #69 off the line. The car shown with the red paint in the engine compartment had to be the Red Camaro from Chicago, wrapped as suggested just for display purposes. Another reason for the quick run by shots of the car.

Very nice and thanks for taking the time to record ^ share..........watched the show until dinner time and missed seeing the car live.

That would be a win. I'll be looking.

So, none of what you saw was final.... all the potential changes we all know about might be on the final vehicle... such as cold air intake scoop etc etc etc

So what happens to the 1 of 1 in Carbon Flash that was on stage?

A unique one-off 2012 Camaro ZL1 was auctioned off tonight at the Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction in Las Vegas, NV. This particular model will be the only 2012 Camaro ZL1 in Carbon Flash Metallic. It will also feature a VIN that honors the original ZL1’s – a VIN ending in 00069. Only 69 of those first ZL1’s were produced in the 1969 model year. All proceeds from the auction’s sale will benefit the YMCA of Southern Nevada.

The winner was Rick Hendrick with a bid of $250,000!


Sorry for the quality. I don't have a DVR. So this is the best I could do.

Beautiful! Edit: Even if it is Red on the inside!

I just happened to be listening to Rockin' in the Free World! (Pearl Jam version)

"Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive!"

I dunno how fitting the song is... but it sure went well while watching that ZL1!

True...a tax write off for charity and a nice piece for his collection! Must be nice!

Congratulations and Thank You Mr Rick Hendrick from all of us here in Oshawa Home of your new ZL1 VIN # 00069 .

I don't think its that cheap man.

I know to build a C6R cost's around $450k-$500.

I would think the NASCAR would be around that area give or take.
