I don't see your point, the 1969-70 era cars you've brought up don't have any apples/apples relationship to this thread at all.

Again, this points towards your integrity. You put that in quotes, as if that's what I said.. I said that the ZL1 was hugely expensive for its time/era, which is fact, but I NEVER said it was "horrendously overpriced". Hell, I never said overpriced period. The cars cost what they cost back then, period. You're the one randomly typing weird comments about profitability and prices from 40+ years ago that applies to nothing.

Answer: A Brand New 5/50-warranted ZL1 AND a Base '69 Camaro Coupe! |
"necessarily-equipped", that's rich. Do you believe your rhetoric?

How much profit did Ford make on those '9s?!
GM made money on EVERY ZL1...

How do you know GM made any money on the ZL1? You're just guessing wildly. Furthermore, those Cougars builds don't represent the contracted cost that was negotiated for the Boss 429 builds (which was done niche-line style). You're just tossing out random junk blindly, you've yet to get a single fact straight or analogy-nailed.

Man, you just keep on chewing on your own foot... Google is a wonderful thing, you should use it. Last month the documented FIRST ZL1 produced, an arguably more-valuable-than-average ZL1 by that virtue, hammered-down for $400K. Over the last year, the other few ZL1's that have changed hands, have been in the $200K-$300K range..
Pretty much IDENTICAL to current 1969-1970 Boss 429 sales data, maybe a scoche higher, if you're averaging... So that statement above, again, like most of your "facts", is pure fiction.
And still, after taking another couple of your posts and sending them to the glue factory, I'm still wondering... What the hell do 1969 ZL1 and Boss 429 prices and build-numbers and build-executions have to do with 2012-2013 ZL1's and GT500's??
Hint: The answer is nothing, and if you guess nothing, it'll be the first thing you've been correct/accurate about since diving into this discussion.
Don't skip your lithium doses.
