Wow. Tough call. I'd rather have the 67.

NVERL8TE · 08-29-2014, 09:39 PM

Sorry you had to sell the 67. The deal I made with the wife was I am going to sell my 67 next year as I wanted to improve a few things before I sold to get top dollar for it. Little does she know its just the upgrades I want to do, haha. No chance I'm selling it, interest rates are still cheap and you only live once.

Nice ZL1, but like most of the fellas on here, I would have kept that '67. But I respect your decision. Gotta do what you gotta do, when you want something very badly. Enjoy the new ride!!

You can always pick up another first gen project to build but in the mean time you get to enjoy a very nice ZL1 that performs well in every format.

My '67 is hanging on a rotisserie in my garage at the moment and I am enjoying the hell out of my ZL.

Love the colors and the car. I bought my zl1 and now looking for a 67. Congrats!

We all like shiny Camaro's and Muscle cars. I have the same color 13 ZL1 and I think you will love it. The first thing that will piss you off is the brake dust. Seriously. Thankfully there is a fix $$ for that.

MikeInAZ · 08-30-2014, 12:23 AM

Congratulations!!! Excellent choice in color! You have great taste man! Now, no regrets, have fun out there!

What is the fix?

ba2ss · 08-30-2014, 09:22 AM

whewww, would have been a tough decision, that 67 is bad ass

lbls1 · 08-30-2014, 10:00 AM

Good luck!

I look at it this way, I have seen plenty of 5th Gen ZL1s driving around, but you don't see too many 1st Gen Camaros in that nice of shape ....... the '67s are gonna be harder and harder to find where as the current ZL1 production is becoming plentiful, it appears .... should have kept the '67 Camaro, IMO ....

perfect example ..... a local Chevy dealership in my area had a 2013 ZL1 (Certified Pre-Owned) , it listed for only $48,xxx .....

KaBoom1701 · 08-30-2014, 02:08 PM

Oh man...not the 69 Camaro!

onewaydave · 09-01-2014, 10:22 PM

Ouch! I know I would have held onto the '67! But you have a very nice and very enjoyable ZL1 that is a blast to drive. Congrats.
