As much as we hate to admit it, the end was bound to make an appearance. In this case, we’re talking about Chevrolet’s Gen-V Camaro. It’s hard to believe, but some now feel that the 2015 Camaro is simply a “left over”. As soon as all the hubbub that the 2016 Camaro was a redesign hit the presses, it seemed as though all eyes were closed to the Gen-V 2015 cars. But what many seem to forget is that the 2015 cars might actually be the ones to buy. This by no means that we considering the Gen-VI Camaro inferior. Quite the contrary, the 2016 Camaro is an exceptional car. What we’re saying is, it’s no secret that in the collector car hobby, a last model-year design car is usually very desirable. It has been proven time and time again at many of the auction houses, so maybe, just maybe, this will hold true for the 2015 Camaro.
But, what if the 2015 Camaro you find is not just a Camaro, but a real Z/28? There is a real possibility that you have struck proverbial gold. When introduced in 1967, the all-new Z/28 was a factory built race car. Designed to compete in Trans-Am II class racing, the powerful and lightweight car became a true collectible with automotive enthusiasts. When a ’67 Z/28 recently came up for public sale, the approximately $4,000 MSRP was eclipsed by the more than $100,000 hammer price. If you were lucky enough to purchase one–and hold on to it all those years, you definitely made a good investment.
Just like the 1967 version, the 2015 Z/28 was a car that was designed to dominate the competition on the track. Let’s not mince words, it was a race-prepped street car that was made in limited numbers. This means that history could once again repeat itself. Since the new Z/28 was a limited production run, they just might become another “holy grail” car if you can find one now, before it’s too late. When delivered new, the 2015 Z/28 retailed for approximately $75,000. But, while that seems like a lot of money now, what do you think one that has been preserved will be worth in 5, 10, or even 20 years? All we’re saying is that the 2015 Z/28 might make as good an investment as the 1967, if you buy now.
