Among muscle car enthusiasts there is little doubt that the 1969 ZL1 427 Camaro is a legend. To honor the memory of that great car a new ZL1 was created by Corvette-meister John Heinracy, GMMG, the GM Specialty Vehicles Group, and the Camaro/Corvette Brand Team in 2002. A total of 69 cars were produced with three different engine packages, Phase I 400HP 5.7L V8, Phase II 475HP 5.7L V8, and the ground pounding Phase III “CR5” 427, 600HP V8.

This car is Number 47 and one of only 34 that were assembled with the Phase III engine package. Owned by a major California collector, this car has received the best of care and had never been raced. With only 1452 miles of use the car is in perfect condition and ready for the Concours field a well as the drag strip. The original ZL1 Camaro’s have become the holy grail of the muscle car world commanding very high prices. The new ZL1 Supercar is quickly following in it’s tire tracks and is one of today’s highly collectable automobiles.

Canepa Upgrades
Corvette C5 wheels (8.5” X 18” front, 10.5” X 18” rear) finished in a custom matte Titanium have been installed. The tires are GoodYear 255/45ZR18 front and 275/40ZR18 Rear. The original Cragar SS wheel also come with the car. The suspension has been lowered, and a full four wheel alingment performed.

Phase III Engine Package
The engine is based on GM’s racing C5R block, which varies from the standard LS1 block with different coolant passages and special cylinder liners that can stand overboring.

The History of the 1969 ZL1 and 2002 ZL1 Supercar
When it comes to muscle car folklore, the tale of the 1969 ZL1 Camaro is well known. Through Chevrolet’s COPO system, which was typically used to order fleet vehicles—such as police cars or taxis—a brief run of Camaros were authorized to be built with the all-aluminum, 430-horsepower ZL1 427 big-block. Only 69 cars were built and a legend was borne.

Fast forward to 2000 when Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, Michigan ordered a run of 30 “Berger Edition” Camaros; 375-horsepower limited-edition cars that featured distinguishing graphics and a true chambered-exhaust system. Even with a high sticker price they were gobbled up by performance enthusiasts and collectors. The cars were built by GMMG Inc. whose founder; Matt Murphy is a big Camaro fanatic.

In 2002, as the last year of the F-car production began, GMMG planned to send the Camaro out with a bang, and had already built a prototype with the Corvette Z06’s LS6 engine. Using the unique engine gave credence to the idea of a “new” ZL1.

With Berger and GMMG’s recent success, champions at GM, like the Camaro/Corvette brand team’s Scott Settlemire and GM Engineering’s John Heinracy, were receptive to the idea. Approval was given by GM for the ZL1 project and 69 new SL1 Supercars were built.
