  • 1969 chevrolet camaro zl1

    The current Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is a beastly modern muscle car. It boasts a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine that produces 580 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet, of course, didn't just come up with the ZL1 designation out of thin air. In 1969, the automaker produced a very limited run of COPO Camaro cars equipped with a 427 cubic-inch V-8 engine normally used for drag racing. The engine is called the ZL-1, and it found its way into just 69 total cars. To say that the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 is a rare machine is a bit of an understatement. Now, however , one of them is...
