Collector Camaro Withdrawn After $82,000 High Bid
What looked like a done deal at auction fell short when the seller declined to accept the top offer for a very rare 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition. The example, offered through Cars&Bids, drew attention not only for its low mileage but for being one of just 350 Collector's Edition coupes produced. Even with a strong $82,000 bid, the dealer chose to keep the car rather than let it go for less than their reserve.
Why this Camaro stands out
This is car number 102 of 350 and shows just 3,200 miles (approximately 5,150 km). It sits in San Antonio, Texas, and arrives with a clean Texas title and a Carfax free of accidents or mileage issues. For buyers seeking a modern American muscle car with true collectible potential, that combination of rarity, provenance, and low miles is significant.
Highlights and equipment:
- Collector's Edition package with unique stripes and special badging
- Matte black exterior paint and exposed carbon-fiber hood insert
- Alcantara steering wheel and additional carbon-fiber interior trim
- Heated, ventilated, power-adjustable Recaro seats
- Bose audio, HID headlights, LED taillights
- Limited-slip differential, 20-inch wheels, Magnetic Ride Control
Performance and driving figures
Under the hood the Camaro ZL1 retains the headline-grabbing performance: a supercharged V8 producing roughly 650 bhp (659 PS/485 kW) and about 650 lb-ft (881 Nm) of torque. That output translates to roughly 0-60 mph in the mid-3-second range and consistent quarter-mile runs around the 11-second mark when driven well. These stats help explain why the ZL1 remains coveted among enthusiasts and collectors.
Condition, maintenance and extras
The listing notes only minor curb rash on the wheels as a blemish. Despite the low miles, the seller has kept the car maintained: oil and filter were changed last summer with the differential fluid also serviced, and the oil change was repeated in September 2025 ahead of the sale. The car is offered complete with the original window sticker, owner manuals, two keys, a trickle charger, and a commemorative watch — useful provenance for a limited-run model.
Market perspective Limited-edition muscle cars like the ZL1 Collector's Edition can appreciate quickly if kept in original, low-mile condition. The $82,000 high bid may look reasonable for a ZL1, but for a 1-of-350 Collector's Edition with documented history, some buyers and dealers will price it higher. If you want this example, contact the vendor via Cars&Bids and be prepared to account for collector premiums.
"Rarity, clean history and low miles are the triple crown for modern collectible cars," says a veteran collector. That sums up why this Camaro continues to attract interest even after the auction ended without a sale.
