By Dave Ashton

Engine: 6.2L, 426HP / 420TRQ
Transmission: 6 Speed Manual
Exterior Color: Crabon Flash Metallic
Mileage: 14,853

The Camaro turned 45 years old in 2012 and like any car anniversary a special edition package was produced. As per the ad., the package included –
‘Carbon Flash Metallic Exterior Color, Brilliant Red/Medium Charcoal Stripe Package, 20″ X 8″ Front and 20″ X 9″ Rear Deep Silver Painted Aluminum Wheels w 245/45/ZR20 Front and P275/40/ZR20 Rear Pirelli P Zero Tires, Black Convertible Top, Black Front Seats Leather Seating Surfaces w 45th Anniversary Embroidered Logo and Unique Stitching on Seats, Headrests, Steering Wheel and Shifter, RS Package, Unique Fog Lamps and Tail Lamps Bezel Finish, and Interior and Exterior Badging ($1,375) * Hurst Short Throw Shifter ($380)’
This example also benefits from being ‘VIN 00001’ and was also sold at Barrett-Jackson in Palm Beach on April 6, 2012 to benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, cementing its value at $150,000.00.
At the time the 2012 Camaro convertible had negatives like lack of visibility, a stiff clutch, but it had fantastic looks and a fine 426hp V8. Anniversary editions with low VIN numbers such as this one are in the investment category. In 2012 it sold for $150,000.00, quite impressive for a 2SS, but now the asking price has shot up to a quarter of a mill. As a comparison, the ad. also says ‘The First Production 2014 Corvette – Sold at Barrett-Jackson for $1,100,000 in Scottsdale on January 19, 2013, ‘ giving an idea of future potential worth for this one.
Getting into this area of the stratosphere with pricing is a hard one, it can be very subjective. It’s like new condition, quite low mileage, but clearly a heavy asking price. The original Factory MSRP was $43,685, but now it’s got all true rarity status and for those with deep pockets, you could make a sizeable profit if you kept the car for a few years.
