Build #1

This is Build #0001 2000 Camaro with a 6 speed manual transmission. It is Black with tan interior. This car has QTP headers and off road y-pipe with SLP Dual Dual catback, QTP Electric cutout, LS6 intake manifold, Stage II Tick Performance T-56 and Tick Performance clutch master cylinder with and LS7 Clutch ( less than 2K on), BMR boxed subframe connectors. I have owned this car since it had 12K on it and I have all of the factory parts that go with the car. The top has some of those bubbles starting, and the Hood and Spoiler paint quality is not what the rest of the car is thanks to SLP. It still has amazing paint other than that. Just looking for feed back. I have posted it on craigslist but I want to make sure im close. I havent seen another #0001 car 96-02 on here.

with not perfect paint and mods I'd say 10k.

11-13k mileage is good and paint.. Since paint not perfect i say 10,500 Your car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I have to be honest and say that I don't think your car will have much of an additional 'premium' over a regular low mileage 2000 SS. Maybe someone would love that car being #1 but would they pay an extra $1,000 or $2,000 for that?? Usually higher 'premiums' are paid for such cars with ultra low mileage, like under 10,000 miles. The mods do not help either but you said you could put the car back to stock if needed. Definitely try get top $$ but if no contacts or calls, then obviously the demand is not there and you can lower the price accordingly. GLWS!!

Thanks for the feedback, I was thinking I needed at the least 12,500. So now I just dont know. If someone wanted it back stock, it is a California Emissions car but that probably means nothing.

dude. call barret jackson. wouldnt #1 be worth a shitton in a few years?

Build #1

Thats what I had thought, there isn't another #1 car on the Super Sport threads. Even the Fbodfather looked my VIN up back in 2006. I just cant keep it and my other car anymore, my family cant really use this car like the other. This is pretty hard to do, I have had the car for several years.

Build #1, your thinking is quite correct but not right now, not with that mileage. 10-15 years from now that 37,000 miles will seem really low and a 'premium' would most likely be paid for it being #1 off the line. Finding a buyer now to give you big $$ just is unrealistic unless you can find a buyer that collects these #1 cars and puts them away. It could happen. You will never know unless you try. STOCK is also key here. Many collectors stop reading the ad once it says 'mods'.

Build #1

I totally agree NC01TA, I wish that I didnt even have to sell it. I will be sick for a very long time after it is gone. I have had a Camaro in my possesion since I was 15 and I am 31 now, it just makes me sick.........and for the record...lol....its car number 18 off the line but SS 0001 of the year. Haha

NC01TA

I'm sorry you have to sell it. It is a tough ordeal but finances seem to rule the day. I just went through your feelings when I had to sell my '95 911 recently. Maintenance and upkeep just became too much of a financial burden and worry. Just could't enjoy the ride anymore. Best of luck to you and I hope you find that one certain buyer.

Build #1

Thats exactly my case. Upkeep and worry. My 5th gear had a problem so I had to spend on the trans, its just to expensive anymore for what I wanted to do.

SLP#0001

Not sure if you are still on this site but I have your old car. It has almost 50,000 miles on it now and almost every bolt on that you can do to one. It made 422hp at the rear wheels heat soaked on a 90+ degree humid day.

NC01TA

^^^ That's really cool! You are just 50 minutes from me here in Franklin. Hard to believe that the car was only driven 13,000 miles in 8+ years. Do you have any info on why it was driven so little? Like maybe a collector had it??

SLP#0001

Ive had the car a little over 4 years now. I bought it from a lady in Murphy NC. Her ex-husband had bought it a couple years back and she got it in the separation. It had been setting outside for a long time and had started going downhill. She wanted someone to get it that would fix it back and take care of it. I've had almost the entire car apart with exception of the bottom end of the motor. When I bought the car it had a little over 46,000 mi on it.

I know this is an old post but....
First car off the line for the most part only seems to add value if it's the first year of a body style not the 2nd 3rd 4th and so on and it has to be a desirable car. Low mileage/condition/options are usually the key to resale value. 37k is low miles but not in terms of collectability, Those cars are usually under 10k and like new condition. My son works for a dealer and he has people that are buying certain cars (C8's for example) and they aren't happy that the cars roll of the transporter with 10-12 miles on them, They want them with 1-2 miles and that's not possible.

I agree with the above regarding sequence number value and collectibility status, but my experience has been a bit different regarding mileage on brand new cars. I bought my 2000 Trans Am WS6 (#7155) brand new on July 11th, 2000. I did not custom order this car, it was bought right off the lot so nobody was instructed to pay any special attention to minimizing mileage prior to me taking delivery. The car had 3 miles on the odometer when I first sat in the driver's seat (I then did a 4 mile test drive), and that obviously includes whatever additional movement was necessary at the ASC conversion plant (so a non-WS6 car could theoretically have had even less mileage since it didn't have that additional stop at ASC). I agree that "0" miles is probably impossible, but I can personally attest to a number as low as 3 being a reality.

My son was told that some models are test driven before shipment by Chevrolet.

Thanks for the reply. Very interesting. Good job rescuing it. I may see you riding around some day. Happy New Year!!
