One and only 2012 Camaro ZL1 in Carbon Flash Metallic
Today, at the Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction in Las Vegas, NV, a very unique 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was was sold at auction (lot number 674.3). Rick Hendrick had the high bid of $250,000!
This particular model is the only 2012 Camaro ZL1 in Carbon Flash Metallic. It will also feature a VIN that honors the original ZL1’s – a VIN ending in 00069. Only 69 of those first ZL1’s were produced in the 1969 model year. All proceeds from the auction’s sale will benefit the YMCA of Southern Nevada.
The Barrett-Jackson Auction began on Thursday, September 22, 2011. As has been the tradition the last couple of years, the auction was covered live in primetime on the East Coast by SPEED TV. Since the ZL1 auction will be a centerpiece at this year’s Las Vegas auction, a new :30 second ad featuring the ZL1 will debut during SPEED’s three days coverage of the auction.
The point of the ad is to drive consumers to Chevy.com/CamaroZL1. Once consumers arrive at the site, they will be able to view short films on two different development aspects of the new ZL1. These two new short films will be available on the website sometime during the afternoon of Thursday, September 22, 2011.
Look for further announcements and videos on the Camaro ZL1 in the coming weeks.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.

He even offered a $250,000 reward for the car's safe return. To everyone's surprise (especially Schnatter's), the beloved Camaro was found in Flatwoods, Ky. in August.

Papa John's is also donating 5,000 mini Camaros directly to Toys for Tots – a retail value of $25,000, and $50,000 in redeemable free pizzas. In total, Papa John's will contribute more than $155,000 to the 2009 Toys for Tots campaign.
"You could say that Christmas came early this year for John, which is why we're especially pleased to share his joy with kids around the country who love Papa John's pizza," said Jude Thompson, Papa John's president and chief operating officer. "Papa John's is proud to partner and be associated with Toys for Tots, renowned for touching millions of young lives year after year."
"Papa John has a great story that's not only fun, but also provides hope and inspiration to less fortunate children," said Maj.

HURST 2010 Camaro on ebay for charity
The Hurst Camaro that will be displayed at the SEMA Show is expected to be the first of the modified Camaros to be offered, but for now there is only one Hurst Camaro and last Friday, that One-of-a-kind muscle car went up for auction on eBay.com. The proceeds of the auction will go to support SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund, and along with owning a unique piece of automotive history, the winner of the 2010 Hurst Camaro will also win a lavish vacation package to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas!
The bidding opened on Friday, with an amazingly low starting price of just $10,000, and while it took a while for the bidding to start, the price rocketed up quickly. We are past the halfway point in the bidding, which is set to run from the 16th to the 23rd, and with 19 bids (as of 5:30 pm est) the leading bid stands at $42,600. I expect the price of the 2010 Hurst Camaro to continue to rise as the current bidding price is only a few thousand dollars more than a “normal” 2010 Camaro 2SS-RS, and with the long list of modifications inside and outside this instant collectible is likely to draw big money for the charity.
