What kind of camaro could my uncle be talking about?

[Brady S]

He will say it was the fastest camaro ever made (stock) and they only made ten and they were all black and didnt look special from the out side. i think he is talking about the zl1 but if i am not mistaken they made 69 of those and they came in 3 or more colors

The COPO ZL-1 cars were the quickest production Camaro's ever built, but you are correct on the production of 69, and I believe that they were available in any '69 Camaro color code. They were definitely plain looking. Fred Gibb, the man responsible for the creation of the ZL-1, did only sell 13 of the original 50 cars delivered to his dealership in '68, but GM reallocated the remaining cars to other dealers and they were sold from 1969-on. A few of them languished in dealer showrooms for years after that. You have to remember that the sticker price on the ZL-1 was $7,200 in 1968, $1,800 more than a 427/435 Corvette.

Probably a Yenko but could be many different ones. Some specials were built for drag, some for road racing, some for street. What does he mean fastest and stock?
