    The 1LE that got away :(

    I don't know how I missed this thing going so cheap, but wow $10K?!?!?.....Sure it had the engine replaced, and has a few miles, but in 15-20yrs a car like this will steal the show at Barrett-Jackson!! In the meantime it'd be fun to drive and own!!

    Very Cool
    And at least the owners resisted removing the SOTL and putting a catback on the car.

      Interesting.

      I've been watching the 1LE cars for the last few years as some of them begin to approach the magic 25 year old age, and they really don't seem to bring the premium that I thought they would.

      Is it that just nobody knows what they are? Or are they just not as desirable as we think they are?

        I think a little bit of three things. The car is still new to be really desirable except to true FBody enthusiasts (I mean who else would want a modern car with absolutely no modern amenities? [no power windows, AC, etc])... but I think the whole 1LE thing is just not that known either.

          I'm going with people don't know what they are or that they even exist. And fewer realize that it wasn't just a Camaro option.

            The entire intent of the 1LE package was to go road racing (SCCA Showroom Stock and A-sedan to be specific), which is why so few of them were made, and why even fewer are in factory "unmolested" form. It may not have come with power windows/locks (you still got A/C some years), but it came with upgraded brakes, suspension, driveshaft, and a few other bits that can be year-specific.

              Yeah, I know what the 1LE package is meant to be but how many people own a 1LE for that reason.
