GM officials seemed very proud of the Chevy Camaro Z/28, of which they’ll be making 2,500 examples in total, when it was revealed last year, but they still couldn’t escape the fact that it was a high-performance Camaro that could be, if not reproduced, at least loosely mimicked by fitting a regular V8 with certain parts.
However, we now learn that, like Ferrari, GM is looking at aggressively preserving exclusivity. What they’ve done is limit the availability of 35 key components that make the Z/28 what it is, specifically in order to make it very hard to replicate.
The interest is obviously to keep the value of the original Z/28s up, and smooth their way to hopefully becoming future classics.
If you’re interested, the source article from GM Authority holds the complete list of taboo parts, which you can also see below.
