Fuel Injected In The Valley: ZL1 Camaro Spotted Near Cal State Northridge

Today was not one where I felt like driving my Permobil power chair to the gym. But the bus was crowded, and that turned out to be one of my best saving graces in a long time.

Mostly because some of my greatest, collector car treasures have been found on the sidewalks, and our featured 5th-Gen is no exception. This super clean, ZL1 Camaro was spotted on the corner of Reseda and Dearborn Street, in Northridge, California.

I spotted the supercharged pony on my way home from CORE Centers, across the street from Cal State Northridge. The owner was no where to be found, but the car appears to have been purchased from Motor City in Bakersfield, California.

To the untrained eye, it's just a 5th-Gen Camaro. But for anyone who's ever studied their Camaro history, the "ZL1" option has been, since 1969, the nameplate's most radical entry into the pony performance market.
