Stolen-and-Recovered 2023 Camaro ZL1 Heads to Auction After Owner’s Health Scare

A 2023 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe with a brief theft history and a longer list of performance upgrades is now headed for a new owner after its seller experienced a major health event that prompted a change in lifestyle.

The seller says the car was stolen and recovered in August, but the situation was resolved the same day and did not result in long-term issues. The Camaro carries a clean title and shows the typical wear expected from regular use, including scratches on the hood, exterior paint chips, and wear on the driver’s seat. Those details, however, are not the reason it is being sold.

The owner purchased the ZL1 in October 2025 and added about 1,300 miles since then. The odometer now reads 26,200 miles. The car is located in Tyler, Texas, and is being offered through an online auction as the owner steps away from high-performance vehicles following a stroke.

Several aftermarket modifications are noted in the listing. These include Rohana 20-inch wheels, removed catalytic converters, a Borla exhaust system, new exhaust headers, a carbon fiber engine air intake, and an aftermarket fuel filler door. Factory equipment includes a head-up display, Bose premium sound system, illuminated door sills, heated and ventilated Recaro front seats with power adjustment, and leather and suede upholstery. The car is also equipped with a limited-slip differential and Magnetic Ride Control suspension.

Power comes from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, rated at 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque in stock form. While the modifications suggest increased output, no dyno figures are provided.

Recent maintenance includes an oil and filter change in February, glass repair and a four-wheel alignment in August, and a body control module reprogramming last month. The sale includes the factory exhaust headers, catalytic converters, owner’s manual, and two keys.

There is an outstanding loan on the vehicle, which will be paid off with the sale proceeds before the title is released.
