OMG

And he states it's a roadster, which it's not. I suppose that's the least of his concerns with that thing. 20k?

We should take up a collection and purchase the Camaro so it can be saved.

Travesty. I would certainly contribute to bring it back.

I was almost ok, and then I moved my thumb off the screen of my iPhone where I could see the front....think I may be sick.

look at the positive points. I bet the weight bias front to rear is better and just think how wide a front tire you could get on that thing with no cutting.

I have never seen a Camaro done up in that style of custom.
I hope it's the last one I see.

The sad part is he actually put a lot of work into it and that is what he ended up with.

It's a shame that someone would build a car like that without white wall tires. what was he thinking.

Brain.....you can always find positive in everything. I was kinda thinking putting a cage in it, a number on the door and make it a round track car. Dirt no-less.

I will save the car if we can get the $$$ rounded up, fix the pore thing and then we can raffle it off and give the profits to charities.

What do you guys think?.

As bad as that car looks, the up side is that it appears the front clip could be re-installed without too much work. If I were to purchase that car I would take my tool box along with me when I took delivery and remove everything from the firewall forward before I ever loaded the car up to haul it home.

oh man, you guys really made me laugh with the comments, my cheeks are in pain :) I knew when I seen that hideous thing you guys would get a kick out of it , I think if he were to ask for one of my columns I might just pass since the car is so butt ugly, I am with jdman, I don't think I would even haul it home on a open trailer looking like that, would have to strip most off and leave it with him ! ,,,,,,,,, so what do you think the grille is from a john deere or an old oliver tractor ?

Did anyone notice that it is listed as a 3 speed manual?

OMG, what a waste of time. Definitely would be the only one like it at any show... Maybe trying to make a name for himself for thinking out of the box? Maybe a ***** box... lol

Sorry, I don't usually bust on someone, but I feel terrible for that poor car and a little for the builder. He obviously spent a lot of time and fabrication on that. I just don't know what to say. Now, where's that alligator...?

I should save those images before the listing disappears to remind myself "those" people exist.

I'm with theJDMan! Buy it for cheap, take of the ugly front end and trailer it home, put a new front end on it and you got yourself a decent camaro.

Thought this might be another everyone's being a little harsh thread, then I looked at it.

I will be positive though. A front clip for the car & the custom nose can find a good home on a lawn tractor. Then all will be better in the world.

I'd have to check my local ordinances, but I think that's against the law where I'm from.

I love the alligator comment though. I'll find a way to work that into a conversation with a co-worker today.

I'm using a regular PC, most websites make their mobil browser version unfriendly with pics.
And yes, the more pics, the more pain.
I wish I could get a decent close-up of that hideous hood ornament...

Go figure... I found the hood ornament in several trucker websites.

Who built it? A Ford guy drinkin' too much PBR said to his buddy, "Watch this!" A couple of hangovers later... Ta-da! We gots ourselves a roadster! That'll fix them Shevvy guys! We kilt ourselves a Camaro! At least, that's the way I heard it.
I'm not even a Chevy guy and that makes my eyes hurt, somebody please save that poor car!

I didn't even notice the hood ornament until you guys brought it up.
yea, $60 for that thing. Looks like a nekkid female version of the Oscar Award.
That's hideous.

after looking at it a few more times (which is hard to do without getting sick) it looks like there is a pretty nice subframe under the front with rack and pinion and tubular control arms, looks like if you could maybe get this for around 9500 or so you would have room to strip the crap off the front, the disgusting side pipes and horrible wheels and make a decent car out of with some new sheet metal some forgelines and a little work, but at 20k it will never sell, nice ones are tough to sell at 20k these days much less one this ugly :(
