I CALL B.S. ! Anyone remeber this Ebay Camaro

[dannyuscg]

This 6000lb fiberglass bondo clunker was for sale in CA. about 6 months ago in primer. Trying to make a quick buck off a paint job. No matter how much you polish a turd you still have a turd.

[LateNight72]

Wow, that thing's fugly.

[jconde]

I hate when people tell the owner of a car whats wrong with there car,but that thing is retarded.That car is a bunch of no good!And what's worse is the guy's got bid's on the damn thing,someone wants that thing.AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Samckitt]

I just threw up a little.

[WEAVER]

That's just frickin stupid

[Scott Parkhurst]

[JEFFTATE]

Thats terrible.
Anyone who buys that car is in for a rude awakening.
Or they're just too stupid to be awakened.
"Oblivious " is the word I'm looking for.

[monza]

WTF... why would some one even build that? Only thing I can really think is 'maybe' for a shinny dirt track racer that got over worked ... but thats a stretch.

"Bid to win this beautiful car for your collection" :machine:

[Steve1968LS2]

But the ad says it's a vintage Trans Am car.. and the license plate says ULTIMAT!!!!!!

Why wouldn't someone want it!

lol

[class67]

I like it.................ok, not really

[qwk406]

AWWWW..... C'mon guys, be nice. Don't you see the custom door panels on this baby? Or that finely detailed 9"? How about that custom front spoiler? OH MAN....I suddenly feel ill!

[Vegas69]

The only problem I have with it is"It's never been raced"

[novaderrik]

The only problem I have with it is"It's never been raced"
you don't have a problem with it not having any sort of identification numbers on it at all?

[BritishGreen68]

Raced since new so no title, but it never been raced thats for sure, also we have no history on the car except for that "raced since new" thing, also theres no title and its a racecar, but its really a show car.. did we mention the racing? also it runs&drives probably, and its definitely not stolen we just... well..history? no..ya we dont have any at all, it was raced since new....ya ya thats it... also we painted floors with a brush, Bob likes yellow and red, like McDonalds.......???

[Vegas69]

you don't have a problem with it not having any sort of identification numbers on it at all?

I didn't say I would buy it. LOL

[derekf]

"quarters steel or aluminum"

One of the two. We can't tell.

What racing series used an automatic tranny 40 years ago?

[wicked68]

nice trick - this is why your magnet wont stick - its not bondo - its high quality aluminum - lol

[thetoystore]

any idea why there is a piece of tubing welded to the 9in? or that there is no shocks

[bretcopsey]

:barf:
I think that is the side exit exhaust. Can't say on the shocks...

They sure nailed the stance on that one, and I can see why the need for the huge flares with those 14's:bsjerk:

[jon72vega]

[MrQuick]

:bananna2:
oh sweet I got my bid in.

[BritishGreen68]

i actually like the blacked out rear bumper and tail lights.. wonder how that would look on a camaro thats not a piece of ****.

[MonzaRacer]

I threw up in my mouth a little.:barf:

[WILWAXU]

LMAO! and.. it's a automatic.

[moreHP]

Thats some sweet chassis work on that rearend!!!:injured:

[Boyd]

It says in the auction to "please contact me if you know anything about this car." Do you think i should call him? Cause I know that's one fugly car!

[Bryce]

the shocks must have fallen off while racing.

it even looks like the leaf spring plates are on the wrong side. what appears to be a shock mount is on the outside of the spring. interesting.

[ITLBTU]

I'm speachless....

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

yo.... was that the one someone was selling for 1500 bucks that was under a tarp!?

it was cream color?



YES it was!

that thing was a MESS..

heres the original thread..

I'm speechless... What would possess...? OMG! What a train wreck.

Oh. The shock is wearing off. I do have something to say...the guy who picked the colors wasn't color blind...he was just blind. I love the swiss-cheesed frame. I guess you don't care about flex when it hasn't been race, but it's an ex-racecar.

I'm suspicious that the current owner hoped the car would look like this when it was done:

Instead, it turned out like this...

:bsjerk:

Everybody and their brother try to say these old hack jobs are ex-racers. Without a "log book" and identifying numbers...these cars are worth almost NOTHING! This guy should not even mention it's an ex-racer until after the poor sucker picks up the car. A good friend got taken on a supposed ex-trans-am Camaro.

Just one man's opinion, but I don't see the difference between the two.

Just one man's opinion, but I don't see the difference between the two.

One's an astonishingly well-engineered, well-built, purebred race car...and the other...is swiss cheese and bondo?

What I see are two cars both in ugly colors with doofy wheel flares. Just my opinion.

What racing series used an automatic tranny 40 years ago?

As you are aware, the beginning in the early days of pony car racing, the SCCA lured a fresh crop of budding drivers from other events who would later become the leaders in SCCA racing. In 1966, SCCA initiated their automatic class in a feeble attempt to lure away potential future greats from the highly popular drag racing series. It was an experimental class that SCCA hoped to meld in with other classes once it was determined the automatics would be competitive with their manual cousins. Rules were similar to the manual cars. In addition, they had to of course run an automatic transmission, drag slicks on all four corners, and the stock fuel pump.

But the series was fraught with peril starting in 1967 when Smokey Yunick entered 2 vehicles. It turns out, Smokey had invented the first CVT transmission allowing him to dominate the first three official races. After being disqualified, Smokey returned with the first experimental paddle-shifted vehicles and was again quickly rebuked. Thus he pulled out from the series completely. This also prompted officials to mandate all vehicles must use pure mechanical means of shifting (whether through self-shifting or the driver physically moving the gear lever). The bold move now made the Chrysler push-button automatics favored by drag racers and known for their lightning quick shifting and roadtrack handling prowess, to also be banned.

At the beginning of the 1968 year for the series, cars were converted from the previous season by only changing the tail pan. Problems continued as the series now known as SCAAA was sued by the American Automobile Association who raised concerns the name of the series was infringement and might be misinterpreted as advocating racing by club members. The final straw came in mid-season by a horrendous two car crash. Two former drag racers, Tommy Noturns and Buddy Bracket were racing side-by-side on a straight away. Caught up in the action, they momentarily forgot there was a hairpin curve at the end, causing one of the most spectacular crashes in racing history, had anyone cared enough to be there to photograph the event.

This prompted SCCA to ban the series altogether, never to return again.

:razz:

Thanks folks, I'm here all week. Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waiter.

[ZuperZport]

Wow.......what a mess.

I was the one that saw the primered version of this car on eBay some months ago and said it had "potential"......I meant that in the lightest of terms.....

"Potential" to me meant a fully-murdered-out black primer job and some big wheels with a killer stance............spend no more than $100 on parts and labor and thrash the s out of it........not do what these guys did.....:hammer:

that Buick steering wheel will probaly be a deal sincher for those bidding on it!

[formula]

Ah, I see now.

then the only difference you should be worried about is that one's a z28! :)

My sister thinks it may also be a bouncy castle in disguise.

And since this thread has semi-imploded, I now post a series of gulf livery shots, purely in order to remind us why it is one of the coolest paint schemes ever.

Personal favorite of the group right there.

Definitely right about the Gulf Livery being one of the coolest and classic paint schemes of all time. I remember having Matchbook cars and slot cars in the Gulf livery. Always loved 'em. I also like the Flying Lizards livery but that one is still relatively new.
