RIP 80 Camaro :sad

I give 'em credit for creativity, and from the pics the body work looks good (could be pounds of bondo for all I know), but it ain't for me.

Kinda cool, kinda sad.

I will give him 600 bucks

This is what happens when theirs no one around to tell you that you have a VERY BAD Idea, and you build away

[subtlez28]

Honestly, I've actually wondered how a 2nd gen would look open wheeled (up front).

I don't hate it. It isn't really my (subtle) style, but I kinda like it.

Tons of tire clearance up front to run some 315s!

[subtlez28]

Think about it... All black (lose the flames), some nice wheels...

I would have went LSX/T56, but this could be a performer!

DSE rear mini-tubs and suspension...

It is probably light.

Wonder if he wants a 4th gen...

[ErikLS2]

Wonder if Mr. Trepanier got any build tips from this guy on the Power Tour.

[moreHP]

terrible.

[jfoster]

I....know... I've see that before... hmmmm.

Oh wait.

[78 Type-LT]

I almost posted that, but didn't have tha heart to do it..

[DaviRotten]

LOL.. Its not that bad.. I wouldnt pay for it but if it was free I'd take it.. Its not a recent build and the style shows its age.. Honestly I see these "ebay horror stories" posted on here all the time and for what this board stands for and reps I would have thought it would be a little bit more open minded to the work involved in some of these dated customs that get posted to be slammed on ...

[Yoda4561]

I give him creativity points, I'm pretty opened minded about these sorts of things, and the work in general doesn't "look" like a trainwreck. Hard to tell sometimes with just pictures. He's gotta get some more krylon on that foam steering wheel though, some of the black is showing through.

His brother must live in the Northeast, I saw a gold 78 TA done the exact same way.

I actually have some concepts on the drawing board that are on a basic level, somewhat similar.....totally, totally different execution. The problem with that car is he started with an actual Camaro vs starting with a streetrod and flavoring it with some muscle car elements. The inverted cowl is just nuts and looks forced together. There's a point where it's just taken too far. That car goes lightyears beyond that point. I'm sure someone will love it though.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that nose advertized as a kit in the kit car magazines.

Good thing I'm allergic

[71RS/SS396]

There's actually a pretty cool story behind that car. I met this guy on the power tour (95 or 96) he owns a wrecking yard in Texas and he and his son built it to go on the power tour as their last hoorah before his son went in the military. I was standing in the hotel parking lot in Grand Junction,Co. when it came in on a wrecker. I had to go look because of the oddity of it and started talking to the guy and he said it was running really bad in Okla. so he had it flatbedded to Co. in hopes of getting it repaired. I felt sorry for them looking at their long faces so I took a look at it and some local genius in their hometown that put the engine together cranked all the rocker arms down like it was a Ford non adjustable valvetrain so he had broken rockers and bent pushrods this thing hadn't gotten any oil to the valvetrain at all. We replaced all the broken and bent parts,adjusted the valves, changed the oil and hoped for the best.( There was still broken valvetrain parts in the oil pan) We finished about 1:00 am. It ran for about 1,000 miles before it spun a bearing,but he was happy to have been able to spend the time with his son and experience the power tour.

Yeah, a quick search of Z-Rod Camaro comes up with a Kit manufacturing company in TX that has since gone out of business.

OMG That is funny

[dadto2jays]

It takes a special person to own something like this I would paint it all black, change the wheels and drive the hell out of it, I would pay 2k-3k for it as is..
