I thought I'd seen it all

Check out this custom Camaro on ebay. OMG. What were they smoking when they came up with this concept?

Re: I thought I'd seen it all

It may have worked if they would have lengthened it and finished it instead of using the camaro rear. I agree that thing sucks.

Re: I thought I'd seen it all

that thing is crazy but I think if they would have done a better job with the rear it would have worked the front doesnt look to bad. The rear looks like they lost interest and quit working on it.

Re: I thought I'd seen it all

"Wow, you have to be kidding!" is right! I could see someone start making one of those, decide not to finish it and go on to something else, but these guys made a KIT! And they put it on more than one car!!

Re: I thought I'd seen it all

I always wanted a stubby `57 Belair!!The body lines look so much better all hacked off and jumbled together so it can fit on a Camaro footprint.What were they thinking in the`50s with all those long flowing designs?I always wanted a`57 and a Camaro convertible.Now I can have both!!!

Hamburgers and fries are great together.But,I don`t throw them in a blender to eat together.

A`94 Camaro convertible will be worth more than that pile of `glas.

Any self-serving car nut would know to make it look more correct than the lackabrains did with this "abortion". What started out (conceptually) as a "good" idea quickly deteriorated into a pilacrap. What a waste of manpower and materials. Oh,yeah....money, too.

I thought the did a great job until they got to the rear of the car. I agree it looks as though they lost interest or money and didn't finish.

Re: I thought I'd seen it all

No, No, that just won't do! It's all wrong I tell ya'. The boxy profile of the
'57-ish hood and grill, shoehorned onto the sleek, raked back lines of the GenIV F-body is simply unnatural looking.
Honestly I don't see what they were trying to acheive. A guy can pretty much build a brand new '57 chevy with repop parts. If he wanted to he could even put all the drivetrain and suspension parts of the F-body underneath said '57 chevy. In the end he would have a kick-ass car that very much looked like a '57 chevy not some bastardized, frankenstein-ish pile of suck like these reknobs have come up with.

Gimme a break- I'd rather have holes in my eyes than have to look at that picture again.

I feel sorry for the owner of the first one...
