Eh... I can see bids. A new front bumper and a sawzall to cut off the sidepipes (that are likely totally fake anyway) would fix it right up. Oh and detach those fake side scoops from the fenders.
what a waste of money. he'll never get 15k from that, he'll get maybe 5 if that. seeing as how its gonna need a new front bumper and have those fake sidepipes removed
ok it has side pipes and exhaust tips out the back? and the "Custom phantom front end" consist of a hole cut in the bumber cover with another grill slapped in! this guy should be shot. other then those two things the car would be nice
well the car it self is worth some $$ prob why people are biding, maby you could get it cheap cuz it looks like **** and just bring it back to stock for less then it would cost for a camaro conv Z
here is the pic so when people look at this in a few months it will makes sence i wish members would put pic when they refer to e bay, theres been so many time i would read up on old post and there is no pic to go with it.
Wholly shitt...I have seen everything now. Usually my motto is 'to each his own', but in this occasion, this is just ludicrous. Some people should never own cars.
What yall don’t realize is that is the one and only 1989 gopher tooth Z28. Only one was ever made. So it is a very rare collectable. GM secretly had a plant in Afghanistan build it for Osama. But we were able to rescue it once our troops arrived. So ya better bid now, you won’t hopefully ever see one like it anywhere. I would have thought someone here would have caught that.

i'd say nice car over all depending on the reserve it might be a good deal, swap out the front end, chop the side pipes, car deff. looks nice from a side view. but for over 18k invested that sure it a crappy sound system, i can toss a better sound system on my car from stuff laying in my closet
it's fixable, take that hood, throw it off a bridge along with the front bumper cover and fix the exhaust and it would be kinda nice.. not a fan of the fender vents or the wood grain either but..
Seriously though guys... I have seem some pretty bad shitt, but this takes the prize for the worst 'taste' in my book. This is the poster child of our 'gang bangin' youth today....all about bad taste. Showing off, and thinking your car is bad asss, but the truth is that the joke is on you.
There are some punks in our area that drive those 'donks' and other such stupid asss cars and they think they are driving a Ferrari or something.
Oh GEEZ .... this things like a bad accident on the highway I just had to come back and look again!
Completely restored he says, must be talking about the alternator ... maybe should have spent a few more seconds restoring the front air dam. Side and rear exhaust ... with exhaust misspelled. I wonder how that works? Nice install on the amps and related wiring. And the color coordinated seatbelts!
Oh gosh I really hope nobody died in this accident!
oh wow...
I must agree that thing is pretty ugly.
I guess this is another proven fact people can do anything to camaros.
he won't get very much for this... ghetto getter.
"Stop walkin round talkin sh!t talkin bout how I got it cause it looks just like a Phantom. No. It looks like a Chevy Camaro. Da ****? The ****ed up part is it do look like a Phantom, until a Phantom pull up. Then you just in that mutha****er, 'This is bullsh!t, I don't even wanna be on this street, I don't even wanna be here.'"
What the hell was that. I had to read it 3 different times to understand what you just said. Uneducated Americans, see whats happens, they go and build a Camaro like this one!

I'll take the steering wheel. And if the rims are 18"s, I'll take them.
I always wondered what sidepipes would look like on a thirdgen. Now I kinda know, but thats not how I invisioned them. I was thinking more viper style where you just see the opening, not the pipe itself.
not the worst custom ever though, didn't you guys see the thread about the "custom 83 convertable" 4 cyl car that someone hacked the roof off of? He even tried to say it was a rare factory car..
Maybe the rapper Ludacris would be interested in this rare find... This takes my statement about the Mustang/Camaro away from it... this is definatly a project from a mental institution body shop... I bet they won the beaten with the ugly stick award from all three divisons
Mentally Challenged Front Facsia - 1st place
Physically Ill Exhaust - 1st place
Brain deficentcy idea - 1st place
*note- 2nd place still goes to the mustang/camaro creator
I'm gonna have to burn this image out of my eyes with a soldering iron
kinda reminds me of something you would see parked in the projects... I bet the owner is wearing his pants at half staff too...
maybe his favorite rapper died...
I'd buy it for the right price, it's a perfectly repairable vert. All it needs is a new hood, front fascia, exhaust system, and 2 fenders. I'd also ditch the wood trim.
I'd buy it for $2,000. I bet I could get that $2,000 back from selling that God forsaken grill too.
If I could get that car for $2,000, I could make it into a $10,000 car for half the cost.
exactly my point, nothing too custom about it, it's just ugly. All the parts are simple bolt on parts, simply unbolt the uglyness, replace and you'd have a perfectly fine vert.
haha i will give him on originality but deff not something i would do. it does look like you could fix it up real easy. the iroc rims are alright a little big but they look good. i dont quite understand the side pipes, never been a fan of those unless they are on a jacked up 4x4...and that hood is aight...i have one on my car and i love the ram air...but you need an engine to handle that hood lol and there is no engine capable in that car.
that poor camaro, that car HAD a lot of potential, i agree take that big stupid looking grille off the front of it throw it in the woods cut those ugly side pipes off of it throw them in the trash or better yet sell that crap on ebay again and buy yourself a nice intercooler to put behind that big ol hole in the bumper. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOLOLOL
I don't think the 89 had those ground effects did they? Seems the vented front valance came out in 91. Those would have to be replaced to get it back to original, however, I like the newer look better and would probably leave it, but maybe add some chrome grill inserts in the valance vents.
Some Phantom owner is going to be pissed when he comes home and finds his grille missing. Seriously, the thing would look better with a barbeque grille in there. Call Ghetto Chip Foose that's responsible for this abortion and tell him he's been fired from life. I seriously hate to see these cars butchered, I endure so much crap about them being mollet rockets or single moms corvettes that I don't think I can handle this.
P.S. PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD SO I CAN ACT LIKE THIS WAS A BAD DREAM.
Hahaha..I have never heard that one! That is awesome! Are there any other funny names that are associated with the 3rd gens? No one has ever given me shitt about my car, but then again, it's not ghetto.
