When I was still racing,I had about a month of off time due to a convertor that Hugh's spent it's sweet time rebuilding,and I heard from a friend of a friend about a 74 Firebird 4x4,ended up buying it for $300,bolting my tires/wheels on it,and the carb from my regular racer.
I ran the snot out of that POS,until the trans puked,which was about when I got everything to put my truck back togethor.I stayed in the points that way,and ended up parting out that brain fart for about 4 times what I spent on it.It was a real crowd pleaser,too.I wish I had a scanner,I know I've got some old pictures of that clusterf*ck.

Damm! What a waste of time money and effort. This guy has way to much time on his hands. Did you notice there was no talk of it running or ever having moved under it's own power. So at best your buying a bunch of parts.
Still I'm sure someone will want and see it as a diamond in the ruff.

Did anyone notice the Bernny dash, I wonder if it was a star wars package at one time. If i was to do a 4x4 camaro i do it better than that, and on a very basic camaro. Some of those Bernny parts get up there in price.

But like others said not my cup of tea.

Anyone notice he spelt camaro wrong, he even has the pictures to look at with Camaro on the fenders and the dash and still spells it wrong.

Around here somebody has a stretched cadillac limosine on a stretched truck frame, jacked up a mile. I like it.

I'd never mess up a nice Camaro like that, but honestly, if I had another winter-ravished car and a blazer with a trashed body & good frame... yeah, I could see myself doing that.

It looks all fugged up >

but would be a cool idea to make the car an allwheel drive like some of the new inports. but to look as if nothing had ever been done to it.

think of instead of burning the reartires on takeoff you could burn all 4. with a 355 cid with around 450hp at the wheels.

Yes, bright red, and running on tractor tires... kinda cool, in a "WTF I'd never do that myself, but since he did.." kinda way
The chick driving it got it about 5 feet off the ground at around 40, and almost flipped it.

I was thinkin about doing this to a '79 'stang once on an '86 Bronco II chassis, but I figured the $$$ would be better spent on an autocross camaro

Re: take a look at this fab job someone found

However there is also a guy that lives someplace around here with a late 70's early 80's sometime Cadilac hearse... Massive lift... Has the pipes coming out the side with flame thrower exhaust on it...Coffin stuffed with subs.. Now that car i like.
