Why? I think it is kinda cool. I mean, fabricating that front end must have taken a bunch of work. I think it is inspired alot by the 1st and 2nd gen camaros. I really like the wheel-well extension things. Looks real 2nd gen!
The only thing I really dont like is the mustang-ish front end look. But really, this car was probably built when the new mustang was the only source of those retro-style headlights. If the new camaro was out yet, that would have helped.
I Like it. I wish the front end was more like an old camaro than a mustang, but it looks alright. I'm not big on ultra-custom cars, but this is one of the better ones I've seen.
canadian flag guys...haha creative...i suppose. I think we can officially say as opposed to all the other boards, thank god it's not a firebird :-D, haha
and with that front bumper, it makes for a great tail gate party, everyone can sit on the front bumper and bar b que, haha (sorry, there has to be a little bit of playful bashing with cross-breading american sports/muscle cars.)
Man...such close mindedness... The only part that is mustang is the headlights... And I think it looks more like a modernized monte carlo in the front than a mustang... Its ALOT better than other camaros out there that get cannibalized and what not. And it isnt rusting away or in the crusher. So I give it a thumb up.
Its got some 2nd gen in it, some custom-gen, some thirdgen... I dig it! He could have done some more filling/finishing on that tail panel. It would also look better with a cowl that starts further forward. That looks like one of those rivet on scoops... But otherwise I dig it.
Definetly different. Im curious about the power plant.

It would look so much better with a different front end, the bumper is uglier then the headlights. As far as drivetrain I believe its a kaiser roto-charged 350 that makes 1,500 plus hp.

ROFLMAO...maybe he should visit the power adder section and see if it can be done
I remember that car, I think it was on ebay a while ago.

I actually got picts of it today since I got my car back but you know what you'll have to find what site I just posted them on because I wont put them on here

PM askulte with the pics and he will open the thread again. Thats the only way anyone on here will believe you man, sorry.
looks kinda like a '75 and up nova with mustang lights, it wouldn't surprise me if those were malibu fenders. all in all you do have to give it up for the creativity and effort a task like that demanded.from looking at the pictures it APPEARS to be good work.
whats scary is that it could very well have a procharged 406 under the hood... or a 3.1.
Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is a Mustang front on a 1992 Camaro body. Sacreligious? Blasphemy? Painful to look at? Yes on all accounts. In full, this mis-match of parts include: Trans Am type fender flares, custom spoiler, corvette rear lights, mustang front end, chevy nova front bumper, custom hand made rear bumper, custom hood scoop and leather 4 point harness seats. The effort was there, but was it worth it?

Reason: Added interior pic
Did they take decent running Camaro and sodomize it? Or did they yank it out of a junkyard??? If the latter is the case, I can reluctantly accept that. . . better to be on the road than be in the crusher. . .
But now the car has to endure the rest of it life being called a Mustaro. . .
I think you are all a little to harsh on the car. I bet none of you who criticize the car could ever do what he did, something different is always cool beats driving something that a 100,000 other people have! ... He did a nice job on the car in my opinion and bet in a few years this guy will be working in a custom shop making more then the better majority of you. So I wouldn't be laughing at his work. Who knows what the car even looked like before doesn't look like any specialty type camaro so whats the big deal.
I like it other than the fact that he made the front end look like and ugly *** new mustang.

The louvres are pretty trashy too, they do look better on that car than they do on a regular third gen though..

Well, if it wasn't for the god awful wheels they did a fairly decent job of making a green and yellow camaro, if that's something you wanted...

I’m kind of with you on that, I mean you can question the aesthetic choices, like I actually think the worst part is that it’s missing details that would tie it together, for example, it needs some detail to the filler panel between the taillights, but the fact is that it looks like whoever did it did a pretty decent job of turning it into what they wanted…

As I read your post, I'm thinking what!??! Canadian flag, where?? I start scrolling up to find this flag thinking "There's no Canadian fl..... Oh.... Crap...." I proceed to hang my head in shame.
You know if this person found a junker and brought it back to life, then good for them, two thumbs up. But if this was a good car.... Lets just say it's probably an american who just wanted to frame us bar b que lovin Canadians. lol
that thing.. looks like a body shop project at a mental institution.
if it saved a f-body.. it saved a f-body...
but still...
its a freakin mustang front end... ehhh...
Wow. So with just the mustang front end, does the owner still have to have the normal "Im a mustang owning douchebag, and Im better than you" attitude? J/K.
As far as craftsmanship---A+ at least from what I can see.
oh dear. that poor car.
