Re: 82 Contempo Camaro???

He is wrong, unless he bought the kit later and installed it himself?

"Starting in early months of 1984, Contempo Vans of North Hollywood, California., began offering a custom-bodied Camaro. Major modifications included a fiberglass decklid with louvered wings, wheel flares, rocker extensions, 16-inch alloy wheels with high performance tires, plus a choice of paint schemes. Customers could order the components separately or as a Do It Your Self package. Another option for the customer would be fore the factory to do the work for them."

That guy is smoking his lunch if he thinks he'll get 20K for that thing. That fiberglass hatch is pretty ugly.

I actually like the wheel flares, but I'm kinda awful.
