Anyone see this baby at State Fair Texas?

 

Could find scant info from the guy "in charge". He really did not know much about this car except that the rear end was all custom. This car had HANDS DOWN the best tailight mod I've ever seen. BUT, I dd not have a stinking camera and could not find one to buy to take a pic of it. If anyone has a pic of this car from the back PLEASE post.

 

That paint :hail:

 

I love that color.

 

I love the color too. I wonder if its the same GM color they use on the burnt orange (??) trans ams.

 

That car is cool looking. Here is pic of the taillights that I have saved. I think it looks great.

I saw that car in person at the My Classic Car show held in Downtown Evansville, Indiana. I stared at that puppy forever.

Pretty sweet car.

yes i tried not to drool all over the fender. Metalliccamaro....I can't get that link to show anything.

 

Love the color. I had problems with the picture as well, but try this:

 

Looks like the tail lights are from a Fiero GT or at least the idea is from that. Had Pontiac in the middle and lit up at night and the sides kinda looked like that. See if I can find a pic....

 

 

Those taillights look like a chickenbutt sorry had to but it does look like he too the back panels from a bird and fabricated em on w/ some custom tails

 

oooooh yeah thats the one:hail:

I looked that light over and over when I was at the show. The corners of the tailights (as you can see) are gone. I dig it alot. When I looked closer...into the assembly, I saw that the original light assemblies were gone and were replaced with unidentifiable reflectors. I've also never seen a camaro with that lowered license plate molding, much less anything like that one piece looking spoiler-rear quarter panel job. What a nice piece of work!!!

 

They do look like Fiero lights at first I thought they looked like Beretta lights but then I went and found a picture of a Beretta and they're different.

 

The rear looks like crap with the wing and all, but the rest of the car looks great. It was at Carlisle last summer.

 

Look kewl to mee.


I think it is definately a nice custom job.

 

I would like to do a paint job like that only with super deep purple and dark blue underneath.

That car looks great, I love it.

 

Those wheels are UGLY and a little less height on the wing. Other than that, I love it.

 

lol, those are extremely ugly wheels!:lala:

 

the paint is the best part i think, still kinda looks like an iroc-z

 

Thanks man, I appreciate it. fbody.com was good to host, but now they suck. No more hotlinking and now they put a size limit on pics

 

Here is another picture

 

One more

 

I guess they made it so just the hatch glass lifts up?

 

And it looks like they did use the panel from a firebird.

 

That thirdgen was at the Michigan GM Gathering at Mid-Michigan Motorplex this year. Pretty interesting thirdgen. They didn't race it though or pop the hood. They raced their B4C police car and their Camaro SS 302

 

Here's some more pics from Camaro Superfest '02 in Ann Arbor, Mi

The color is close too the color of my car, just seems to have a slightly brighter orange...

it's just a candy orange using the same properties as any other candy color....i have a few pics of it as well with my car. i love the color...but that's about it. at superfest before they packed up they opened it up; very interesting!!

 

On the far right is the 302 SS. It was pretty bad ***.

 

the color is great, im not so crazy about the rear end. and it deffinetly needs a better hood. but you gotta say, its a beauty.

 

Ya know,I wouldn't doubt it if the car was actually a T/A with a Camaro front end.Also having the Camaro interior and the tailight panels with the corners cut off,and just grafted the wing on..

 

Yup.

I like how they moved the license plate down on the rear end.

 

I would hope you're right about it being a T/A!!! Imagine taking a nice camaro and cutting and welding compared to just bolt ons. It's gotta be a T/A, next person that see's it needs to right down the vin number.

 

Thats not gonna be till next Oct. 5th for me.

 

Did firebirds and T/A's come with the door trim like on camaros? (this car doesn't have door trim)

 

It's a popular idea to remove the door trim because it looks like crap after a while. Not only does it get waivy, it starts to collect dirt. When you get your car painted have them remove the door trim, it'll look a lot better. Unfortunatly you'll need to park as far away from people as possible but that's something that I already do for obvious reason.

 

i'd replace them with new ones...........i don't know how many times it has saved my paint wether it was some careless jerk at a show, parking lot, etc. or someone who rode with you and doesn't now what there doing...

all it takes is one "oh man i'm sorry" then what......... you make the decision.

 

I never got to see the front or sides of that Camaro. I love that Camaro. Wow. That is exactly how I envision my Camaro would look like if I owned one.


I love the clear headlight covers.
I love the blood orange paint.
I love the custom body work.
I love the 17 inch wheels.
I love the taillights.



If only I could see the engine bay and interior. I love the look of that car so much.:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

I saw that car a few weeks ago in Evansville, IN for the My Classic Car autofest.

Its an IROC not a Trans Am. The plaque by the car said it was a test mule for the GM team. The car came to a Mr. Jordan I believe and he didn't want to scrap it. So he used it to test a paint color...ie...the one you see on the car. It went on to say that the rear was modified just for the heck of it and the interior was redone in genuine Italian leather.

It didn't go into detail on how the rear was made. It also said that the car was delivered to him with the transmission in the back seat.

It was pretty much used and abused and he restored it and daily drove it for a while.

Pretty interesting story.....but yep it is a genuine IROC.

hmmpf...well what do ya know..I just commented that because of the T/A rear 1/4panels,tail light surroundings,bumper cover and side marker lights and thought that it was a T/A with a Camaro front end. Thanks for the explanation on the car.

 

Give me that car. I want it.
:hail:

 

i saw that bad boy at the fair along with the other camaros they had. not very many (4, 1 for every gen) but they were pretty cool. its too bad that camaro was just a 305. its an '87 if anyone was wondering.

hey, did anyone notice the fences along the edges of the hood? coulda done without those.

 

Hey guys I saw that car about a year or two ago at the dream cruise in michagan, I too stared at her forever. If I remember correctly it had a info sheet buy it and it was a concept car straight from gm.They were testing aerodynamics thats why it has the wing and the clear headlight covers and everything.Also it is the same sunset orange that they use on the new ws6's

 

It was an original IROC from the factory and it was modified by Mr. Jordan

 

uhhhh.. whos mr jordan?

 

I have no idea who he is. My wild guess would be he's a GM rep or something. He purchased the mule from GM and did some custom work to it as a test car. Tested paint and the body work. Thats all I know from what I read on the plaque next to the car. It didn't go into too much detail.

 

You only need to look at the B-pilars to determine a Camaro body from a Firebird body. The body line at top edge of the door (where it curves into the exterior window seal) continues straight through the quarter panel on a Firebird. On a Camaro, this body line takes a 90 degree turn upward at the leading edge of the B-pilar.

 

geese i love that color, not to fond fo those rims, but i love those tail lights, but i think the front would look better with like a SS hood or something.

 

i dont like it.
