looks like the swap was nice and clean. i agree that particular example doesn't look too great but I'd be curious to see how it would look like with an iroc/z28 nose on there.

I personally really like the look, It definatly needs a 91-92 Z28 nose on it, that will make a world of difference, maybe 91-92 GFX on the sides, but keep that bumper and tail lights, looks sweet.

Its not a 305 TBI, its a 305 TPI (91 Z28).

I think he shoulda left the original nose and front ground effect on and it would look pretty cool.

You mean turn in back into a Camaro? It was originally a 91Z, in case you forgot to take the time to read the description.

I agree, he sure did do a lot of work. At first I thought it was a Bird that he slapped a Camaro front end on. But I ran the VIN, and sure enough its a Camaro.

One thing that really scares me about it is he is selling it AS IS. That make's me wonder if something could be terribly wrong with the car, it could have been rearended and the frame/lack therof could be bent or something worse. That could have been why he would have put firebird quarters on her.
Oh I forgot to mention I'd call it a Firmaro

Wow. Craptacular is right. If someone asked you to identify that car, I'll bet noone would say 91 Z28. Probably the only 91 Z part on the car is the VIN tag.

If the car was originally a camaro maybe he "clipped" the car with a different rear on it. Instead of changing quarter and such maybe he took have of a firebird and spliced it with the original camaro front.

Ive seen several cars that have "split personalities" before.

Interesting. I agree with it needing a 91 camaro nose on it.
