Studeabaker Front end. That is interesting. The back would look better with a notchback. At least it doesn't look plastic like the evolution body kits


Actually the more I look at the front end, it looks pretty good.

I have really seen it all now.... a 2nd gen firebird limo, a 2nd and 3rd gen stationwagon firebird, a camaro that was made into a rolls royce looking monstrocity, the Viper body kits, and now this! Is there anything that hasn't been done to these cars? lol. I kinda like them more as camaros and firebirds personally. I haven't seen a kit that makes a 3rd gen look like a 4th gen on the outside, but i'm sure i will at some point. If anything i'd go the other way and turn something like a Dodge Aries into an f-body look-alike. That would be classic :-)

The 4th gen look alike camaro has been done too. I think it was called the GTZ.

Check out the concepts in this thread:

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=164601

There are also people on here that were playing around in photoshop with the idea of putting on an LS1 TA bumper on their bird.

I think that would be Zepher....there was a post a few months back also with a guy that made a custom one off front bumper that had fourth gen Camaro styling cues, it was a red Camaro, looked interesting.....however this thirdgen is really interesting I don't know if I liked it or not

She said that it looked like it had the front of a old rolls royce, but the body was 100% third gen! Wow, i thought this was only a one off car. You dont live in Lakewood, NJ do you? What color was the car you saw? I went back to the dealership that was selling it, but no luck... hummm anyone have info on this kit? Im gunna have to check out the history board maybe... talk to willie.

wow... thats interesting...

a couple of years ago at the LA autoshow aftermarket section, there was some company that converted ls1 fourth gens into cars that looked like those avanti's from the 60's.... seeing this reminded me of that

here is a pic.. if you notice the a pillars,then you will know that there is a fourth gen under there

Well they made new studebaker Avanti's using the 4thgen platform so I think that was just an attempt on a thirdgen. Its the most interesting one I have seen. The body work is great. I actually like it now.
