[speechless] - Well the only thing I think looks half decent on it is the big scoop looking thing that starts on the door and goes back to a hole/scoop in the rear quarter. Weird weird stuff...

I kinda like it.

It has a retro '70s Ferrari feel. If the nose matched the rest of the car, I think it would look great.

If I didnt already have a project car I'd buy it.

Now just add Magnum's head sticking through the T tops.

That project just needs tight short-shorts and boat shoes...

exactly...

the first pic i clicked on was the rear... it really didnt look that bad..

then i saw the front and side..... you need to redo the fender and doorlines..... bad.

while i dont expect most of you to understand the kit car world, theres nothing wrong with making a car look cooler in your own personal opinion.... just expect some comments since everyones a critic...

It woulda been better if they did a firebird instead of a camaro. That coulda helped it look more ferrari-esque.

Somebody please shoot the poor car and put it out of it's misery!

The description says that the driver's side door will not open due to collision. That probably occured when the car attempted suicide.

Not even a good parts car anymore. Kill it and Crush it.

yeah that's ***-aweful. i think it's pretty damn funny though that like 95% of those kit-type camaros have 2.8's under the hood....they try to make them look more agressive and fast, yet they're packing like 110 hp under the hood

Pretty dumb car. With 190K on the dial, time for the crusher.

$107 is more than I would pay for it.

I know what to do!

I think I have come up with the perfect solution for the fate of these cars.

Perhaps some reef building association would purchase them, scrub them all all pollutants and dump them offshore in a reef building project. The cars would make a great fish habitat.

Well, maybe not. The fish would probably become ill or diseased from extended contact with these abominations, so the reef thing is probably not a good idea.

I changed my mind.
CRUSH THEM!

At least the white one sold for only $400. The blue one will NEVER sell with that $4000 minimum bid set. In the description it talks about how the car won audio competitions and they says that it doesn't come with the system. So... shouldn't the value of the vehicle go down significantly? lol. He'll have a hard time convincing anyone that the car is more than it really is (just another beaten non-running v6 POS headed for the junkyard).
