looks like an excaliber rip off kit car. Neat lookin, low mileage too! I would definately change the interior, and I'm curious to know what the trunk looks like...

First off, why the hell couldn't the guy get a whole Camara shot of the whole car?
Aside from the "low" miles even the description is wrong. Its a FIREBIRD, not Camaro. see the dash/gauges?

the one cool thing about that is , could you imagine the looks on peoples faces if you were doin a burnout with that thing. It would be funny as hell to see it do a burnout. But other than that it doesnt looks that good bc of the door and the piller are stock .

[edit] I looked at some pics on readers rides and sure enough, it looks like maybe there is a difference. [edit]

The sail panels are indeed very different. Line up a firebird and a camaro side by side and it will jump out and shake your hand. 
The firebird tail is about 2" wider overall than a camaro tail width, and this starts right at the sail panel thus there is a very pronounced body line on the bird sail panel. HTH!

Oh, man, that thing is awesome! It combines the smooth style of a 40s Rolls Royce with the (I presume) muscle of a 3rdgen. I love it! :hail: :hail: :hail:
On a side note, I can't believe people actually list cars without any sort of description whatsoever. If I'm selling one of my cars I write up a glowing, but truthful and extremely detailed overview of the car. I run down all the pertinent facts....because I know I wouldn't buy a car online without knowing every single detail.
I guess he figures he can't go wrong with his "Here's my neat car. Want it?" eBay ad.

I think someone has posted something similar before. I believe there was another ebay auction with a similar car that had a link to another site with more info. I've seen a webpage on those kits it is a third gen.
i hate it , kinda , WTF, i dunno what anyone was thinking there, or was someone thinking?.... at anyrate, some one put time and money in to it for that i gave them a thumbs up, but why the hell did you pick a thirdgen of all cars?

Hey there's a guy here in town who has one of those. I puke every time I see it. His is actually built on a Z28, but still......dammmmmmmn.
He's a really nice guy so it's hard to imagine why he could do such a horrific thing to a Camaro.
BTW he also has a Porsche 911 that has a blown and nitroused 383 sticking through the hood, so he can't be all bad!
