never in my life have I seen anything even remotely similar to that contraption! I would love to see it in action though! Is there anything I thirdgen can't do? or can't be turned into? you never see this stuff with a vette!

Edit: I think it would look really cool with The Munsters piled in the back.

if you look at it, it seems that it was probably in pretty rough shape...definitely something to do to those old fbodies that are too rusted out to have any hope left of being a real car.

Maybe they wanted to be fair since it's been done to a mustang already....

I searched for a tri-wheel Camaro, but couldn't find one. I did find a tri-wheel Grand Am and many VW's. I guess we'll just have to wait for someone with a torch, welding machine, and some pabst blue ribbon to create a tri-wheel Camaro.

Anyone want to PhotoShop it for us?

PBR is about as cool as a priest talking to a 8 year old boy.

Maybe if I think hard enough I'll find an easy way to photoshop that...
