I wouldn’t care if that car was an 86 L69 or L98, it’s an abomination and should be crushed

I mean, I wouldn't actually pay money for that, but if handed the keys, I'd drive it around for a couple days, take it through the Starbucks drive-thru, you know, see what happens.

Most of those are built on a VW bug chassis , at least that one has an 8 cylinder .
Still , ruined a third gen , has those phony "exhaust pipes" that do nothing , "uncool at any speed" ......

Re: Cool, Interesting, Meh, or Abomination?
At the end of the day, after you move on from your own personal tastes, you can still see quality, fit and finish, attention to detail. ...and when those things are present, even if you don't like the final product, there's a certain respect that is earned. Filthy engine bay, faded interior/carpet, woodgrain on the dash but not the console.....there's no effort here. No love. No attention to detail that I can see.

Only positive thing I can see other than paint quality is that its now a mid-engine Camaro.

That is just awful,they should or maybe they did this to one with a rusted out body.
This beside the topic,but that looks to be an 87' model not a 91',the v-belts,the emissions and quadrajet carb,the centerbolt valve covers and dash gauges.

If they did something with the interior besides leaving a faded 3rd gen style in there, like made a more retro style interior, it would be interesting. Nothing I would pay for, but interesting. Like Abubaca said, there was no real effort or creativity used, just swapping parts.

Re: Cool, Interesting, Meh, or Abomination?
In the late 80's I worked at a car dealership and they would send me to an auction house in Carlisle PA to retrieve cars they's purchased. At that auction house I seen several cars with this style of kit installed. They looked new with factory window stickers in place, white and on a Cougar chassis. My first thought was it looks like the car Cruelella Devil drove in 101 dalmatians. They are an interesting site to see but I don't care to own one.
I also recall seeing a couple 3rd gens with some kind of kit installed, one white and one red. They also had factory window stickers on them. The most distinguishing feature that sticks in my mind is a big V shaped spoiler on the trunk lid. In the day they looked a lot cooler than the 78 Camaro I drove at the time.
