saw this in a junk yard the other day. i thought the chop top would be cool just never saw one in real life . or even in pictures. the car would of been cool but the work was not the best . also the doors opened at the a piller forgot to take a pic with the doors up.

 

just if yall are wondering about the car next to it. it is a yellow 85 iroc with the tpi still on the car . also the rear has the alum. drums . they said it was a flood car. they also have 3 more camaros and a firebird all thirdgens.

 

Hehehe. Looks like an attempt at a race car. I don't know how some one is suppose to sit in that I'm 5'6" and my heads 6inches away from the roof, your already sittin on the floor, Imagine a 6 foot fella tryin to drive that.LOL. Besides that be tough as hell to see out of.

 

yea i am 6'1" and if i sit straight up my head touches but i lay the seat back a little and i am fine. you might have to lay back a little more but i think it would really catch eyes at showes. prob be the only chop top third gen anywhere.

 

No doubt, definitely catch some attention, alittle impractical for street or track use, but as a show car it would be cool.

 

at the yellow iroc

 

That car was ruined when they chopped the top.Plus the rest of that hideous bodywork.It would've turned heads.......for the wrong reasons.

The yellow car looks better & a rare color for thirdgens.I think it was a one year option!

 

I love all these junk yards and their infinite wisdom/storage systems. EVERY car has the hood ripped off, door and windows open, and everything exposed to the elements so that after the first day in there there is absolutely nothing left of any value on the car. There is more to a car than scrap metal value or why would they not just crush it right away and save time instead of letting it sit in the yard trashed for a year before they finally crush it. They could sell so many more parts if they would just keep the hoods on the car unless someone buys it, then pull the motor and keep it in a covered area. They love charging $300+ for core motors sitting in mud puddles. Imagine what they could do with engines that turn over that aren't plugged up with mud. Not to mention all the interior and electronic parts that could sell...may not be hundreds of dollars per part, but when everything but the body panels is junk on a car you definitely aren't going to waste time or money on anything...if the car is halfway stored/taken care of to keep water/elements off everything sensitive, maybe when you go to buy a fender air extractor or door panel or something, you may actually pick up some interior components or something too...dumb me right.

 

psh i love the concept of that chop top car, and i think if run over some numbers on the drawing board for more acurate looks it would look amasing. thats IMHO. to each thier own. as for the yellow iroc, thats like a crime against humanity.

 

i think the chopped up camaro was going to be an import look alike. all the bumpers being molded in, all the lines being rounded over, the head lights being rounded and the style of spoiler all lead me to believe it was going to look Asian. almost like a supra or prelude.

 

Even though I know in the back of my head you're telling the truth, I refuse to believe that this abomination is anything more than a Mitsubishi eclipse unless I inspect it in person.

The sick and twisted individual who is obviously a failure at auto work deserves to have all his teeth removed via 32 .357 rounds.

 

jeezus. why the hell would you do that much work to a camaro just to make it look like a supra. that is beyond disgusting.

 

Get you some 4th gen seats. They sit about 2" lower.

I'm 6'5" & 58mark is 6' 7" & we both fit in our 3rd gens just fine. He even has stock seats (i think)!

 

It almost looks like they were trying to make it into a late model dirt track car. I personally dont like the idea of chopping a 3rd gen, but if done correctly it could make a nice show car.

 

thats was my first impression too was a late model but looking at the headlights it kinda looked they wanted to make into a oversized sunfire wanna be

 

i saw an eclipse that looked just like that.... well... it was done much better... but... looked almost exactly the same... and the front end looks exactly like the bumper on my talon...

 

Nasty stuff there, IMHO the yellow IROC looks nice, as usual the front spoiler is gone already lol.

 

At first I thought it was this car:

lol that made me laugh, thts funny and i agree

 

LOL, thats Barrys U pull it. I live near there (well im in pa for school now), but yeah thats not far from biloxi. I looked at that piece of junk when I was looking for a nice shifter. I was like WTF! Its been there for a good while.

 

even as a Ford guy I shed a tear for that poor Camaro. Looked like a space ship conversion gone wrong.

 

I'm still not totally convinced its a camaro... I swear.. I'm trying to find the guy... but he has an eclipse that he made look EXACTLY like that... I mean... vins can be switched... how do we know the junk yard doesn't have it wrong... It prolly is a camaro.. but I just can't get over the fact it looks like something I've seen before...

 

Judging by the radiator support, hood latch (Firebird hood latches are different), strut towers & brake booster....It is a Camaro

 

if you look and campare the yellow one next to it, its def a camaro

 

I agree it looks like a terrible dirt track attempt, but since it has headlight buckets/cut outs it was probably not going to be a dirt track car(as they typically have smoothed front ends with stickers like nascar)

so in the end its either a Dirt track look alike, or somebodys idea of an "awesome thirdgen body kit/ import" look, which in the end is just disgraceful

 

look at this it looks like the same junk heap, this is what gives third gens a bad name

Hey usacamaro - off of the yellow IROC, could you get a price for me on the head light bezels (set of 4) and the light cups w/springs and adjustment screws (metal pieces behind the head lights)?

I need a complete set to modify so I can keep my originals in tact.

Thanks and let me know!

Mike

 

I dunno I like it, it looks like a half done fastback, hmm a fastback third-gen I like the sound of that

 

hey 1bad91z that car is long gone they finally put it out of its missery. it was a flood car not to much good on it . i might have the extra parts you are looking for i will check and let you know.

 

It's an 82, if you base it off the engine, which looks like an 82 LG4.
That makes me
