What the heck is this?

Sorry - I didn't know where else to put this. It is an example of what not to do to your car.

Re: What the heck is this?

Wow, that is one of the dumbest looking cars I ever saw.
The "body kit" looks suspiciously like a camper body.....

Re: What the heck is this?

That is sad. Who would take a Firebird and built that mess? I'm always one for saving and restoring these cars as much as possible but that is a car that needs to be crushed. Maybe someone will bid on it cheap and salvage the drivetrain and suspension parts.

Re: What the heck is this?

the funny part is that there is a really nice looking 67 or 68 Camaro and a 94-96 Impala SS in the background of a couple of the shots.

Re: What the heck is this?

thats mind boggling.

is that a kit that was actually produced and sold? i wonder what they were trying to do with it cause it looks like a complete fail. The fuel pump hack in the truck really has me worried. what is that hose stickout of of the hole and running into the trunk well? I know what i think it is.

Re: What the heck is this?

$810 was not enough to meet the Trash Am reserve price. No worries... I am saving my pennies for this modern/classic beauty...

Hope it goes on the auction block soon.
