Re: What the...???

Honestly I have seen worst! I posted a Camaro on here lastmouth where the seller had did this type of conversion on a 4th genCamaro.

I don’t like the fact that the seller is trying to pass the car off as a 69 Camaro, could had just sold it as a third gen kit car or something.

The builder could have done without the side exhaust and better looking rims.

But my biggest complaint is not paying attention to detail.
Camaro with a Firebird dash, rusty hood prop, those sidemirrors smh.
The interior is wack and dirty, with all the money, hardwork and fabrication it took to get the car to look like that I just wish the owner took more time on the interior and under the hood to make the car look worth 30 grand.

I wonder if anyone will pay $30,000 for it.

Re: What the...???

Surely somebody is not stupid enough to end up deep into that thing thinking it's real. I guess there is a possibility they really don't know????

Re: What the...???

he stole himself a real rare 69 camero all right!!!

seeing how it's a firebird in the first place, calling it a camero seems right.

who needs seat belts? i've scraped the transmission cross member on a stock ride height third gen on speed bumps before, can't imagine how well the side pipes would do. i'm sure they braced the car properly too when they cut the roof off of it...

this is among the most ridiculous craigslist ads i've ever seen.

Re: What the...???

Someone wasted a lot of money on that thing. I wouldn't pay ten grand for it let alone 30!

It even has the old stick hood prop! You'd think for that kind of money somebody could have fabbed up a proper one.
