Re: Wow...I'm being nice here...

Those wheels are disgusting... and I have to be honest, that paint job isn't too bad. I think if I would buy that car, I'd actually keep it. Normally I think green only looks good on grass and money, but that Camaro looks pretty good green.

Someone needs to buy that car so it can go to a good home. I'd do it myself if I had that kind of cash layin' around...

Re: Wow...I'm being nice here...

I just don't care for those wheels, on anything, basically. IROC "clone" - just the decals? I'd be interested in seeing "before' pics. Sorry, gimme the classic Camaro look.

Not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Change the wheels and put a new top on it and it would look pretty good. I'm not a fan of green paint, but it surprisingly doesn't look bad on it.

And if you're going to spend 10K on it, why would you only put a 305 in it.

Somewhere around me, there is a neon lime green iroc with 20" wheels. I was the first time I saw it.

Re: Wow...I'm being nice here...

The most polite word I can think of is . . . . DISGUSTING!!!!
Interior - rough
Wheels - yuck
Paint - yuck - and poorly done. Heck, it still has red paint under the hood!!!! I wonder what the trunk and door frames are like?
Engine bay - yuck - it speaks for itself.
Roof - yuck - it too goes without saying.

And all this for $12,000!!!!!

I really feel sorry for this mistreated vert.

Re: Wow...I'm being nice here...

I don't think the color is that bad. Rims are neat, but waaaaaaay too big.
