Love it? Hate it? What do you call it now?

 

I am all about factory look in these cars and don't care much for when someone tampers with body lines. Believe it or not, I kinda like the concept. But I have a soft spot for 1st gens. It would need the tail reworked in a similar manner though. It just doesn't go with the front.

 

Sadly it was probably worth what he is asking before he "invested" over $10,000 in it.

Now I'm not so sure.

 

I like it... Might be pretty sweet when it's all finished!

 

Ditch the GFX, reshape the tail and graft in some 1G tails it could actually work to some degree. At least its a camaro/camaro merger. I have seen worse for sure.

On a personal taste note, i don't think either generation looks good with a bug catcher. It just doesn't fit the personality of the car.

 

Pass.

 

OMG

 

WTF is right...... No Thanks !

 

since that posting will go away you should post some of those pics here for posterity!!

 

I'm going to call it a Camero.

 

I like it. The 67-68 RS cars had a great nose like the 70-73 Trans am. The 69 rs was not quite as good looking but they made it so you could see if the doors didn't open at night. They guy had an itch and the talent to scratch it. It is definately a one of. This makes me think of the 70 and 71 cudas. I am a chevy guy and I know they all look at what each other is doing. But the 70-71 Cuda looks INCREDIBLY like a 69 camaro. Is it me or was that a little over the line. When the Mustang came out GM made a pony car but it didn't look anything like a Mustang. They made a better looking pony car. Dodge made essentially a 69 Camaro with a different grill, tail lights, door handles etc. Mostly small stuff. The hood and doors might interchange they look so similar.

 

keeping the thread alive!

At least that looks better.

 

Firearri? Looks better because it's finished.

 

if you saw it on the road you would say wtf is that....:")

 

Probably,

 

There is a car that I've seen at local shows that started out as a 4th gen Firebird and was re-skinned as a '67 or '68 Firebird. Rolling down the road you would think that it is a fgf but when you see it up close, the differences show up. The interior is all 4th gen including the dash and console. The sheetmetal had to be widened to fit. All in all the work was done very professionaly. The finished product looks very good (I'm not a fan of the color scheme he chose but that is personal choice and I don't hold that against him).

 

I just threw up in my mouth !

 

Well, you're lucky enough to have a first gen and a third gen. You may be biased, LOL. As it is it doesn't quite work, but I like where it's headed.

 

Took the vomit right out of my mouth.

 

I actually like this. Its decently remoulded. It looks more Maserati than Ferrari. About the only thing noticeably trans-am is the quarter panel profile and the roof line.

Dunno why in the hell they used Grand Am wheels on it tho.

 

Clearly an attempt at the 308 GTS not a Maserati

 

yeah, seeing them side by side like that I agree. The really bad digital skip on the hood of the white car messes with my eyes. It looks like it has kind of a "bulge" that tapers to a point... oh well not important. :P

It's pretty close to the 308, but they fell plenty short of a full replica.

I cant get over the grand am wheels...

 

It is called a Machavelli... It was a kit car back int he 80's... There are a few out there...

Personally Change the wheels and it would look a lot better.

Can someone explain how this is even remotely convertible related?

 

not sure..
I didnt create it.. but also wonder how this belongs in a technical board such as thirdgen.org?

 

i like it

 

I just cannot see this going on, I have to be the bad guy... sorry.
