Ok, what the heck was the plan for this poor Camaro? From the 80's fabulous audio to the ugly diamond-plating dash... to the $25,000 asking price!


So yah, WTF

I especially like the the Wal-Mart NOS rubber floormats with matching seat covers.

And why would you black-out the entire engine bay but paint the strut mounts silver?

It's a good thing he never drove it in the rain after it was "finished", he'd have gotten pretty wet

I think the saying is, "One mans Treasure is another mans Junk."

It looks ok, but there are alot of things that make me wonder why he did that? But its not my taste. E-bay is not a great place to have a virtual car show because there are alot of things that you do not see.

The Plate Steel I think is tacky, but I have seen it well done on other cars. I would think that every time you had a passenger they would scrape their knee on the sharp edge getting in the car.

The Plate steel under the hood is an interesting touch, and probably why he chose to paint the rest of the under hood black and paint the strut tower caps silver.
