Team Camaro??

I was searching through craigslist when i noticed this posting, it claims to be a Team Camaro car. I will attach a pic of what they have, anyone have any info or heard of these or are they just a custom one off kind of thing? maybe dealer installed or no just a slap job??

Heres the thread even though it will expire in not too long... Very Rare Custom 1986 'Team Camaro'

She's probably part of a local or regional dealer promotion.

Choo Choo did various aftermarket conversions for thirdgens, you've probably seen other Choo Choo work around.

Was the El Camino dubbed the IROC-SS with the IROC front end or did it have the Monte SS front end? Those are nice.

Also, in 1988, Choo Choo customs took a black S10 Blazer and added a gold fade to it.

The only way to get replacement parts from them for any car was to provide a VIN. This cut down on clones.

No value. They were just an appearance package. They didn't do any performance modifications.
