My dad was telling me a friend of his has a 1986 camaro mirage. ive never heard of it but its a rare car supposibly they only made a limited time, well he said he would give me the motor outta it cuz hes putting in a 350. anyone ever hear of this car before? Or is my dads friend just b.s.ing him?

 

Mirage?

If it is that rare, why the hell is he swappin motors out of it?

 

dont know, its probaly b.s. then.

 

I know I've never heard of it. Maybe it was aftermarket...

 

Im just wondering if it was a dealer made car?

 

Need a few more details. After 6 years of doing fairly extensive digging into Camaro history, I have never heard of such a car. Unless proven otherwise, I'd have deny that such a car existed. I'm not saying your dad is lying, he might just be misinformed or lied to.

Do you have any supportive evidence or documentation? Without that, even if it's true, it is then assumed not to exist.

It would be cool if it did though. Anything that makes it unique?

 

The dude is probaly b.s.ing my dad, my dad seen it but maybe the guy just added aftermarket stuff to it, it has a notchback and the body panels around it. I thought the guy is just b.s.ing thats why i posted on here.

 

Can you get any pics, a vin, rpo or any other details?

 

No i cant, its my dad's friend at work who just bought it. I have no idea who the guy is.
Update: i miss heard my dad, the car was from a dealership in california and that dealership had customized 10 of those cars. That explains why ive never heard of one before. sorry for the confusion.

 

hey man if you can get a pic i would love to see this car see if your dad ca get a pic

 

k, ill try

 

Yes a pic, some info, some pics of paper work anything to authenticate it would be awsome.

 

get some pics of the car

 

wtf is a mirage camaro?

 

Easy explanation. Someone took an emblem off a Mitsubishi and put it on a Camaro. tada... Camaro Mirage.

Otherwise, no, it never existed.

 

Don't worry. If it's a real mirage it'll disappear when you get closer.

 

I've found if there was an "official" model made, you'll find it using Google.. If you type in 'COPO Camaro' or 'Tojan Firebird' you'll get lots of hits despite the fact that both were pretty rare.

A search for Mirage Camaro comes up with nothing...

 

very amusing

ppl make up and believe the weirdest stuff

 

Actually just about the only thing that does show up is this thread.

 

I do remember a car called Mirage, but it wasn`t a Camaro. I think it was a one-off dealer thing from the late seventies, either a Chevy Monza or one of GM`s knock-offs. Never heard of a Camaro Mirage.
