Check out this rare 89 Camaro from Knudsen

eBay Motors: Chevrolet : Camaro (item 120028569415 end time Sep-16-06 11:45:00 PDT)

Kinda ugly but different.

If an individual knows what this car is they will understand that it is a concept car created for GM. The Insurance appraisal and currently active insurance for this car is $30,000! This is for the true car collector this will be the show piece. It may be viewed in Dracut, Massachusetts. The reserve for this vehicle is not that high for this one of very few cars produced and not aware of any for sale. Knudsen also produced the Trojan by Pontiac-Trans Am - same series.

This is one of 300 Vehicles produced by Knudsen Motors in Nebraska; a concept car built for General Motors and returned to Dealers to sell to the public and test reactions.

There was another one on Ebay recently. Here's the thread discussing it, https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/hist...hlight=knudsen.

The owner of the car should really check his spelling; It's Tojan not Trojan.

It's just another aftermarket conversion... Think Miami Vice.

The best part is they say it's for a true collector, yet they say the engines been replaced. Assuming that a collector would be interested, the non-original engine instantly drops the value substantially. Not many people will take the time to install a new engine correctly, and rarely is the new replacement engine up to the standards of the original.
