Never Knew This Was Available By GM Dealers.

EEeeeeewwwwwwwww...

Any dealership that would put THAT on one of these cars should have its franchise revoked.

 

Yuck. Carollo... AKA the Chevy version of the Toe Jam. Not sure you can really call it an Iroc anymore. To call it ugly is an insult to ugly cars.

Edit: On second thought... Maybe we should all kick in a dollar to buy this abortion and convert it back to a Camaro? Like the NKOTB Monkee-Mobile, or the ZR1 Camaro concept car, it's 2018 and we have the technology. We can remove this automotive atrocity from the population.

 

I was 8 years old when the 82 F bodies came out and I thought they were the best looking cars out there. Then the Iroc came out and I knew I had to have one one day. I love all Camaros etc. Then one day I saw a Tojan and I said how could someone take a Trans Am and make it look so tacky and embarrassing. I think I saw one of these Carrallos or something like it and said....WHY!! UGHHH

 

Hey! You watch your mouth! It's the coolest most bad assest beautiful car ever.... From the people that brought you ornamental stick bundle trees.

 

Reminds me of this gem.

 

At least this car was made as a joke for a movie.
Crazy thing is the camaro this thread is about was an actual car offered by GM. So weird.

 

Let's just call that Camaro K.I.T.T.'s cousin from Aspen, Colorado.

 

 

 

Please make it stop! That thing is fugly!

 

The Carallo was a body kit that you could buy and apply to the car.

It was NOT "an actual car offered by GM".

GM made the 3rd gen Camaro a sleek, simple, straight-ahead, American hot-rod. Compared to 2nd gen it was revolutionary. At the time it had a very "minimal" kind of look. It looked like an arrow, as opposed to a Goodyear blimp. All that bulging bloated dripping love-handle plastic ... CRAP ... all pasted onto it just totally ruins the whole point. Even the IROC gfx do that to some extent IMO. But that thing is just proof that some people are totally taste-resistant.

 

 

Yikes!

I almost don’t mind the rear end looks..

Every other angle sucks..

It’s a shame someone saw this as an “improvement” over the stock IROC

 

Not an attractive car.

 

Pretty terrible, and I usually like (or rather, enjoy gawking at) the weird oddball one-offs. Why anyone ever thought this was a good idea is beyond me. Although I'll bet the story behind this offering is interesting, at least.

 

Well see, once in awhile you get one of these arty froot loops that wants to build an odd car. Without the resources to actually build the car from the ground up, they do stuff like this... They can get a regular production car and church it up, then call it a super limited edition super car, trying to pass it off as a Ferrari or some BS. It doesn't really pass the sniff test, most people aren't stupid enough to fall for it.

The story that GM, Chevy, Pontiac, etc hired Knudsen to build the car for them is silly. It's more like Knudsen bought the car, came up with the scheme, and then shopped their conversions around to various dealers. If it were the other way around, GM would have had them in the brochures right along with the ASC convertibles.

 

There are a few things here I would prefer bundled vs. leaning into paint jobs.

The subtle hood is neat. Kind of the way the CA IROC plain hood was something different.

I don't plan on making the short drive to check this one out, though it's tempting.

 

Same album, different track...

 

does that last bullet read 'For protective priority contact us now'??

if so, WTF?

 

Ahh Colorado, The Sunshine State

 

I was watching Dumb & Dumber and it just brought to mind all those "pretty rich people" with all the plastic surgery and stomping around in the snow like it's nobody's business. Which is what this car reminded me of.

 

You know, protective... Like they give you a helmet?

 

I thought that was what you were going for, lol it made me
