Check out this custom Camaro on ebay. OMG. What were they smoking when they came up with this concept?

It may have worked if they would have lengthened it and finished it instead of using the camaro rear. I agree that thing sucks.

Public reviews of car: "Wow" you have to be kidding!

that thing is crazy but I think if they would have done a better job with the rear it would have worked the front doesnt look to bad. The rear looks like they lost interest and quit working on it.

Riveted1 · 11-02-2007, 02:42 AM

"Wow, you have to be kidding!" is right! I could see someone start making one of those, decide not to finish it and go on to something else, but these guys made a KIT! And they put it on more than one car!!

earl87gta · 11-02-2007, 02:54 AM

makes you wonder who is buying the kits. maybe they have a better rear kit available.

**special-K** · 11-02-2007, 05:50 AM

I always wanted a stubby `57 Belair!!The body lines look so much better all hacked off and jumbled together so it can fit on a Camaro footprint.What were they thinking in the`50s with all those long flowing designs?I always wanted a`57 and a Camaro convertible.Now I can have both!!!

Hamburgers and fries are great together.But,I don`t throw them in a blender to eat together.

A`94 Camaro convertible will be worth more than that pile of `glas.

chris71 · 11-02-2007, 09:35 AM

man that is a disgrace to the 57 chevy, that and they are just ruining perfectly good camaro convertibles

ccd3 · 11-02-2007, 10:05 AM

It looks like a new-gen mustang dressed up in a Batmobile costume.. Happy Halloween!

Premium72 · 11-02-2007, 10:39 AM

you assume that they were thinking in the first place.....BLAH!!

**1971K54X4** · 11-02-2007, 12:34 PM

That thing simply sucks.

jb4short · 11-02-2007, 02:23 PM

you think they could have thrown a few bucks after some period wheels and ditched the stockers....hmmm....zero rating...way to jump into E-Bay feet first!

Any self-serving car nut would know to make it look more correct than the lackabrains did with this "abortion". What started out (conceptually) as a "good" idea quickly deteriorated into a pilacrap. What a waste of manpower and materials. Oh,yeah....money, too.

It doesn't specify that you will be the center of BADattention!

Is that the nice way of telling you that people will point and laugh?

72 cheyenne pdx · 11-02-2007, 03:00 PM

I thought the did a great job until they got to the rear of the car. I agree it looks as though they lost interest or money and didn't finish.

shifty · 11-02-2007, 03:36 PM

sorry, but the ass-end of that car is FUGLY

68K20 x Drill · 11-02-2007, 04:10 PM

I do not think it is any worse than Fords so called Tbird.

Dingfodgy · 11-02-2007, 04:51 PM

No, No, that just won't do! It's all wrong I tell ya'. The boxy profile of the
'57-ish hood and grill, shoehorned onto the sleek, raked back lines of the GenIV F-body is simply unnatural looking.
Honestly I don't see what they were trying to acheive. A guy can pretty much build a brand new '57 chevy with repop parts. If he wanted to he could even put all the drivetrain and suspension parts of the F-body underneath said '57 chevy. In the end he would have a kick-ass car that very much looked like a '57 chevy not some bastardized, frankenstein-ish pile of suck like these reknobs have come up with.

Gimme a break- I'd rather have holes in my eyes than have to look at that picture again.

"This '94 Camaro Convertible is only the 2nd one built and is now being offered for sale"

I feel sorry for the owner of the first one...

locobandito · 11-02-2007, 06:12 PM

Wow! This is hard to chew. 20k makes it even harder to believe.

Some thing's are best left well enough alone.

**truckster** · 11-02-2007, 06:30 PM

"Only the second one built"?!! You mean the person who built the first one got away with it?
