Camaro Tries to Impersonate Lamborghini, Fails Miserably
Like a rolling showcase for worst tack-on body parts available, poor third-gen Camaro is even worse inside.
Throughout history, man has attempted many times over to transform a variety of cars into exotic machines. Driven by the desire to look wealthier than they actually are, these folks traditionally slap bodywork designed to look like a Lamborghini or Ferrari onto something cheap and plentiful, often cars like Fieros. But in the case of this poor 1991 Camaro that we came across on Craigslist recently, the owner didn’t even bother to go that far. Instead, they simply threw a bunch of random parts at the car, slapped some Lamborghini Murcielago badges on it, and called it good.
The result is a creation that’s absolutely terrible, yet also make-you-shed-tears hilarious. The more you look at this piecemeal abomination, the better it gets. For starters, the exterior features a whole catalog full of random tack-on body parts. Including a front hood spoiler, for some reason. It’s almost like the owner purposely chose the most audacious-looking things he could find, then used double-sided tape to slap them on. But we’ll give them some credit at least – we’ve seen worst installations and paint jobs. The quality of the work here isn’t horrible, at least.
Then there are the various Lamborghini-like parts this Camaro proudly wears. There’s a Lambo badge on the nose, a Murcielago script on the rear. The owner even went to the trouble to find a set of old school Lambo “phone dial” wheels to further their cause. The same goes for the massive rear wing and “engine cover” located exactly where the engine is not in any Camaro. No matter what gen you’re talking about.
But just when you thought that it couldn’t get any worse, the interior might just take the proverbial cake here. Inside this Camaro, you’ll find a series of junk including, yes, that’s a keyboard. That apparently isn’t connected to anything. Not to mention a series of buttons and dials that probably don’t do anything, either. It’s almost like peeking inside some reject sci-fi movie car from the ’80s. And we don’t mean that in a good way.
If you’re looking to get behind the wheel of this sweet Lambo Camaro, we’ve got some bad news, however. The owner isn’t actually selling it, but seeking a trade for a motorcycle or old classic in need of restoration. With any luck, the owner won’t find anyone willing to offer them the latter. Because we certainly don’t need any more cars like this one in the world.
