Regardless of what anyone on here is going to say in the flame war that will probably start (For some reason, people are so quick to flame a car over the internet than they are when they see a car in person?) The car is in incredible shape, a VERY quality car, and one of my favorite custom Camaros. Really sad to see Dan selling Wet Dream...





Gorgeous car. Two 175 shot nitrous bottles... He has more HP in one bottle's shot than my car even cranks out.



Edit: You can see the flat-black nose of my car back when I had the new bumper on it way at the front of the line (in the pictures case, it's the back of the picture, next to the white 30th anniversary) It was going in for paint in two days, they forced me to park with them even though I wanted to park my car in the back cause of the ugly unpainted bumper and my gelcoated hood

*barf* why, oh why GOD! seriously tho, that car is my definition of horrible, with all the money he spent on those horrendous paint and body mods, he could have something much more badass. the engine and drivetrain setup is pretty friggin sweet tho, ill give em that.

Yes you did. He wanted a higher amount of money for the car, and I don't think it reached what he wanted. I only wish I had the cash, I'd buy his car in a heartbeat and sell it back to him when he can afford it again.

werd...i guess i kinda like it because you can tell the man really wanted to go out there with his setup..it would definitely catch your eyes if you saw that rollin around on the streets, but i wouldn't have gone that route personally

The effort on that car makes it look great, the scheme is what kills it. which is always the problem with trying to sell something that doesnt suit everyones taste.

any more pics of the interior? I noticed that all the plastic seems to be sanded, and painted

He has two NOS bottles in back, each bottle has a 175 shot or something. I don't know, some kid was talking about it at the cruise I posted the pics from. Dan didn't tell me specifically, so the kid might've been wrong.

As for the interior, I didn't get any shots, but he had sanded and removed the texture to all the panels, then painted them of course.

I've seen the car crusin around. Personally I can't stand the way it looks and would never do something like that to my car, but I'm very traditional with my car. I guess to each his own but its definatly gonna take a while to find someone with that similar taste to fork out as much cash as he wants for it.

I'll give him props for being custom and doing **** his way. He took an unorthodix approach and as long as he's happy with the outcome, thats all that matters. But something like that, that doesnt appeal to everyone is going to be tough to sell.

Agreeing with the paint scheme...

It's cute though...

I'm sure if I tried something like that with my own style it'd be ridiculed as well.. haha...

I hope he sells it though... Something about it just screams 80s!
