Dude. Get new glasses.

That car looks foul. They took a beautiful design (Camaro) and beat the **** out of it with an ugly stick. I'd pay someone just to get that bucket the hell out of my driveway.

So we would supply the car and the sticker price for the conversion would be what exactly? $20K maybe?

I would buy it. The 70-73 T/A's were my favorite design. I'm not much for retro, but I do like it.

It is a pretty strange design . The body is a 1st gen retro theme then they are trying to add 2nd gen elements to that.The main thing is those headlights are hideous ! The back actually looks pretty good and the "beak" grille isn't too terrible but the headlights look straight out of the JC Whitney catalog and ruins the front. Ditch them first and rethink the rest of it.

They need to throw that design out, reprimand the guy that did it and tell him to try again. Or get someone else to do it. Its ugly as sin.

Love it! Cant wait to order it! if its offered, i WILL order it. Im just waiting for the day. IMO the camaro is one of the uggliest cars to ever grace our streets but this makes good use out of an otherwise wasted design. See how opinions differ i guess, One things for sure, there wont be a million of these in town!
