Default 4x4 Custom Camaro from Gas Monkey Garage

4x4 Custom Camaro from Gas Monkey Garage
By Sarah Portia

A first-gen Camaro is undeniably a member of the most sought-after cars for many enthusiasts. So, why has this one been lifted into the sky?

Because some idiot decided to waste a good Camaro body that could have been made into something a lot nicer like a cool RestoMod….

Seems a little irrelevant though to this forum. I don't recall it having an LS?

Not having an LS does not bother me. I like it, always have liked dare to be different. Any kind of body can be put atop a pickup frame and crashed Chevy pickups are everywhere, I turned down a rolled , but running and driving around the junk yard Chevy 4X4 with 5.3 for $1100. I had a 50 Chevy pickup cab I planned to make into a hunting buggy. But too many projects ahead of that!

Curated Content editor has not a clue about relevance; he (or she, or they) just put whatever weird crap they can find on here.

And what was your last project, I don't ever remember seeing anything about your projects. Have I just missed them.

None of my projects were LS based, so you would not have seen them. Years(more like decades..) ago it was a '63 VW bug w/ a later 1600 swapped in. I was just out of high school. Much later was a Cummins Diesel into my '80 F150. Turned out pretty well, though a good auto trans w/ OD would have been nice, but none were strong enough at the time. Nothing major since then. Tell me about your swap projects.
Let's just say I know a cool project when I see one. A classic Camaro hacked onto a 4WD truck chassis isn't one, in my eyes.

Project??? I thought that was a 1 of 1 67’ Camaro 4wd prototype that Richard found in a chicken house, bought it for $300 bucks, and flipped it the next Friday for $100k, like everything else on the stupid show...

Do you really not see the irony when you criticize my posts?

Also - not like they actually did anything to the car - they just stuck the body on a big *** frame. This could easily be made back into a normal car and no one would be the wiser. Had they cut the body up donk-style to fit the wheels, then maybe it would be a problem.

Your posts criticize other forum members at a personal level. This stuff is done internally by this site, and is irrelevant to the focus of this site. They are defeating their own subject of focus. You might see irony, but my points are not aimed personally. Yours are.
Curated Content editor is actually many guys who contribute. This site sorts thru it, but have strayed from the focal point of this site.

I would like to see more positive posts.....
I like 4x4's.
I like that someone made money doing what they love.
I like that someone loved that Camaro so much they paid 100k for it
I like to seen different stuff especially on this site, because it's my favorite site and I don't want to go other places.

So you feel that certain people should be fair game and others should not. Please explain how you come about this.

You tell me; you're just as guilty as you think I am...
