Default $333,000 camaro

Watching Mecum Auto Auctions tonight (Dallas).

West Coast Custom's "Operation Mend" Camaro just went for $333,000.00

I didn't like it at all but you could tell there was some really nice quality work in it.

- All proceeds will be donated to benefit Operation Mend
Pretty cool, gives a chance for rich car guys to give back to a cause and get a cool car in return. They had a 1993 40th Anniv Corvette at one of the auctions sell for big money, all proceeds went to a charity.

seriously dude. that thing is ****** gross looking. i mean i appreciate the idea of it, but it looks like crap. camo on cars never looks good, trucks and suv's maybe, but on a car, a CAMARO to be specific, no.

and there is like nothing done inside. i mean for 333,000, id expect NOTHING on that car to be stock!!!

i mean to me it looks like all they did was make it "camo" put wheels and tires on it and a sound system. i mean yeah im sure it's good quality but it still looks like ****, and def not worth 333,000 whoever paid that much def got ripped. but it was for a good cause so that is excellent!

Apparently the concept of charity is lost upon some people.

I was thinking the same thing. Some one better tell the winning bidder on that 1993 Corvette they got ripped, $280K for a stock LT1 C4. Guys dropping that kind of coin probably could care less about the car.

A nicer/better put together theme car will bring more coin though. Glad the money is going to a good cause!

as a veteran of oif, I really can appreciate the fact that the money did go to that charity. all I'm saying is why not just donate the money than even be affiliated with that disgusting piece of sheet? lol

What are these people thinking when they put shitty looking rims, a shitty paint job that gives me a headache, and slap a supercharger on it for "performance".

Oh I get it now, say anything about "support the troops" and someone will perk up and buy the POS looking thing. Just donate to one of the many support the troops organizations, and save yourself the embarrassment of driving the POS.

Got some laughs from the comments here top to bottom.

I concur mostly. Obviously the idea behind this and the genuine care was misdirected. While I'm greatful the money went to one of the most worthy causes, the winner of this car was either a true patriot, or color-blind! Either way, for those who've served and benifit from this, thank you.
