Default camaro king LA?

whats up tech... anyone ever deal with these guys or have any info?! I have been out of the game for almost a year now since I sold my z28 and I never really learned about these guys over the past few years. I am definitely interested because im helping my recently retired grandfather find a nice clean fbody to have some fun with. He actually mentioned to me today that he checked out their site and liked what they had. I think we actually might roll there together sometime this week. So just looking for any info one might have to hook up. Thx guys!

I would agree, expensive as hell. And also be aware that he sells camaros as "SS" but they are really cloned Z28's. He does do good jobs on the interiors though, I'll give him that.

I'd never buy a Camaro King car. From what I've seen to much shady work in the past, shitty repaints. Wayyyyy over priced.

Those pics are old pics. The ss hoods on the z28s he labels as SS are garbage. Buyer beware. My friend bought a CK car and the paint is crap now and the hood Is crap. The interiors are nice, but he out sources them to a upholstery shop near by.

Aree with pretty much all of the above, buyer beware, but that goes with ANY car dealership. The cars are expensive but clean for the most part, it is a good place to start an f body search though. My friend bought a REAL firehawk here and he was very happy with it till he sold it like 5 years later. I cant hate on this guy for selling clones, he's honest about the ones that are.

Is your SS a clone? I'm only asking cause I did a double take when I noticed the scoop. Or something just happen to the original hood?
