I dunno, I kind of like it. At least the paint and body look decent and the drivetrain itself doesn't look like a total POS. It looks better as a 4x4 than a similar 'vette with 20"s, that's for sure.

Just like when I see a muscle car in chameleon paint and donk wheels. At least it is still on the road and not rotting away. Just keeping the body in good shape for the next owner

I'm with a lot of you. Not sure that I'd want to own it and can't imagine spending $8k on it, but I think it would be an absolute blast to drive. It certainly would be fun in the snow but I can also see it zipping down the beach tire deep in water. You would absolutely need a beer in you hand though. Long hair and a muscle shirt wouldn't hurt either.

Can't say it's a Bubba .Bubba would have used house paint and old truck tires.To me someone had fun with a wreck and did a pretty good job of it .Not my taste but hay for 8 grand it could be fun at the next NCRS meeting.

Once you build the basic platform you can pretty much perch anything you want up there - some belong - some don't. These don't!

I wonder where the center of gravity is on the Camaro? Other than getting in and out of it the Camaro could be fun for a short time.

I'd drive it....

Atleast in the Buffalo winters. Looks like someone had a Blazer frame or an old Blazer that the body rusted out on, and then got sick of the rust. I see this as a perfect example that Corvette enthuseists come in all shapes and sizes.
