There's a Camaro Under There, Somewhere...

Like gender reassignment surgery, taking one car and trying to turn it into something else is rarely a complete success, and typically the end result is pleasing only to the person who’s idea it was in the first place. Case in point: the following eBay auction. We’ll let the seller’s description do the talking…

“This incredible Rev Angel 300HP V-8 Exotic Replica Supercar was meticulously designed and handcrafted (light strong metal, not heavy fiberglass!) to resemble million dollar exotic supercars, without the costs, maintenance, repairs, insurance, etc.!!! It has a V-8 (300 HP– with the included intake plenum similar to the one pictured) LT-1 Chevy Engine with only 36,000 original miles which was replaced 95 miles ago!!! Also replaced recently (within the year) was the alternator, starter, and battery. It has a current safety inspection and emissions sticker and the title is free and clear.

This car will peal and smoke the tires from a stand still. It will virtually beat any tuner car, fiero replica, older corvette’s or so called muscle cars. The rear wheel track has been widened by 4 inches with wheel spacers to accomodate the widebody styling. The interior is a sporty stock Camaro Z-28. Side windows have been tinted with removable 20% VIS. The dash is cracked (easily fixed by a $35 dash cover) and the driver side seat bolster is torn (but can easily be fixed by some seat covers). The lights and electrical work and the A/C blows, but it needs a recharge (the heater works great).

If you want Supercar looks (attention and compliments galore!!!) in a daily driver that you can have at a tiny fraction of the cost, this is the car for you! This is the time to do it, since financial situation warrants letting it go for very much less than desired! NO RESERVE!!! The winner will take this home!

Thank you for looking and God Bless You abundantly!”

Oh look. It used to be red.

While we laud and appreciate the desire to customize one’s car, projects like this tend to push down the resale value of your ride – in this case, the no-reserve auction is stalled with zero bids at the $3,875 opening price with three days to go and more than 12k page views. We wish jah3160 all the luck in the world with his auction, but like the aforementioned surgery, we don’t think he’s going to get the happy ending he hoped for.
