I just threw up in my mouth a little.....

I found this while looking on ebay, and thought i would share it with you

[What's_nitro?]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[josh9mille]

If you look at all the pics it gets even better.....like the high quality craftsmanship of the rear 1/4 panels. Or the pic of the back of the car, or the front, or.....well just the entire thing is pretty bad! Odds are the current and only bidder will be taking this baby home for a low low price of 3875!

[What's_nitro?]

$10 says he hot-glued the "meticulously designed" body kit to the existing car body. Or, possibly, double-sided tape.

The left-rear wheel arch isn't even round...

God bless you, abundantly...

I actually think he improved garbage motors favorite trailer park ferrari, the craparo. I can imagine thanks to his work it will squeak less, have much reduced cowl shake, and pull some tang like a hunchback at a hawaiian tropic contest...

Seeing as this car was originally red, and that he used silver spray paint to paint it, the new finish should easily outlast the factory gm crapola paint. I have seen soooo many of these "beauties" in inferno red peeling it is not even funny anymore. Plus you have about 7 different materials the exterior body panels are made of, so the paint ages differently on all of them, making the car look even worse (is that possible?)

Sorry if I offend any GM fanboys, but honestly, these camaros were piles of crap, and only bearable with the ls1 motor. LT1 with the distributor cap under the water pump, now that is marketing genius at its best. "Lets hide the high wear pelectrical arts behind something that WILL leak coolant... That way we can sell 2 parts when one craps out." Only bested by the "tuned port" turd motor from the 86 vette, which could be handily outrun by a dodge pickup with a 318. When a small block dodge pickup outrunns you it is time to part your gov't motors ride...

Plus these things are ugly stock, looks like a door stop with extra plastic parts. Makes the 80-90s gen whatever squeaky box 'maro look good. Or the potent 305 fireturd trashcan, that car was a looker compared to the later f body. Now that I have fully offended all of the nightrider fans (don't hassel the hoff) I will step down from my soapbox and await the always orignal "ford sucks, and "found on road dead" comments...

Oh yeah, if this car was in the street by my house I would do the right thing and light it on fire.

Love the GM flame! I've owned Chevy, Dodge, and Ford...I'll stick with my Fords.

The 90 deg v6 they conjoured up back in the day by lopping off the last pair of cylinders of a 350?

I do not have much experience with v6 motors, seemed like a waste of time to me. But if you are having good success then good for you! Just a bailout away from true nirvana!!!

Not saying that fords are perfect, and I am not a mustake fan by any means. I have owned and worked on alot of stuff and ford just gets it right more than the others. Eyeball the paint on the bottom of a chevy truck and then look at a ford truck. You will see why the fords last longer. Ford just make a better truck. But gm have the vette, so we are even... wait a minute, no.

Nope, that's the Series I. That one sucked. They ran rough when they were brand new...

The Series II has a purpose-built 60 deg. engine block. Much smoother. Even my NA engine has great torque. My friends look at me funny when I tell them my Granny car ('95 Bonneville) has bigger cylinders than a 5.0 Mustang (albeit only 6 of them...).

Gotcha, 60deg is required to get a v6 to run smoothly. Or if you happen to be volkswagen then you make it very narrow angle and place it in a crap car and people will flock to it cause they think hitler had something to do with it so it must be good...

The 4.3L V6 was the chopped down 350 and was in the S10 pickups iirc. Maybe the 3.8L was from a 305?

I see what you did there. Looking forward to the 2WII build thread ;)


That thing is truely an abomination. Worst sheetmetal work i've ever seen. What craphole town must you live in to get looks of admoration driving around in that thing?

Please don't hold back tell us what you really think!

I dare the Chevy fan boys to say anything, cause what American Auto maker didn't need any help from the tax payer?

Hmmm lets see, oh yeah it was Ford! They were selling cars and trucks.

Maybe the high bidder on this is Obama's car czar who wants to add it to a Chevy museum and show what was possible with a Chevy product. Why all you need is just a little imagination, a hot glue gun and sheet metal for duct work from Home Depot.

Just for that reason, I'm looking at a 2010 Ford F-150...

HA, I have always had issues with GM products, the designs just seem to be anti-linc.... Plus they just do not seem to last as well as ford products do, at least in my experience.

Ford trucks seem to sell well and I have driven all of the available stuff. The ford always seems tighter built or rides better.

I have seen some issues with the superduty trucks and the deisel engines. The old 7.3 was a great motor and I know of some that have 300k miles and have never had any sort of service. The 6.0 and some of the 6.4 motors have issues, and that sucks. So not everything ford is great, but all of it is better than GM's best attempts. See "corvette interior" for an example of the greatest achievements.

Not sure how the latest gen of f-150s are, but my 02 model has 190k miles and still runs great. Still stock suspension and just changed the shocks. No issues with the truck.

I just got rid of an '04 F-150, great truck! Drove it for three years with very minimal service. Only traded it in because I needed a little better gas mileage and wanted something different, I went with an '07 Explorer Sport Trac. I traded in an '02 Ram for the F-150, the Ram looked great but that was all it had. Had to get a new motor installed at 58K, dealer blamed it on the bosch spark plugs, whatever, I learned my lesson and will stick with Ford
