Its almost like you are looking at an illusion.  I cant tell if I like it or not.

Pretty neat IMO.  Lots of work must have went into the car.

as for an e-body.......maybe a 70/71 mix.  :poopoke:

I really like it too.  Back when I was taking my Stratus R/T to some some shows, I saw a few imports like that...although not to that extent.  They would be painted the same color on both sides but would have different graphic treatments and wheels on each side.

That guy has way too much time on his hands.  There's a reason he choose a 1968,  which is the least desireable of the 1st Generation Camaros!

I suspect "that guy" was paid a crazy amount of money by State Farm to build this thing.  To me - as a State Farm customer - it makes me wonder how much of my money was wasted building this thing...

It is for training purposes if you read it to help Insurance brokers tell the difference between hacked and not hacked. WOuld you pay someone to slap fiberglass resin over rust pinholes?  :sly:

Do they even insure collector cars? Progressive wouldn't touch mine.

It is a waste of a Camaro. They could have done this as easily to an 84 IROC.

They could have just used 2 cars...

When I insured my 'Cuda (with State Farm), no one came out to inspect it, so how would they have any idea what quality it's in?  No offense to any insurance adjusters/agents on here, but most of those guys don't know an e-body from a horse-and-buggy.  For as rarely as they are asked to insure (or make a claim) for one of these cars, the cost of this "training aid" is ill-placed, IMO.

At least it is just a camaro. There are usually at least 20-30 of them at every car show/cruise in.
