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!

$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.

Hey Linc, I love my 3800 Series II. That's one thing GM did right!

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...).

I am a GM guy and I will say that GM cars are mostly crap....the interior being by far the worst. But the LS based engines truly are amazing. And they are still pushrod engines to boot!

Worst body work ever (in Simpson's comic book guy voice)

and I second linc's posts.

While GM has improved (really, where else did they have to go but up, and of course on my dime via the government) I am still disappointed at best by their offerings. I just had a brand new Malibu as a rental and what a turd it was. The pick up power was non existent, the interior while better still looked like it was assembled in preschool by my four year old, the turning radius was worse than my 03 4runner, the handling basically a joke, and even at idle the engine sounded like it was straining to stay alive. The styling is still boring and the paint was as linc previously stated. Of yeah, and it had less than 3k miles on it too.

So put it up against the other American offering of it's class the Ford Fusion and it really looks like a joke. Ford has figured it out, unfortunately Chrysler and GM have not.

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...

just remember that Mitsubishi's NA 3.0L v6 only made 30 more hp with .8 less litters and weighed 50 less pounds back when gm thought that the 3800 was the shit
