Here's a real gem I thought you'd all enjoy. Try to guess what type of car is hiding underneath the skin.

That's a Puke Performance kit! I'd know one of their kits anywhere.

Hint #1: Front engine (not a Fiero)
Hint #2: Car is built in the 80's (Not a Mustang)

It appears to be an F-body car (Firebird or Camaro).

Yes, an 83 Firebird.

You win a kit to put on your Fbody!

The headlights look like they are off a skyline. Other than that don't know anything except the fact that I want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon for looking at it.


Edit.... Had to add. Here's a sad thought, someone put time and money into this, and the whole time working on it thought "hmmm,, this is starting to look cool", and kept going because there was not point where they stopped and looked at it and thought,, yeah,, maybe this wasn't a good idea and started over or at least,, just quit.

That is most beautiful car design I've ever seen. Can't believe it hasn't seen production. Somebody has to produce a kit for this ASAP so we can all enjoy...

Just wait until you see the inside!
Love the soft dash board in place of an airbag perhaps?

Didn't even bother to remove the alternator bracket to paint it. Over-spray
on the coolant hose, and shock towers, brake booster, etc.
He'll even throw in the rusted rebar hood prop!



Nice leak proof targa top too!

I'm sure the listing, if it was for sale, would read something like "Unique, one of a kind build. Don't let this opportunity for you to own the car of your dreams pass you by...Ready to take home the trophies from the local car shows!"

I just have to laugh as I actually know a guy that posted a rust bucket as "Show restoration ready!"

Definitely the worst abomination of a 3rd generation F-Body I have ever seen. Always have been a 3rd gen fan and owned several of them. Horrible.

I believe that (the butchered Firebird) started out with one of those convert your car body panel kits that show up in the back of kit car and some other car magazines. Buy this kit and turn your clapped out Firebird or Camaro into a European style supercar only 799.95 plus freight.
Then again it could have been one of those "Me and Leroy raided the scrap pile and built us a Lamboginni out of his old Firebird" deals.
