Tony Sestito’s purple-people-eater Camaro/TrailBlazer hybrid from yesterday was just horrifying. The plum-colored paint, the kit bashed appearance, and the questionable V8 under the hood all screamed “run away” long before you got to the $10,000 price tag. YIKES…just because you can doesn’t necessarily mean that you should. That engine should have been saved for a ragged-out third-gen F-body and the rest of that chimera should have been sent straight to the crusher for a mercy killing. But not minutes after seeing it, we got wind of another Camaro freak that needs a savior, and we need your help in deciding if it’s worth saving from the shredder or not.

This radically chopped, flip-nose creation is supposed to be a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro. On first sight you get the sensation that you are looking at a kit car…at first glance, I immediately pictured a Sterling kit car myself.  There aren’t any pictures of the pinched front-end that shows what the grille area looks like, but the clamshell, flip-forward hood unit is an interesting custom touch and once you get past the roof, the rest of the car is Camaro.

This is one of those full-insanity build project that you can’t just repaint and re-power. This needs to be built into an early 1970s style custom. A well-dressed small-block with a tunnel ram sticking up through the hood, the kind of rich, candy-lacquer like paint in the period style, some Cragar SS/T wheels in wide and wider measurements on white-letter Mickey Thompson tires, and a crushed velour interior would bring this otherwise sad old custom into it’s own. $3,500 for a roller shell isn’t cheap, but the mods themselves are done and you’re starting from scratch for your own build. Would you dare go for it?
