Give it some flares. No, bigger.
And how about some rear scoops, like an old Group 5 car.
Five hundred horsepower? No, let’s go for a thousand.
Think 20-inch wheels are big enough?
Taillights? Hmmm, late-model Corvette?
Of course it needs a/c, too, and one of those D-shaped steering wheels.
Anyway, that’s how we picture the conversation going on …
That space invaders dashboard is horrible.
I really love Camaros, but this car... it has some nice touches, but too many things scream "Corvette Summer" was the owner's favorite movie.
I'd rather have a '69 Camaro.
Yuck. Way too overwrought.
And just to be safe, lets drive it through the ugly-forest. One stick would never be enough!
The '69 Camaro is one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
What a shame.
You can do it this way, or you can do it Loosecannon's way.........I know which one I prefer.
I need to get more air into my Corvair's engine, and those rear scoops are giving me bad ideas!
What is the bar running along the passenger door, down into the footwell? Some sort of bracing? Why isn't there one on the driver side?
So that's what a '69 Camaro looks like after it swallowed a bee.
If you removed the flares, returned the panels to original, redid the interior to the way it was, you'd be just about there...
Amazing how one of the most elegant GM designs has been transformed into....something else. :(
Yes, there was a ton of work that went into the car, but someone had to agree to the original concept design first! If there actually was one.
As far as the 150-175k estimate...
I'm guessing it doesn't meet reserve.

That is curious. Maybe it more of a "Holy E36 M3" handle and not structural? Note the interesting method how that crash-bar is attached? to the floor. Or is it? Also note the detailed and precise fit of the carpet around the roll bar structure, as befits a $100k plus bespoke automobile.
This thing reminds me of some of the gaudy mansion/palaces that 80's drug-lords and Manhatan developers used to build. Money does not buy class.
I like the general concept, but it's so confusing to me. There are BRILLIANT changes, like the 1/4 panels and fender stretch, then I see the tailights and the dash....
Pretty something, eh?
I would seriously like to hear this all came together. It’s like someone kept mashing the “More!” button.
No thank you........
When you finish with a car, sometimes it's done, sometimes it's overdone.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Some perspective. This is a nice looking car. That white thing is hyenas .

Being skilled at fabrication, engineering, or design does not make one an expert in all three. Kind of like actors thinking that because they're good at reading words that someone else wrote, it makes them an expert on politics... but I digress.
Those fenders are writing checks that even those wheels can't cash.
The C8 taillights don't look as out-of-place as they should, but still pretty out-of-place.
The faux diffuser fiberglassed into the rear bumper is giving me 2 Fast 2 Furious flashbacks.

It is a design blunder of extraordinary magnitude.
"So I've been thinking about building a '67 Camaro."
- "BOOOOOR-ING! The '69 has a lot more, you know, stuff on it."
"Yeah, good point. Say, do you like Stormtroopers?"
Man, tough crowd...

The listing mentions a cage with removable door bars. They probably removed the driver's door bar to clean up the sight lines in the photos. It looks like the tab they secure to on the driver's side has some wear:
