So I was browsing eBay last night and saw this. What do you think it is?

It looks like a base line 1968 Camaro with a 1975 Ford Pinto Panel wagon rear roof poorly welded on.

This is 1968 Camaro...



This is the Pinto...

Just noticed that its front wheel wells are 1968s and the rear wheel wells are 1969s. WTF

This '69 is a little better done, should be very cool when finished (rendering at end of video).

Camaro shouldn't even be a wagon. It's a Muscle CAR!

Hack job looks to be a 69 Camaro main body- Vega panel wagon roof section -67 Camaro front clip and tail lights.

Bidding is up to $1950.00?
Damn.

I had a 75 Vega panel wagon I bought for $400 in 1979, I put $400 into it in paint and tires and sold it a year later for $1600.

Stumbled on this post... Something oddly mesmerizing about the rendering. Maybe because I was a big Nomad fan.

Similar story here... Had a 1972 Vega Hatchback, bought it for $200 dollars. I replaced the blown head gasket and drove it for about 3 months. I had dreams to create a V-8 Vega out of it. That is until I was offered $750 for it. I needed the money. Wish I had that thing now.

If you get the book about the history of the Camaro you can see GM actually had clay full sized mock ups of a 70 Camaro and Firebird wagons. I think they eventually made a running version of the Firebird.
