Anyone thought of building a completely aftermarket 68 camaro?

>>17815157
What is VIN?

>>17815170
You don't need one in the US, register under special construction.

Either way, it's not worth the effort. Aftermarket parts, especially body parts, don't snap together like legos. It's not worth spending thousands of hours trying to get a body together and straight when there's shittons of the cars out there already.

why yes they have

look into promods

>>17815170
Some company is making new reproduction bodies. I don't know how the VIN is handled, but yes, you can buy a brand spanking new 68 Camaro with 0 miles on it.

Of course, you have to put it together, or pay someone else to do it for you. It's not like the parts aren't plentiful though. I'd imagine you could have it running for about $50k, give or take.

>>17815177
Figured as much I was just curious.

>>17815177
>register under special construction.
What is emissions? What is crash safety standards?

>>17815251
I don't know the specifics myself, but something you built doesn't require much. Or if it's a unibody built with an unused vin, then it is a 1968 or whatever and only has to meet those standards.

>>17815251
>What is emissions? What is crash safety standards?
Two things that do not apply to special construction vehicles. Maybe you should look it up before posting.

>>17815157
liek a corvette?

>>17815157
No because first gens are objectively garbage

>>17815383
1st gen is sexy and slow
2nd gen is ugly and slow
3rd gen is ugly but decent performance
4th gen is ugly but decent performance
5th gen is ugly but good performance

dunno senpaitachi its alright

>>17815404
First gens are also heavily boomer taxed. I could buy and build a turd gen to be somewhat competitive with modern cars for about the same as getting into a first gen that isn't a giant pile of rust.

>>17815417
yeah but I dont think its worth to call it garbage just because people want 30 grand on the low side for one

you dont really buy the first gen for performance at least most dont

>>17815383
The entire point of aftermarket is to re-engineer the suspension and put an aluminum smallblock in, though.

doesnt stop it from looking like one

>>17815487
lol those look even worse

Id take the either Vega over either Camaro

>>17815495
you sould like a salty faggot

2nd gens are fugly all there is to it I dont care about whats imitating what

>>17815512
You fucking clown, neck yourself.

>>17815520
how fanboy can you get?

>>17815512
Make sure you get one with a good motor, they were the original head gasket meme car since they had aluminum liners with an iron head, on a shitbox that everyone drove into the ground and let overheat.

>>17815533
>Make sure you get one with a good motor,

who keeps the original engine in a Vega

best thing about it is the fact that you can get a SBC in a car weighing under 2900 lbs (and probably die because you dont have a cage and on stock suspension)

>>17815553
Someone with a cosworth Vega like the one you posted?

>>17815533
Not an issue gonna BBC it.

>>17815558
its been done before just a Vega after all

>>17815584
Why cannibalize a low production special edition that the entire point of is the special engine for an engine swap when a regular one will be much cheaper and less sacrilegious?

engine already shot?

its easier and cheaper to find a SBC than a Cosworth 16v

I bet a lot were swapped over the past 40 years because fuck 4 cylinders Bubba wants to go fast

I mean if all was perfect in this world and I had a Cosworth Vega Id swap a BDG if anything

I wouldve actually had one but the guy sold it and didnt take the ad down ;_;

confirmed for shit taste
Even Ferrari designer Pininfarina loved the looks of the second gen Camaro

Fifth gen looks too much like the first gen to be ugly.

What year did Pininfarina talk about though? I mean, it got extensive visual treatment throughout the years, including a wraparound rear window starting in 74 or 75. Late rear with early front might be the sexiest combination.

The fifth gen is one of the many "retro" Detroit designs that completely suck, alongside the absolutely awful looking early fifth gen Mustang. At least the fourth gen, in Camaro and Mustang alike, tried something new and tried to be innovative, not regressive.

>>17815944
its fast and bulbous
if it was just fast Id like it

>>17815962
3rd gen first, actually.

Yeah it's called a clone

>>17815962
Your opinion completely sucks.

>>17816460
A clone isn't built entirely from aftermarket parts, it's a base model that a boomer payed someone to put stripes and badges from a desirable model on
