ebay find of the week: this is just cool as heck
This car is unfortunately not described very accurately because the owner died, but WOW is it cool. It has Z06 style wheels, F-1 ground effects (front piece is Wings West), an SS hood (might be F-1 related, but don't know for sure), and silver stripes (almost definitely part of the F1 deal). I sent the seller a more detailed list of corrections just b/c it's such a cool car.
Anyway, really awesome car full of parts that are no longer available from the aftermarket.

Looking at this car a second time, I'm just kind of drooling... This is the best "home-made" modified Camaro I've seen in a really long time. The extremely low mileage doesn't hurt either. This car would be so cool if it had the light gray cloth interior to compliment the stripes. Those stripes... look incredible...

I think that's the first black 97 I've seen with the tan cloth. Actually, it's the only 97 I've seen with tan cloth period. Anyone happen to catch that someone went so far as to paint the whole undercarriage? There's none of the factory primer showing anywhere. Look at any other f-body, and you'll see the primer and overspray of the paint color on the floors, especially on the spare tire well and right behind the rear seat area of the pan. Impressive to say the least...

Yeah, looking under a silver car won't illustrate my point well. Check out some install pics of subframe connectors and such on UMI's website. You can clearly see that parts of the undercarriage don't have paint on em. Maybe i'll crawl my *** under the TA after work and snap a pic for ya. I mean, I could be wrong, but I don't see why a black car would be any different than others, in terms of the overspray and such. EDIT: Post 8 in the" post your true dual setup" in the exhaust forum shows some of what im talking about. See how the driveshaft tunnel is grey; with body colored overspray?

Car looks amazing, only two changes I'd make: 1, no rivets on the rims, I personally never liked rivets on rims 'cause I think they look tacky, but i love the black C5 Z06 with the machined lip. That color setup for rims looks awesome on black cars. 2, not a big fan of those headlight covers, I prefer the smooth ones over the ones pictured. I'd have either used those or just left 'em alone. Sweet car though.
