WOW , this guys fab skills are amazing

The car in the pictures is a 88 Iroc-Z covertible , believe it or not . He has an entire 2000 Camaro interior , fully functional . Adapted 4th gen front suspension , FENDER LINERS !! and shock towers , LS1/t56 , ABS system , all electronics and wiring are from the same 2000 doner car .

IMO , best of both worlds . Great looks of the 3rd gen with the mechanicals and interior of a 4th . I wish I had more pics of the car .

It does look factory and professional work. This car looks flawless. The interior looks like it was put in from the factory.

I was wondering what kinda headlights those are? Maybe from a late 80's Monte? Or a early 90's Caprice?

that is pretty sweet considering that would be probably the only reason i wouldn't want a 3rd gen they have one of the ugliest interiors not that any gen of camaro has a nice one with all the cheapo plastic crap

Wow, that's quite cool... guy did a great job on it!

I'm thinking those headlights are from an early 90s Caprice... but that's a guess.

That is just amazing. In the 3rd gen threads, It showed a pic of his car with an LT1 engine, and someone posted a Super Chevy pic of the car with a different interior. This guy must update his Camaro all the time! He must also have some big bucks, as well.

I honestly don't like the headlights, I like the 4 seperate ones instead. That's about it. Everything else is ****ing awesome!

He did one hell of a job swaping out the car, But i personally liked the third gens interior for what it was. I thought it fit in better with the older styling.

Found some more pics....

It turns out that the headlights are from a 1987 Monte Carlo European Export Edition and are almost impossible to find in the states.
