Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

Saw this on Facebook today. Kinda cool - kinda not. :neutral:
Wondering if anybody has seen this thing and is it really a ZR-1???

Judging by the rear bumper it does look like a ZR1 rear end.
However, the rear wheels don't appear to be the ZR1 depth, the lugs are way too close to the top.

No way to tell for sure without popping the hood, though.
Could go either way.

All I can say is "I DIDN'T DO IT!!!!!"

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

Well, that's kinda different.

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

not a zr-1

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

Didn't that car burn to the ground?

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

If you tell me where it currently resides, I'll make that happen!

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

OK, I'm calm now. I googled "ZR-1 el camino" and learned that it is actually an '84 Vette. PHEW!!

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

Different "Vettamino" burned, Lee. This menace is still alive.

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

It needs to :eek:

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

Maybe in the Redmond WA vicinity!

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

I still don't understand why someone would put a "ZR-1" badge
on a non ZR-1? Maybe I'll put a Bugatti badge on my Z - that'll
sure fool them!

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

The same reason they put SS badges on non-SS's.

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

The one in the UK burnt

I would buy this and drive it.. Although it would need a LS motor instead of the Crossfire..

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

What can I say? I like it,having owned three El Caminos,the last two serious hotrods.

More Information :p

"Who needs a Pontiac G8 ST when you can have a bitchin' camino-ized C4 Corvette ZR-1? Nobody that's who. Fortunately for our still beating hearts, this is not really a ZR-1 turned truck/car — it's an '84 Vette smooshed together with a '91 with custom molds and bodywork to create that smooth Vettamino effect. According to ClassyAuto (misnomer?) this was the brainchild of the original owner of Bayliner Boats and took over $115K to create. Wow, that's camino love right there. We have no idea how up to date their website is, but the sale price at one time at least was a steal at $35,000... cough, cough, choke.... WHAT!"

Well that makes me feel better... #notaZR-1
I have to admit it looks like it was nicely done - not just a hack job. Would be kinda wierd seeing that with a 4 wheeler in the back though... :p

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

Ah...I dunno. I too had issues with deciding between a truck and a Corvette. so I put a solid lifter, 427 BBC and a Muncie 4-speed into my restored 90 'Elie Camino' (my kids called it). But, in spite of that, I say BURN IT!

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

I kinda like it. But I don't like the ZR-1 badging if it's not.

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

I like it. Great way to resurrect a car that would be otherwise scrapped and make a seriously cool shop truck/parts runner. Is it for sale somewhere?

Re: Dunno What To Think Of This...
 

I have always been a Alky fan.

Yes, I do like it. It would have to be a big block though.
366 Tall deck so I can wind it up to 8K rpm.
