My Camaro Concept - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

GordonMuir · 03-30-2009, 07:22 PM

What do you guys think? It's based on the SS and I added 1974-77 tail lights, corvette door handles, lowered the rear, and switched up the top (and an LS7 under the hood

). I'm not a fan of the rear windows that don't roll down, plus they prevent a t-top or targa top option. I also think that Chevy was right when switching to this roofline for the 1975-02 Camaros and the 1978-present Corvette.

Welcome to the forum...

I think T-Tops would be horrible on the 5th gen, personally.

Camaro509 · 03-30-2009, 08:02 PM

I voted no, not because I dislike it horribly, just think it's a 'vette with a 5th gen front. To be honest, I haven't liked the Camaro's since 1970 to late 4th gens, personal preferences.

Camarino · 03-30-2009, 08:16 PM

not bad i can't draw for SH^^ lol
personally i think the front looks like the 2010 Camaro, The rear windshield looks like a Vette and teh rear end looks liek an 03-04 mustang lol but it's all good

LadiesMan217 · 03-30-2009, 09:09 PM

Looks like it would be a bumpy ride

(Just kidding)

Nice drawing!

Evotion · 03-30-2009, 10:19 PM

I think you draw better than me

As for what I think about the concept... The rear looks too much like the 3rd gen. which really doesnt flow well with the 5th gen front. Just my 2 cents.

dreamcamaro09 · 03-30-2009, 11:49 PM

I like it. The rear end looks like my 84 but the front looks like the 5th gen. I like the T-Tops

Thanks! I'd add them too, but for fear of leaks. Had them on my 78' and loved them, except for the leaking. But it was fun photoshopping these.

I have the 3D image planned out in my head but the concept was hated on so bad that I'm not going to waste my time. 14% approval rating at the time of this post, if it gets to 50% I will attempt the Build Your Own rear view.
