One of the most bizarre replicas I have seen, this VW based kit replicates a truly rare American car – the Camaro. Of course I’m being sacastic. Who bought this new? Who was the target market - hicks with no money to buy a Camaro and too much time on their hands? Who would buy it used? Why on earth would you buy a bad VW based Camaro when you could buy a bad Camaro based Camaro?
Another question is exactly who made it. I’m not posting the ebay listing out of respect to privacy, but the current owner claims, “I am not sure, but I was told that the body may have been made in Muson (Monson)Mass., by a place called KAR (Leroy Sharete maybe).” That means nothing to me however. It’s based on a 68-69 “full size” VW, and the car was last registered in 1978. It has no side or rear windows, and although now bare, the interior was once fitted with shag carpeting.

Beautiful! Just the right Camaro for an alcoholic wife-beater on a budget! Why, it won't take ANY time before THAT thing is up on concrete blocks in the front yard!
Poverty raises its ugly head once again. Although, it IS probably the ONLY "Air-Cooled-Camaro" in the world!
