Not what I was expecting.

Did the "1964 Camero" part throw you?

What the he!! is that? I consider myself fairly well versed, but no! Kind of Corvair looking, but the engine is too far rearward for that.

Corvair based I believe.

Kinda dig it.

That project was abandoned a LOOONNGG time ago. But I'm strangely intrigued by it. Someone (not me) should buy it.

Camerovair.

If that thing wasn't such obvious lawn art, it would be awe-inspiring Challenge fodder. But it would take $1000 worth of penetrating oil to get that engine to turn over, let alone the rest of the crap it so clearly needs to even run, much less compete.

I don't hate it. I can see the potential. Someone should really buy it.

It looks more like an el camino than a Camaro. But yeah. Someone should do this.

that.is.awesome.

I love it.

I dig it...that has potential to be an incredible ride.

Not with my skill set, but still.

I say rattle can it flat black, add a set of Zoomies, and only drive it when dressed as your favorite Mad Max character.

I'm still struggling to identify what, if anything on that car is from 1964.

Possibly this was used as the basis for it?

Well that's certainly the damnedest thing I've seen today.

In reply to petegossett:

No, it started life as a corvair for sure.

Yes, yes, and yes. But as long as "someone" is not me.

I like it, in a very weird way. And that's no "429". That's a Olds Big Block! With three carbs!

In reply to SilverFleet:

Probably a early Toronado powertrain if you think it's an Olds. So 425, 455, or 403. If it's a Cadillac Eldorado setup it could be a 429, those were available 67 only (first year) or a 472/500.

In reply to Kenny_McCormic:

That's definitely 100% a Big Block Olds, so it's either a 400, 425, or 455. I also think that it's a Toronado's 425 or 455. The 403 is a small block, and I can tell just by looking at the intake that it's definitely not a small block. Also, a 403 will not have all 10 valve cover bolts unless someone swapped the heads. The tri-power setup alone is worth probably half the asking price of this car! Pretty sure those only came on the 442 W30 in 1966-67.
