Pics from the LA Auto Show (Red Camaro)

Ok, if I am missing the post these are supposed to go in I am sorry. Just wanted to get these up there for others to see.

Let me say I LOVED THE CAR in person!!!! Wasn't 100% sold from the spy photos but in person even the wife agreed we are buying it.

Here's the photos (sorry if they aren't the best, the damn thing was spinning on a pedestal with an *** load of people around it, about 20 times more people than were around the GT500 by the way!):





















You can tell it was totally a thrown together "push-car". Hell, the CAMARO badge is in the wrong place (to high on the fender compared to the Detroit car).

Still it looked AWESOME to see in person! I'd have bought it on the spot, debadged it, stuck blue-bowties in the place of the gold ones, put a 150wet-shot on it and driven it home!

Yea it looked good. I wish it was the running and interior clad one that the NAIAS had but we'll take it. Someone asked the model to open the car and she said she didn't have the keys....

Oh man. That looks even better than I thought it did before. It is strange how some pics make the front end not as pointy. But I love the point. Also, that shade of red is really nice. Perfect nice. I want it just like that but with some stripes.

It was INCREDIBLE in person!

I went back to see it THREE times. The third time pissed the wife off and she sat in the hall pouting (we were on the other end of the convention center at the time) but I went anyways and it was SOOOO worth it !

Yeah. I did the same thing. Except it was the (ex)wife that pissed me off. She had to stop for startbucks before we made our way over to it! I hated starbucks before that, then it was 10 times worse when it interfered with my Camaro day. But we spent 75% of out time at the show near the Camaro. It was so sexy. Love these pictures. Mine came out like crap. So thanks, no I'll post these just like my own. lol.

that's cause the door doesn't open! It's a fiberglass model of the Camaro Concept. You can see what appears to be head restraints, a steering wheel, and an I.P......however, they're fiberglass, too and end just below the beltline...where everything becomes flat as a sheet of wood (which is what the head restraints/IP/steering wheel are sitting on/attached to.)

Pretty good model, no????

I think he knew that and just thought it was funny that she said that (hence the roll eyes).

Regardless, I'd love to get my hands on those molds

It is an AWESOME car Scott, EXCELLENT job!

Re: Pics from the LA Auto Show (Red Camaro)

It might be my screen but that looks more hugger orange than red.......though it might share some similarites to Torch Red that the vette used to use.

Though those are some great pics though.....I gotta question 5LITEREATER..........You got a 98 NBM Camaro but you have a LT1 early 4th gen and it's most likley Medium Quasar Blue (which is a fav of mine) in your avatar...Is that your car or just someone elses? If it is that's a nice looking ride man!

It was my first V8. A 1994 Z28 that I painted Electron Blue (from the Vette). I've had 4 F-bodies since then (not including the current) and just never changed the avatar.

BTW the fluorescent lights mixed with the digital camera caused the Hugger Orange appearance. It was pretty red in person.

Electron blue looks pretty wicked on your first one dude!. And I should have known it might have just been the lighting causing it too look orange but some nice pics you got none the less. I'd love to see a few bigger pics of your first one in Electron Blue.......
