It’s amazing what you can find on Racingjunk.com. We take our daily morning trip through the site to see if there is any racing junk that we think we can turn into racing gold. On today’s trip through the e-auction’s aisles, we happened to find a reject from Junior Sample’s used car lot.
For those of you too young to remember Hee-Haw, used car salesman Junior “honest as the day is long” Samples in his guise as a magician called Junior the Great, would try to palm off a major ‘clunker’ then hold up a sign to remind viewers that his phone number was “BR-549”.
Samples eventually gave up the car lot and became a “consumer advocate” whose job was to save the public from dishonest people like himself. Not even “Honest” Junior Samples would touch the car that we found today.
This ’81 Camaro looks to be something out of an apocalyptic straight to video “B” movie with a nose piece similar to Michael Knight’s “KITT” car and stylish cowl hood. The hood would actually be useful if there was an engine under it. You can view the link to this auction by clicking here.
The proud owner states all the features:
“1981 Camaro with 2010 Camaro front clip (easily changed back), tubbed out with narrowed 9″ Ford rear. Weld Wheels 15″ by 14″ rear and 15″ by 3” front. Full cage.New Autometer gauges. Wilwood Disc Brakes Rear. Factory disc on front. Driveshaft loop. New double adjustable rear shocks and much more.
Can change back to an 81 model with front end swap. MUST SELL ASAP $4500 obo TAKES IT. Great project or starter car 443-398-7271 trades?”
We’re happy to hear that the car can be converted back (easily), but something tells us that even Junior Samples wouldn’t touch this car. Not even if it had an Earl Schieb’s “we’ll paint any car, any color for $100” paint job.
