Radical ’70 Camaro Show Car Up for Grabs on RacingJunk.com

Some people have some really funky taste in cars. We’re talking about the guys who have so much chrome on their cars that its blinding, or such a crazy paint job that no matter what the car is, its only value is for comedic relief. Well, we found such a car on RacingJunk.com and its one that you have to see to believe.

Known as “Endless Dream” around the International Show Car Association (ISCA) circuit, this ‘70 Camaro show car was created by Ed Haney of Georgia. In its show days, the car won 10 ISCA Southeast Championships, five ISCA Northeast Championships, two ISCA Atlantic Division Championships and the 1986 Overall ISCA Champion designation.

Stemming from the show era of radical customization, the Camaro has been completely reworked with everything but the roofline tweaked.

The front end is a custom piece that incorporates the front clip and fenders, and can be removed from the car with just six bolts. The custom grill is made out of hand-cut aluminum, as is the radiator core and cross rail, which discretely holds the car’s plumbing, steering rack and fuel pump. The rear end was customized to match the front of the car, with radically manipulated body lines, custom taillights and a hand-made fiberglass wing.

Radical is putting it lightly when it comes to the customization of this '70 Camaro show car.

The Camaro sits atop a custom plate-aluminum frame with 15-inch true spoke wheels and features a House of Kolor’s Tangerine paint scheme over a gold base laid by Winston Mitchell. The custom red, yellow and purple graphics complete with mica flake were added later in the car’s life.

If you can get beyond the exterior look of the car, what you’ll find under the hood is just as avant-garde. The Camaro is fitted with a built 350cui crate engine with dual blowers and four gold-plated Weber carburetors. The engine features everything from etched components to chrome and gold plating and is attached to a Turbo 350 transmission.

Beyond that you’ll find a one-piece header and side pipe exhaust system and the rear end out of a Corvette. Practically everything on this Camaro has been etched, gold plated, chromed, painted or finished in polished aluminum (or all of the above) to match the exterior paint scheme.

Inside, the Camaro is finished off with custom upholstery, hand-carved pecan wood components, and gauges, seats and a steering wheel specifically made for the car. The interior also features a TV and a fuel cell, which is hidden between the back seat and matching trunk upholstery.

As an ISCA show car, the Camaro has only seen about 100 driven miles since its radical customization and has never been driven on the road. After 10 years of storage, the car has acquired a bit of surface build up, according to the RacingJunk.com ad and will require a new set of plugs in addition to a few minor paint fixes in order to get it to pristine show quality again.

There is no price listed for this one-of-a-kind show car, but the seller David Graham does state in his ad that the car has over $300,000 in it, $37,000 of which is in gold plating. Add that fact to the car once beating out Chip Foose’s show car in an ISCA show, and you’re probably looking at a price way more than the car is worth to guarantee a sale.

Most people would look at this car and shake their heads, but for those of you who respect this car for what it’s worth, it will be up for sale or trade on RacingJunk.com for a couple more days.
