Looks like the poop deck of an Amphicar.

Amazing how far the manufacturers (and customizers) will go to make a new Camaro look like an old one. Once again this proves that the greatest era in American automobiles was the 1960's. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Dave,

The car was built in Pittsburgh by:

Pro Comp Custom Inc
225 Clairton Boulevard
Pleasant Hills, PA 15236-1401
(412) 653-0310

Here are a few in progress pics I snapped last Summer.

I recognized the car right away from the mods, and also the Pro Comp sign board.

I really like the grill treatment....but I would like the fender treatment if it were more subtle..I like it much better before the rear flares were done. just my opinion....

I think I'd like it better in black ....

Yikes!!!

Things were looking good w/ the front half and RS treatment but went terribly awry w/ the rear flares and more awkward quarters than a first series Hyundai Tiburon!.

On the '69 w/ 70 rear style, the tail-lites scream too far apart also the whole car almost has a 1'st gen Cougar look happening when viewed from other angles?.

The grill is awesome though... the design goes downhill quickly after you get past the front end. The rear WHOA, did they just give up?

Hey, that car is from right up the road from where I grew up.

That used to be Brougher's Speed Shop.

That place has a beautiful Nomad in the showroom.
