I can't believe people are actually bidding on this thing, this mini batmobile. Incredible.

Notice they don't have any pics of the inside of the bed/ back of the cab area. probably a hack piece judging from the back.

Well I don't know why anyone would put Monte Carlo stock wheels on a Trans AM or use Camaro rear quarter panels (evidenced by the rear wraparound taillights) but to each his own.

As for the hatch mods. It's likely they had a blown out rear hatch which can be expensive and hard to find these days. Wouldn't take much to just remove the hatch and put in filler pieces. In fact I remember a fiberglass kit that was available to make 3rd gen F-bodies look more like a 69 Corvette in the rear.

My guess is that it's a combination of the front end of of Firebird (not convinced it's a TA) and the rear of a Camaro.

No big deal there but I wouldn't buy it.

This might well have been a refugee from a scrap yard.

Cut off the '49 Ford F 100 bed rails and round off the thing around the whole rear and it might be sort of an ok Ute look alike one of a kind job. As far as I'm concerned, to each his own, however to me, its pimply butt UGLY
