1973 Chevy Camaro Dune Buggy Is So Unnecessary, But Kind Of Cool: Craigslist Find

Maybe you shouldn’t take this 1973 Chevrolet Camaro to normal places a dune buggy would go, but you can try. It certainly doesn’t look as if it’s the right machine for some off-road sand blasting.

However, it is kind of cool. We peg the front end parts to be from a 1973 Camaro, judging by the grille and headlamp assembly, but the rear is a weird mashup of C3 Corvette, too. This may be one of the strangest Craigslist finds we’ve seen in a long time.

The seller states the Camaro kit car/dune buggy is “very rare” (because of course it is) and is powered by a 1500 cc engine. The seller also has a real Volkswagen dune buggy for sale as well and is looking to let both of these oddball machines go for $5,000.

If just the Camaro-Corvette mashup strikes your fancy, it’s only $3,500 or best offer.

  1. This was based on the old Model Kits from Revell called ZIngers.

    I am not sure if this was one of the original show cars but it could be as they constructed many of the cars to appear at autorama like shows each winter. Many were built by a shop in Detroit. Some were rollers and some were drivers.

    I am thinking this one is a knock off as the quality of the originals were pretty good and this one is more basic around the windshield.

  2. The car was built in newton Ma. B&d auton and a man named frank. I don’t remember his name and I put this car together. I put the VW insignia on it on the drovers side to cover a ding. I had a Porsche engine in it and it had cut down corvette side pipes that really worked on it
    Great to see it still lives. I’ll give you $1599.00 for it
