A new for-sale listing out of Las Vegas has surfaced showing off something rather unusual. Say hello to the 1991 Ford “Tamaro SS,” a one-of-a-kind, home-brewed creation that marries a 1991 Ford Taurus sedan with a smattering of Chevy Camaro bodywork, producing something totally unique. Priced at $1,997, it’s sure to turn heads – for one reason or another.
“I’ve owned this car since 2001, yes 23 years,” reads the listing. The seller explains that it’s built on a 1991 Ford Taurus platform with the company’s Vulcan 3.0 V6 engine under the hood. While the engine remains original, the transmission was replaced prior to the seller’s ownership.
“I’m a mechanic, and car guy, so it’s reliable,” the listing reads. “Good brakes, fully serviced and tires have 70 percent tread.”
From the outside, this vehicle will make you do a double take. The front end mimics the design of a fifth-generation Chevy Camaro, with horizontal grille slats added across the upper and lower air intakes, completely hiding the headlight housings. A custom cowl hood further amplifies the Camaro inspiration. Yet, as you move toward the sides, you’ll be greeted with the unmistakably boxy, four-door profile of a Ford Taurus, complete with polished split-spoke wheels.
A custom “Tamaro” badge is positioned on the doors between custom black stripes that continue the sporty theme. The rear carries the look further with Camaro-style square taillights integrated into additional black striping, while four (likely cosmetic) exhaust pipes and a Chevy Bow Tie badge (now with Ford script inside) finish the Ford-Chevy mashup.
The exterior is finished in bright red paint with plenty of metal flake throughout, complemented by black accents with similar sparkle. Inside, there’s a single photo showing custom diamond-stitched upholstery with faux wood trim and ambient red lighting.
With 283,000 miles on the clock, this homebuilt Ford-Camaro was definitely a labor of love. It’s also undoubtedly a conversation piece.
