That scream you just heard? New Camaro owner or Camaro fanatic who saw what was done to this new Camaro, deliberately.

Found on http://alexandremachado.blogspot.com/2011/05/camaro-rat-rod.html
who found it on Jalopnik who had this article from Justin Hyde:
There are hot rods. There are rat rods. Then there's this: A new Camaro SS that's been speed-rusted and deglossed into junkyard condition while getting a 1,000-hp supercharged engine — and it only cost $150,000.
Long Island hot rodders Dave Sherer and Anthony Musilli often show off their well-restored rides during Hot Rod magazine's annual Power Tour. For this year tour with the 2010 Camaro's owner Bill Rombauts, Sherer said they wanted something no one would expect.
"Because no one else has the balls to do it," Sherer told Jalopnik. "Everyone else is making them clean."
The exterior took about a week of non-stop labor to transform from showcar state to Craigslist concours. Beyond just grinding off paint, the team rubbed salt on the open metal to speed rust, repainted and sanded some areas for better colors, and kicked dents into the trim for that put-away-wet look. The hood is slightly misaligned, the badges are off and the grille's broken.

Appears to be two tone horn on the near fender, and a klaxon or ooga on the far fender
Great multiuse wrench inside the spare
Never see tire pumps anymore
Flashlight and flyswatter... have you ever seen a car with a flyswatter?
Skeleton keys and a beer can opener
Cool floor panels and map holder
Nice luggage, but in the above you see on the right hand area in front of the round Blatz you'll see a rusted tin can... it's the communications microphone to the rear passengers on the rumble seat, it's connected with twine to another can 3 photographs below
Above: The turn signal
Below, the passenger tin can telephone, on the top is the hinge that allows the flap to be lifted so the passengers can talk into it Looks like a 91 octane requirement notice
Fixes exhaust leak every time

Paul Garrett didn't build this car, he bought it. Truth in advertising, if Garrett and Sons aren't honest about that, are you going to buy from them?
