This 1969 Camaro is living proof that some people’s creativity knows no bounds.
The muscle car, which has been converted into a tricycle, certainly stands out from the crowd.
Best described as a Frankenstein build, it’s made up of parts cobbled together from several rides.
Although it’s not for everyone, if it tickles your fancy, you could get your hands on it, as it’s currently listed on Facebook Marketplace for sale.

If buying Camaros on Marketplace is anything to go by, maybe it’s best avoided, as this man bought ‘the world’s worst 69 Camaro’ on the Facebook and revealed what he found.
Camaros also seem to the a hotbed for creativity, as a woman in California sold a street-legal Chevy Camaro golf cart on Marketplace.
The Camaro on Marketplace
The owner of this rare oddity has been upfront about the project, admitting it’s still a work in progress and that they have ‘too many projects to finish’ – therefore, it’s time to offload this one.
Unfortunately, the owner hasn’t divulged what is needed to get it finished off, but it’s fair to say that if you’re not handy or aren’t willing to pay someone else, this probably isn’t the vehicle for you.
The specifics
Just for clarity, this unique vehicle was never actually a Camaro; the front end and doors are fibreglass replicas.
If you’re knowledgeable about muscle cars, you may have already known that – but when it’s finished, it may be less obvious.
What actually lies under the skin is a 1998 Honda Valkyrie, which has a flat-six engine providing better performance than you’d get out of a lot of motorcycle engines.
What the seller does say, though, is that the engine isn’t running right now, attributing that to the carbs, which apparently need rebuilding.
As for other parts, the front suspension was donated by a Volkswagen, there are disc brakes, and it even has a swing arm at the rear.
As for how it handles, well that’s a mystery – but you’re guaranteed to turn a few heads everywhere you go in this thing.
