There seems to be no shortage of odd, interesting cars for sale, but this 1969 Camaro converted into a tricycle stands out from the crowd. We’ve covered some true Frankenstein builds, but this thing really takes the cake with parts cobbled together from several rides to create something that definitely isn’t for everyone. But you could garage this thing since it’s available for purchase right now.
This 1968 Shelby GT500 is really a BMW M3.
Right up front, the owner of this rare oddity admits it’s still a work in progress, just they have “too many projects to finish” so it’s time to offload this one. Interpret that however you like, if you’re serious about this ride it would be best to get details about what needs to be completed.
In other words, if you don’t like to wrench or pay someone else to do some creative work, this probably isn’t the vehicle for you.
Just so everyone is clear, this car was never actually a Camaro. That’s right, the front end and doors are fiberglass replicas purchased specifically for the build. If you look closely enough you’ll see that’s plainly obvious, although in finished form it will be less that way once you put all the finished details on there.
Under the skin, this is a 1998 Honda Valkyrie, which has a nice flat-six engine for better performance than you’d get out of a lot of motorcycle engines. The seller is honest that it doesn’t run right now, attributing that to the carbs, which apparently need to be rebuilt.
The front suspension was donated by a Volkswagen and there are disc brakes. You can see in the photos the rear has a swingarm. How this Camaro Tricycle handles is a mystery, but we can imagine you would get a ton of stares and people taking photos wherever you take this thing. For some, that alone makes any compromises more than worth it.
