With the 2015 SEMA Show quickly approaching, a lot of us are anticipating what kind of hardware we’ll see on display; as it’s always a treasure trove of mouth-wartering, eye-opening and revolutionary styles and designs for show goes to see. We caught an eyeful of this rad Camaro convertible last year, and to say that the photos do it no justice would be an understatement!
Starting out in life as a 2014 Camaro SS, this Z/28 tribute, complete with the Z’s front fascia, hood, fenders and a 505 hp LS7, this car was a smash at least year’s show with tons of people swarming around it! It provided a look of what a Z/28 convertible would have looked like, had Chevrolet actually put one in production.
