State Farm Split Camaro

Interesting slide show - one side the Camaro is perfectly restored, the other side is customized - and not quite to the same standard.

Wonder how stressed out that engine is? Probably working on only 4 cylinders, the other 4 are probably just dragging their feet. Dumb. What a waist of time and money. JMHO. PJ

Interesting exercise but why?

That's what makes the other half of your head hurt. IMO the car is ruined. Why go to sll that trouble when photoshop is just a click away. I could see Eastwood doing something like this but an insurance company?

Thanks for posting it though JP.
 
As Spock would say with a cocked eyebrow - "Facinating..." :smile:

I do wonder why they have a rally wheel on the front and bare bones hubcap on the rear of the "stock" side. And I would have continued the spoilers across the full car. They were stock or dealer add ons. I'm just sayin'..... :smile:
 
Makes you scratch your head.
 
Good example of misuse of corporate funds...as well as the misuse/mistreatment of a classic car!

:frown:

I have my home, an additional umbrella policy, and four of my vehicles insured through State Farm.

It disappoints me to see this style/example of marketing from them.

Tch, tch, tch.
 
The more I look at this fiasco, the more frustrating it becomes. Wonder what State Farm is paying to have this done? Because it's so ridiculous, the money used in this program could be used in a more appropriate way to benefit it's customers. All it seems to be doing is aggravating members of the classic car field and destroying a potentially valuable car. Oh well, just my opinion. I don't use State Farm for my classics, I do for two other vehicles though. PJ
 
Maybe I'm missing something. Didn't anyone read the reason for the project? Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Yes...I did...

<span style="font-style: italic">"In addition to serving as an eye-catching car-show display piece, this car was built by State Farm employees who love their cars, enjoy restoring cars and have fun working on cars both personally and professionally. This 1968 Camaro is being used to educate State Farm field agents on the special challenges of assigning proper values to collector cars and owner-modified vehicles. This knowledge enables the agents to accurately assess value and correctly underwrite such special-case vehicles."</span>

Still does not justify the expense to me. State Farm's classic car insurance must be playing second bananna to Hagerty, etc, if they are will to spend this kind of money on a training tool.
