Someone Put A Camaro Nose, Cadillac Grille, And S10 Bed Onto A Postal Jeep And I’m Totally Obsessed

It’s hard to show me a backyard build that truly impresses me anymore. I’ve spent too many years on the internet writing about cars; I’ve seen it all! Or so I thought. No, yesterday while browsing the interwebs I spotted one of the most puzzlingly hilarious vehicle builds I’ve ever seen, and the fact that it is legal on U.S. roads just makes me laugh. Behold the 1982 “S-Jeepamaro hellifiknow.”

Let’s break down the name a bit. The “S” is there because there’s a 1988 Chevy S10 pickup truck bed on the back. The “Jeep” is there because the cab is from a 1982 Postal Jeep. The “amaro” refers to the 1974 Camaro front clip. And the “hellifiknow” refers to how baffling this thing is, with its Cadillac grille and awkwardly amazing proportions.

“It is sitting on the S10 frame with a 350 V8 engine and a 350 turbo automatic transmission,” the Facebook Marketplace listing reads. “Runs and drives really well with lots of power. The only thing it needs to be a daily is the lights wired up.”

I’m going to quote that again: “The only thing it needs to be a daily…”

Hell yeah. I respect that.

“It has a Holley carb and new brakes. It is for sale or trade… Unfortunately I am afraid that brain cells were damaged in the making of this substance abused, late night, weekend, stress related, cry for help, rebellious, cartoon inspired, poor decision making backyard creation!” Sure, but many of the greatest artists made their masterpieces in less-than-optimal headspaces, so this sort of tracks.

As you can see in the images above, the Postal Jeep’s rear door has been retained (but trimmed), and swings open over the floor of the S10 bed. The taillight housings are wide open; I’d probably shove some lights in there for good measure if it were me.

You can see that both the Camaro front clip and the S10 bed are significantly wider than the Postal Jeep mid-section, so they sort of “blend” inward, giving the vehicle a bit of a sporty Coke-bottle shape. Sort of.

The front is amazing. The modern Cadillac grille just works on that 1974 Camaro face. And the slim nose on the giant boxy cab just creates this amazing awkwardness that I can’t stop looking at:

Here’s a look at the motor, if you’re curios. Click the listing to hear it idle (it sounds decent, actually).

And here are a few close-up shots to show some…interesting build quality:

It’s a masterpiece in its own way, even if there appears to be an unused engine mount behind that front left wheel.

No thank you.

We all knew the only corner of the internet that this could have possibly come from based only on the picture. Reading the listing would just distract from the amazing aura radiating off this glorious pile of crap.

Despite the Cadillac badge, that front end is 100% Chevy Vega. Why not call out the Vega – is it that much worse than the Postal Jeep and S10? And finding Vega sheet metal that has not rusted into nothingness.

It’s amazing the time and effort and money that people expend doing stuff.

I choose to fart in this thing’s general direction. Several times over.

God this thing is cunked. This was definitely a “Fuck it, let’s go” build powered by a stack of abandoned cars behind the shed, six years worth of Smooth 100s and Coors Lights, and access to a welder received from a friend who got sent to jail and he didn’t want his girlfriend selling his stuff before he got out

Looks like a mudskipper, but props for imagination. Perhaps, DT, you should consider combining what’s left of your personal junkya … fleet into one novel vehicle.
