Certainly different. Notice how all the air vents are blocked?

I have had a look at that car it would have been a very tuff looking car in its day with the Simmons, flared guards, and Recaro interior and it has a custom made targa top that leaks badly and there is a Sh#t load of body filler in it.

I can understand how they may have wanted to think from the inside that they were driving a Ford rather than the Chev, but to use an dash out of an XD???? Would have atleast used one from a Mustang dash..lol Seriously however, I actually thought the original Camaro dash looked ok. 'Had to be there' type of thing I think...
