- An unfinished build based on a 1996 Honda Civic is up for sale in Georgia.
- The Japanese hatchback has a custom face inspired by the Chevy Camaro.
- It was designed for Sport Compact Dirt Racing, but it’s missing an engine.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a project car that’s more “work in progress” than “road-ready,” then have I got the deal for you. Listed for sale in Georgia is a half-finished build based on a 1996 Honda Civic EK hatchback. Well, “based on” might be a stretch, as the Civic’s only contribution to this project is the shell.

if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8”);

}

The car is built on a 1996 Honda Civic EK hatchback, but you’d be hard-pressed to find much of the original donor car still intact. Gone are the engine, hood, glass, tailgate, lighting units, and interior. What is left, however, is a custom front end inspired by the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro SS.

The face swap features a prominent splitter and cut-out bumper intakes, but the space typically reserved for the Camaro’s grille and headlights is completely blocked off. The car’s high ground clearance and steel wheels add to its quirky appearance, though swapping in a new set of wheels and spacers could quickly give it a more polished look.
Additional modifications include welded doors, a door handle delete, panels replacing the rear windows, and a massive rear spoiler that extends all the way from the roof. The absence of taillights and a tailgate has left a wide opening at the rear, offering unrestricted access to the interior.

The cabin is as spartan as it gets, with no seats, harnesses, dashboard, or any kind of trim or upholstery. But hey, you do get a steering wheel, pedals, a gear shifter, and a few gauges. More importantly, there’s a steel roll cage for added protection in the event of an accident.
The “post-apocalyptic” stance of this Camaro Civic starts to make sense when you remember it was built for Sport Compact Dirt Racing. According to the owner, the car comes with a “solid build” that includes an ECU from a 2004 Honda Accord and a matching 5-speed manual gearbox. These components would pair nicely with a K24 2.0-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine, which could breathe some life into this otherwise empty shell.

According to the listing on Facebook Marketplace (which you can check out here), the car is located in Box Springs, Georgia. The seller is asking $2,000 or best offer, so there’s room for negotiation. However, any potential buyers should be prepared for the additional work required to make this Camaro Civic driveable, let alone street-legal.

With the sixth-gen Camaro discontinued and no official word on a successor, muscle car fans are left searching for alternatives. While the Dodge Charger and Ford Mustang are the obvious choices, a Camaro Civic is definitely more… unique. The only problem is that you will have to finish it by yourself.
