Arrow NEWS: eBay find of the day: '77 Camaro from Transformers

Filed under: Auction Action, Chevrolet


Yes, that's right folks. Fresh off of last week's release of this summer's ultimate shift-your-brain-into-neutral, CGI-dominated, action-stuffed, Robogasm, the Transformers crew is auctioning off the 1977 Chevy Camaro that stole the show playing Bumblebee. You can be the envy of car geeks and movie buffs alike, and all for a good cause.

The proceeds of the auction are going to the Fisher House Foundation, which helps out veterans by building homes to accommodate the families of injured military personnel.

As of this writing, the price was just over $12,000 - a hell of a deal, even if the car was lambasted for being a beater by the oh-so-delectable Megan Fox. And considering that the star spent some time in the passenger seat, we'd consider paying top dollar for the upholstery.

Top tip JW!

Wonder if it also comes with that wild engine and the "bee-otch" air freshener?

Price has already doubled to $24,000. I realize it's a "movie star" but pretty amazing when you consider what that car would go for if it weren't Bumblebee. Here in Missouri, the $4,000 that Sam pays for him in the movie would be high. With the stock motor that's like a $2,000 car tops.

Now, the bee-otch air freshener is probably worth another 20k,

Whenever I got home after seeing the movie I looked on ebay for a yellow 2nd gen. haha, figured I could sell my truck for more now than I will be able to in a year and a half or two years and I could drive the older (cheaper) version of bumblebee until then

I was wondering the same thing...more about the engine than the air freshener though.

900 STRA, is there any meaning to that or is it just random numbers and letters?

Maybe I'll try to get that vanity plate when I pick up my Camaro...only a very select few would ever get the reference

The only thing I can get out of it is that it kinda could look like 2009 when reversed. Other than that, I couldn't tell ya.
