Many times after a movie, they will sell off the vehicles and they usually have multiples. I had this experience with the Fast and the Furious movie (I was offered the Orange Supra), so while it my sound crazy, I am trying to find away to buy Barricade or Jazz (I suspect BumbleBee went back to GM). Anybody here have any contacts I can use to try and find out if they are available?

They may not put them up for sale, especially not the hero cars. Depending on the sequal if they are "brought back" they may reuse them. I know for the second Fast & Furious they reused the supra and the Rx7

I'm gonna agree on this and say F&F cars would be a lot easier to get a hold of compared to these. I'd love me a Soltice GXP with hardtop though.

Well, instead of paying for a movie prop out the wazoo, buy a car and make your own. Paint and such. May turn up being cheaper, especially in the case of '74 BB.

That's what I was wondering. I know for the F&F movie that they had like 8 Supras, but the one used for the "glamour shots" was sold right after the movie in an auction (it ended up going to France).

That's my first question, are there multiple vehicles? If so, I'll see if I can get a contact. I know it might be cheaper to buy one of the cars and do it myself, but it usually is not that much more to get teh movie car.

(DO NOT POST A SPOILER IF THERE WILL NOT BE A NEED FOR ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN THE SEQUEL).

There may be multiple ones that are just shells on a frame for whatever shots are needed. I know from pics and trailer that there are 2 prime kenworths and 2 ratchet hummers, after that I have'nt seen any pics of multiples. And by "brought back" I mean if the characters are still used and not just bringing in a whole new cast of bad guys. I'm not mentioning potential occurances in this first movie.

I didn't mean you with the warning, I just had a feeling people would use that as away to introduce spoilers.

I think that Barricade and Jazz would be the easiest to get a hold of. The Camarro is doubtful as its not a production car yet.

Just curious, were you planning to drive these or just show them, cause driving Barricade could get you into some trouble with the real cops

Also BB isnt even a real camaro concept. He is a Pontiac GTO with a fiberglass shell.

Both. I know about the Police logo thing, you can cover it up with flypaper and the name of a town and that is legal. The word police on a vehicle isn't.

I was talking about the lights.

Robinson:I was just gonna say that! I figured the "Camarro" was just a LS2 under all that or something reasonably GM powered in production.

Believe it or not, the lights are legal...just using them isn't.

Cool. I didn't know that. Well he sure would look great next ti the NSX and EVO in the driveway...that was you right? It's been a while, but I know someone on here has good taste in cars.
