Why not get them their very own BARRICADE from the first Transformers live action film? One of three Police car Saleen Mustangs that represented Barricade in alternate mode is currently up for auction on eBay and is available for bid through tomorrow. The auction description for the car reads:Motoexotica wrote:Motoexotica is proud to offer one of only 3 custom Saleen Mustangs built by Steve Saleen for their role as 'Barricade' in the 2007 movie blockbuster "Transformers". Steve Saleen created only 3 'Barricades' for the film and this was the #2 car, also known as the camera car. It was heavily screen used in the movie due to its attention to detail and no damage. The car features all of the standard Saleen options including 3V Saleen modified engine, mated with a 5spd transmission, full Saleen body kit, Saleen hood, Saleen sail panels, Saleen rear wing, Saleen 20" wheels, Saleen leather interior, Saleen gauges, Saleen shifter, Saleen badging, Saleen suspension, Saleen exhaust, Saleen carbon fiber front chin, and Saleen carbon fiber rear diffuser.
For the film the FX department added a Police front pushbar, state of the art Police low-profile LED lightbar, front and rear strobe lights, camera mounts, Wilwood stunt brake line-lock, tinted windows, police decals, "to punish and enslave" decals, Transformers Decepticon decals, and Michael Bay's lucky number 643. All of the lights and strobes work with no problems and are operated by a control box on the right side of the center console.
The paint on the car is nearly perfect with no major imperfections. The car has been well taken care of throughout the movie as well as after. Decals are all in good condition and not peeling off. The tires all have good tread life left on them and the wheels are free of any scuffs or curb rash.
Inside, the car retains its original interior and has not been gutted like many of these movie cars. Both seats are in great condition with no wear as well as the carpet, dash, headliner and door panels. The most major modification to the car was taking off of the supercharger. Since this was a camera car that had microphones installed, the supercharger whine would have been picked up by the microphones. Due to this, the car does not have a supercharger installed currently and does not come with one.
With this vehicle being reintroduced in the 3rd Transformers film, its value is sure to go through the roof. An interesting bit of trivia is that these cars were built by Steve Saleen as the prototypes for the S281 Extreme. We have seen a lot of these movie cars and can honestly say that this is the cleanest movie car we have ever seen. It was purpose made for the movie and only has 7,200 original miles. The car is 100% street legal and is being sold on a clean, Missouri title with VIN number 1ZVFT82H755115527.
While there's little doubt that this was one of the cars in the first movie, the rumored appearance of Barricade in TF3 described in the auction details is highly suspect and very doubtful.

What he said.
If that had any truth to it, this site would have known way before some guy trying to flip the car just because he thinks he can make a few (thousand) bucks on TF3.

How is $65,000 for this stupid? This year S302 Saleen Mustang was like $80,000 new. Seems like a deal since A.) Special edition Mustangs do end up being collectables and B.) Movie props also end up being collectables and are thus worth more.
And saying you can build any car into a 1000hp+ custom car from the ground up for $65,000 is extremely innacurate.

this particular car, I would pay 65k for easily, if I could afford it without letting things go.
it's **** barricade forcryingoutloud.
I saw that new show on sy fy the other day about movie prop auctions... you would be amazed. 80k for a gun prop from "lost in space" from the 60s.
as for 1000 hp.... not many engines are even capable of that no matter how you build them... toyota supra springs to mind though.
