Yeaaaaaah...after seeing this ebay and thinking "sweet!" even if I couldn't buy it, I felt compelled to send them a question "Is this a working car or just the shell of a Camaro that was used for still shots?" Because it wasn't listed, and that would be a nice piece of information to have...This was the reply:

premiereprops7 is the seller.

This car is driveable and in great condition. It is the car that was used on screen in the movie and it also has the same engine you saw on screen.

Now...While I would love to be naive enough to think "OMG, **** SWEET!!!" I can't help but be reminded of the old adage "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." I don't know. I may be wrong, buuuuut with the number of times ebay has had seemingly amazing things sold that turned out to be scams, I'd be very, VERY weary of bidding on this auction. It sounds extremely fake.

I HATE TO BRING this up... but WHAT THE BLOODY Hell?

how is that a 77 when all the cars made where 76? and if you read the artical on edmuns ALL the cars that are the 76 cameros have this "All the '76 Camaros portraying Bumblebee were fitted with GM Performance Parts "350 H.O." 330-horsepower small-block V8s. With a modest 9.1:1 compression ratio, this iron-block/iron-head engine supplied adequate power for the production."

Picture 3: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Fe ... d=121138#6

a 350 H.O. I can PROMISE you that engine in the pics is not a 350 H.O... it looks like a stock block to me, also all 350 h.o. valve covers come with the bow ties....

i would be VERY weary of this look at shipping too.. thats cant be the right pice... maybe if it was a remote controll car or something...
