Do anyone know the exact types of Camaros that were used in each of the Transformers movies for Bumblebee??

I think the first two weren't actually Camaro's, I heard something about them being modified GTO's (feel free to correct anything I say btw, I just remember hearing this somewhere) and that for the third one they actually used a Camaro SS, but modified the outside a little. That's what I heard.

Yepp, the first two were GTO's with a Camaro body kit.

Fitted and fabbed Camaro body panels onto a GTO shasis.

Why do you want to know?

Yep, I'm certain the first 2 movies were just a fabricated Camaro body on a production GTO chassis. Not sure about the third movie....probably a production Camaro SS.

I would have liked to have tried to see if i could find one anywhere, i really like the one in the second movie, but if they don't actually make them anywhere it kind of defeats the purpose

You could build them yourself. The first movie's car is the V6 front fascia with the V8 mail slot (concept style). They have rear fascia with tailpipe covers that look similar to the concept, as well. The most expensive part would be getting it painted. The color is Sunrise Yellow, a multi stage color that costs upwards of $7,000-$10,000 to be done right. If you had the money though, you could make one look almostly exact like any of the Bumblebee movie cars.

You could buy a Non RS LT and add a few modifications. It wouldn't be that hard.
