[The_Blur]

It's valued at $40k. I'd rather get a production Camaro painted like Bumblebee.

My info: from: May issue of Muscle Car review

AND google.... Chrysler Weblog:

« Chrysler Humor: CarTOONS cover the Auto ShowBarrett-Jackson: 2008 Plymouth ‘CUDA Concept goes for $145K »Barrett-Jackson: John Schneider’s 1969 Dodge Charger goes for $450KFrom the article:”A beautiful, bright orange 1969 Dodge Charger, Bo’s General Lee is quite possibly the most famous, filmed and photographed incarnate of the most recognizable car in the world. Built by John Schneider, Bo Duke himself, for the CBS television reunion movies. This car hit the ground running.



Originally a 383, Bo’s General now houses a 511 HEMI power plant that was purchased as a crate motor and “tweaked” by John Aruzza of Aruzza High Performance. The 727 transmission by Herb McCandles puts out 610 ft pounds of torque to the modified DANA 60 rear end. A Gear Vendors installation effectively gives the 725hp plant 6 forward gears. Suspension is by Hotchkiss Suspension and the frame tie steel takes all of the flex out of this original uni-body chassis and makes it run totally flat through the corners in the many film roles this car has performed. Stainless steel exhaust by John’s friends at K & N Racing make the throatiest sound ever. Bob Mazolini worked some magic on the motor as well. Here are the specs: HEMI 118 over bridge to bridge and he’s right there. Rear end: 3.1 ratio. Close. Cam is Comp solid lifter 24-308-4, .557 lift, .540 exhaust, 108 lope center, valves set at: duration at .50 is 250, intake .020 and exhaust .024.



Featured in “Dukes of Hazard” TV reunion movie, “The Dukes Go To Hollywood”, “Collier & Co” and “Hot Pursuit!” sans flag, numbers and front push bar. The car has also been featured in “Car and Driver” magazine where it was tested and won all events against the “Starsky and Hutch” car, Kitt from “Knightrider”, the Batmobile and the BOSS Mustang from the latest version of “Gone in 60 Seconds.” Bo’s General has been completed in the Silver State Classic Challenge 7 times, entering in this timed race with target speeds of 110, 115, 120 and 125. John’s top speed in the car, which disqualified him from the race, was 165. “He wanted me to go faster! It was like he wasn’t even breathing hard!” Said John. Bo’s General also had the cover of “Mopar Collector’s Guide” twice and has been featured on talk shows from “Donnie and Marie” to “Vibe.” It’s arguable that there is no more talked about muscle car on the planet. Also featured on cover of “Mopar Collector’s Guide”.”

Of course, This article says the high bidder was fishbashr1.
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/09/b...out-on-10-mil/

Regardless who the bidder was, the 10M is a no...

wow that sucks, I figured he may have sold more than 1.

[TAG UR IT]

Yeah...what a punk for doing that.

And, for this thread. I wouldn't bid on BB from the movie. It isn't a production Camaro that I could drive everyday. If money wasn't an object, well, that would then be a different story. However, since we are just talking here, I'm betting that it would go for well over 100K....well over...Just look at the 77 BB Camaro. Didn't that go for something like $45K???

[Moose]

Although I'd think Bumblebee would be a great addition to one's collection, if I had the money, I'd first bid on the following Camaro(s);

1. Yenko
2. ZL1
3. COPO
4. Baldwin Motion

Meh; it's a GTO that Saleen screwed together. With all the poopoo he had to say about it, I'm not sure it's too high a quality. I'll take my Z28 and paint it to match instead.

[The_Stache]

Ill give you $98.00. Exactly what it costs for me to fill up my gas tank.

This would be by far the best approach. It would be cheaper and you'd still have a factory warranty and excellent build quality as opposed to a one off creation with no warranty and suspect build quality.
