That might be a tough one to sell. Unless it's already sold of course. You would have to have just the right person to come in and want the TF stuff bad enought to want it. It's not like if a person wanted a yellow camaro with ralley stripes walked in. They may need to walk out if they are just not as big a TF fan as others might be.

Very cool. I assume this is the 'official' GM Transformer Package ($900+). This will make the car more collectible a few years down the line.
I remember back in the late 70s when the Bandit T/A was made, and I thought this car was stupid and only a fool would buy it. Now those 'Bandit' editions are highly collectible. (Smokey & the Bandit is a movie for you gen Xers)

Hello!
|
Don't care for the TF stuff myself...sure there are plenty that do though and I'm sure it will sell.
Not sure on how collectable any of these Camaros will be either...Time will tell I guess but I just can't see a TF car being a collectable down the road... |

They should have had this package done before the movie came out, then it would sell better. It's not for me though.

I love the car, but not the sunroof.

The stuff looks good, but that would be way too much for me.

I wouldn't pay $1380 for the RS pkg just to get the Halo Headlights so why would I pay $1240 Canadian for a couple of special decals when I can buy similar badges on eBay for less than $5.00???
IMO, the "Bumblebee Edition" should've included the following: 1. ) True Bumblebee Colour and NOT Rally Yellow! 2. ) FULL Length GLOSS BLACK Rally Stripes ( down the front and over the spoiler. 3. ) Ebony interior with only Yellow seating surfaces and not the whole front of the seats like on the beige interiors. 4. ) Dale Jr. Sema Wheels. For this, I would've gladly paid $2500 over the price of the base LT or SS. $900 for what you get .... IMO really doesn't make sense when I'm sure there will be a lot of members here who will come up with better ideas on their own. |

Somewhat on topic... a 2010 Mustang parked next to me last night at our local car cruise with a hayuuge Decepticon badge on the fender and more Decepticon badging on the back gas cap. It wasn't black (like the cop-car in the TF movie) and also had more louvers on it than a Louisana Plantation house... For those that noticed it, I overheard a few comments "eww, that's kinda cheesy looking don't ya think". I'm not slamming, just reporting some observations. Anyways.. to each their own.
