[quote]2005 Saleen Mustang - "Barricade" from Transformers
Miles: 4,550
Vin# 1ZVFT82H755115527
This is actually the screen used V8 Barricade as seen in the Movie Transfomers! Great main character movie car! There were only three of these cars built for the movie! Excellent long term collectible….
One of the most recognizable and cult classic Mustangs ever built. Right up there with the “Bullitt” car and the “Gone in 60 Seconds” Mustang! Don’t pass on a chance to own a serious piece of movie history!
Saleen Inc. teamed up with DreamWorks and Hasbro to design and produce several vehicles for the hit movie “Transformers.” After months of conceptual development, Saleen’s Troy production facility took numerous black-on-black S281 Extremes right off of the production line to star as Decepticon hunter, “Barricade,” in the movie.
The movie car built as “Barricade” was constructed as a Saleen and to give the character its evil alter ego, Dream Works also outfitted each Extreme as a Decepticon police car, including a push bar, white doors, emergency lights and Transformers/Police badging.
Condition: Is in very good condition with some minimal screen use wear. Drives and handles excellent. Powered by a Mustang 4.6 liter Saleen S281 motor and an excellent shifting 5 speed.
Note: This car can be previewed only in Lubbock, Texas. Note: This car can be previewed only in Lubbock, Texas. Please call (310) 322-7767 for a preview appointment. The buyer will be responsible for removing the vehicle from Texas.

The current bid is at $9,000 bucks.. I know the engine alone is almost worth that.. Wonder what his reserve will be I have been looking for a newer model Mustang.. I think I might actually give this guy a call for more information.

Kits been done time and time before. BUt i guess it would be cool.
Do you own a 2010 camaro? If so is it a V8? How do you like it?

Nope, it's an 85 IROC Z. And I do love it. I went to the GM Nationals this year, and sat in a bunch of 2010s including the "Black" edition. I did however, enter to win a 2010 SS (Which features a 6.2L V8 SFI engine, with a 6 speed auto clutch.
As for my IROC, it is a V8 smallblock. Mods include K&N air intake, and Goodyear Eagle radials. I also am soon getting a Flowmaster exhaust manifold for it.

Do you mean Flowmaster headers? Or Replacement flomaster cat back exhaust? I don't believe flowmaster makes replacment exhaust manifolds. No point.

Yea that was my mistake I was going to edit that. It's just the pipes. It's called Dual Rear Exit Exhaust Systems. DOR for short. It's a split end pipe. 16 gauge, so exhaust flow is obviously a little more optimized. Plus, yes it does look and sound good.

Yes you could. If itwere to be driven on the street just how it is, you could be charged with impersonating a police officer. The Police decal on the side would need to be either removed, or covered while driving, and the lightbar either need to be covered, or wired in a way that it would not operate while the vehile was driving. The doors being white could also present a problem. In Califorina, black body with white doors are reserved for law enforcment, so the whole thing just screams "Pull me over!"

That's really not the chunk of change I'd imagine getting the film model for. Especially since he's so sinister looking. Maybe if he'd actually had the S281 Extreme motor instead of the NA'ed motor.
Well the market right now is crap for custom cars, (well cars in general) so its no surprise that he didn't bring in the big bucks.
Also, it should have had the supercharged motor. Acording to the article they pulled it directly from the assembly line, and if its a real "Extreme", that means it has the supercharged 4.6 motor.
