Movie Prop site ScreenUsed.com have posted the 1977 Camaro Bumblebee's License Plate from the Transformers Movie.



This is Bumblebee's license plate used on the 1977 Yellow Chevy Camaro. Made of plastic and marked "Old Bumblebee Hero" on the backside. The plate is aged and made to look dirty to match the look of the car. The 1977 yellow Camaro is Sam Witwicky's (Shia LaBeouf) first car and is one of the most important props of the film, with this plate is a very recognizable part of that car. Very few props from the film were sold by the studio making this a very rare opportunity for collectors of the film. The custom display case is 13" wide x 16" tall x 4" deep

The asking price is a bargain basement $3699.00.
