DID YOU KNOW?? The 1967 Bumblebee Camaro, featured in Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014), is a heavily customized version of the first-year Camaro. While the 1967 model year is a classic, the “Bumblebee” version was modified specifically for the screen. Director Michael Bay was the actual owner of the specific 1967 Camaro used in the film. It was later sold at the 2016 Barrett-Jackson auction for nearly $170,000. Despite its classic body, the movie car was built for performance with a modern fuel-injected LS3 V8 engine and a 6-speed transmission. Only 220,906 Camaros were built in 1967, and the bumblebee nose stripe was originally part of the SS package introduced that year.

Thank you!
Awesome! I love Buckaroo Banzai!! Remember, no matter where you go, there you are. Love the new format and miss your Art Talk.
Thanks, Steve-o! Keepin’ the ball rollin, buddy!
I don’t remember the name of Buckaroo’s truck, but the piece of equipment that gave the truck it’s dimensional traveling powers was called something like the “Undulating Overthruster.” It’s time to watch that classic again.
The JET-TRUCK! And yes, the Overthruster was cool and it deserves another watch, Michelle!
