1,500-Mile 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS Transformers Special Edition

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro followed in the footsteps of the 2005 Ford Mustang and the then recently-revived 2008 Dodge Challenger in adopting many retro styling queues. The long-awaited 2010 Camaro boasted a sophisticated modern package with fully independent suspension clad in bulging, muscular body panels, with Car and Driver calling it in their test, “the freshest and most modern package of the three.” In SS trim, the Camaro’s 6.2-liter LS3-and-manual combo, or “L99” V8 mated to an automatic transmission, was rated at 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, far exceeding the 2010 Mustang GT’s 315 horses.

Due to its starting role in the Transformers movie, it was only natural fans would want to drive their own version of Bumblebee. Chevrolet answered this demand by producing a special edition that was available on any Camaro in LT or SS trim - so long as it was Rally Yellow. First available in the Summer of 2009, this $995 special edition option package bestowed the car Autobot badges and Transformers branding as a sign to everyone that this is not just any Rally Yellow Camaro. 

This car is part of The George Foreman Collection, which comprises over 50 cars from the 1930s through today, with a focus on American classics and late-model sports cars.

Known Imperfections

• Please note that this lot is offered in non-running condition after being stored without operation in a climate-controlled facility for at least 10 years. As a result, it will benefit from additional mechanical attention before being driven to address any imperfections associated with long-term storage or individual preferences. Bidders are encouraged to review the Additional Documents section of each lot for any recent mechanical service rendered to help return certain vehicles to running condition. Additionally, bidders should carefully review the photos of each lot in the collection, which may highlight the oxidation of metal components certain vehicles sustained as the result of a garage fire caused by a golf cart battery in March 2019. Although none of the vehicles sustained fire damage from the fire itself, the negative cosmetic effects of the corrosive soot vary greatly from vehicle to vehicle and can be observed in the photo galleries of each lot. All lots are sold as is, where is, and bidders are responsible for any desired diligence before placing a bid.
