The Chevrolet Camaro Concept will star in the forthcoming “Transformers” movie, which is due for release on July 4th, 2007 (07-04-07).

The film — which was first announced last year — is a collaboration between Paramount, DreamWorks, and Hasbro.

Apparently, “Bumblebee” is going to start out as a 1970s Camaro, and then be rebuilt as a 2008/2009 Camaro. Meanwhile, “Starscream” is going to be an F-22 Raptor, and “Optimus Prime” is going to be a fire truck.

Judging by the license plate on the new Camaro, tuner Saleen also has involvement with the project. A Saleen Mustang police car will also appear in the film.

More info on this car. Word is this is a custom body fabricated by Saleen Inc on a Ford Mustang chassis.

More pics have surfaced, one in particular shows the interior. It looks much more like the Camaro interior (with an auto trans) then a Mustang...

Anyone have more details on this movie car?

Yeah, he was the "little gay VW bug" in the cartoon, and always carried around the kid with him.

Thanks Kevin - I have all of that info so far on my site :D

I haven't heard any more details on the origin of the Camaro being used in the film. I'm waiting for more to 'leak' out :lol:
