Transformers "Barricade" Saleen Mustang sold at auction for $36,000


One lucky collector, or Transformers fan, or both got their hands on a nice full size collectible from the movie. This "Barricade" Saleen Mustang went for a relatively cheap $36,000 compared to the declared value of $100,00 to $300,000.

This car is one of three built especially for the first Transformer movies by Saleen and further outfitted by DreamWorks. It started life as a S281 Extreme before turning into a Decepticon, complete with a push bar, emergency light kit, white doors and decals.

The Mustang was only showing 4,550 miles on the odometer. Bidding started at $1,000.
