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.

'Tis the season for giving, and what better to give your muscle car fan than some toys? Grown up toys, that is. And here's a couple of toys for that Challenger or Mustang fan in your life.



Bent Rod Garage is offering a 12 inch sculpture of the Dodge Challenger, which comes in three factory colors. Each is limited to a run of 300 units, and will cost you $120.



Next is the 2010 Ford Mustang Hot Wheels. Shortly after the LA Auto Show introduction of the new Mustang, Mattel announced that it would be producing it's own replica of the new model. Mattel partnered with Ford to produce a nicely done model that closely resembles the real thing.
