1979 Chevrolet Camaro CHP Movie Car Is Our Bring a Trailer Pick of the Day

• This 1979 Chevy Camaro was painted as a California Highway Patrol car for a police chase scene in the 1982 film, The Junkman, directed by H.B. Halicki, who also wrote and directed the first Gone in 60 Seconds in 1974.
• Unlike the 1979 Camaro Z/28 tested by the CHP for pursuit use, this one uses a 130-hp 305-cubic-inch V-8 and a three-speed automatic transmission.
• This auction ends Tuesday, May 3, with the current bid sitting at $2100 as of Friday.

This might be the first time we've seen a Bring a Trailer listing for a car with a gun mounted to the passenger footwell, and this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro only gets more unusual the closer we look. This California-Highway-Patrol-painted Camaro was used in the film The Junkman, a 1980s action movie written by H.B. Halicki, the same director responsible for the first Gone in 60 Seconds. The Camaro has definitely seen some action. The paint is faded, the dash is cracked, and the valve covers are rusty. Not to mention, it has the potential to be in a real police chase, given California's strict rules against cars resembling law enforcement vehicles.
