Virgil Coffman, 101 years old, stands by his brand new yellow Camaro SS with a 426 horsepower engine.

Mr. Coffman hasn’t seen “Transformers.” He said he just liked how the special-edition Camaro looked — and that only 1,500 are to be produced. He traded in a Chevy Monte Carlo for the new car. “Driving by myself, I didn’t need one of those big cars anymore.” he said. “I wanted a sports car.” He has owned 35 to 40 cars over his life-time, mostly GM.

No word on whether he will be doing any racing with the new car.
