Those are awesome, saw the write up in hot rod. would love to own a 78 flaming chicken with t-tops just for the cheesyness. Smokey and the Bandit was hot when I was about 10 yrs old. really wanted the truck, though, lol.

That dawg'll hunt!

But could it keep up with a well set up 944 in the twisties?

DanielDudley 10-19-2010 01:42 AM

Most likely.

Nice car, too bad Burt can't look that good. :D

He's probably blowing his nose through his navel these days.

'and I'll need a car'

'a fast car'

'a faster car'


I like it!

Like a Singer 911, but with a T/A. I dig it.

WATCH THE COLOR OF THE TIRES ON THE ROLLERS! they're grey ish at the start, and by the time the run is done they're BLACK all the way across. Near the start of the dyno run you can see the center start to turn black and it propagates out-wards.

it probably could, because it doesn't have a blue oval on it, but the added wind resistance from the mullet blowing out of the t-tops would slow it back down

I consider this a "resto-rod" where you keep the body of the older vehicle but upgrade everything underneath.

Black, lowered fast car with big azzd billet wheels and tuned suspension?

Count me in baby!!!

Probably similar in $$$ as well. A shame we couldn't see the dyno results.

T77911S 10-19-2010 10:38 AM

i was watching the extra's on the smokey and the B Cd, burt said the sales of the TA went out of the roof when that movie came out. he said the pontiac president promised him a new T/A, i guess the guy died and the new pres would not give him one. what an arsse.

B944 10-19-2010 10:40 AM

The 77 Trans Am was my favorit car for years, and the bandit edition tops that!

RWebb 10-19-2010 10:56 AM

where is all the hair on the interior?

Zeke 10-19-2010 12:25 PM

Long live hot rodding. There's something for everyone.

The absence of a blue oval doesn't necesarily mean it's slower, it just means it'll make it there and back under it's own power ;)
