Video: The Bandit Edition Trans Am is Ready to Get Into Trouble



It's been almost 40 years since "Smokey and the Bandit" hit theaters, but the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am featured in it is still an automotive icon.

If you have to ask you can't afford it, 840 hp isn't going to be cheap.

The Year 1 restomods of the 2nd gen were much "more interesting" as they were the real body style. The 5th gens just look so bloated and fat, with all the styling cues of the 1977 car but without the design cohesion or slim shape.

Its definitely a badass car, but I don't know if I could call it a Trans Am because its not. Not really.
