Carolina Bandit

Does anyone know where I can find a jacket like this?

The only ones I can find are on BS sites from Thailand

LoL, that was good!
Maybe he wants it, to display in his TA, at car shows!

Carolina Bandit

Lol. My friends would totally rag on me too but I wouldn't care. I would wear it

I'm in the process of finalizing a deal on a 1999 Formula Firehawk. So not technically a Trans Am I'm currently the owner of a nice lower mileage SOM SS camaro, but I've ALWAYS wanted a Trans Am.

So to the purists I might look silly driving around in a Formula with a Trans Am jacket. I'll get a picture up shortly...

This car was ordered with every additional SLP option in addition to the standard firehawk upgrades. Minus the spoiler option

Very sweet looking car!
I hope you are able to close the deal.
Because of the jacket, I envisioned a bandit TA era car.
I just want to get a hat but I can't find any that look good! Need one when I am driving around in the Florida sun.

Just returned from a drive down on the beach! She sure is a fun car and really turns heads!

My ideal car would be a bandit era car. I want a 77-78 TA with an LS swapped in. I would DD the sh** out of a car like that.

I love taking drives along the beach, especially in a ttop car. Usually makes for a good setting to snap a few pics as well.

And for anyone who wants to weigh in, I've got a thread started in the "what's it worth" section to get a better idea of the value of the hawk. Check it out:

In my case the convertible is preferred but I must admit the T-top cars certainly look sportier and faster.
There's just something about a vert and the beach.
My car is a weekend toy but sometimes comes to work with me on those no rain days!

Carolina Bandit

Love the verts as well. I really like that raptor hood too. I think it's the best looking hood on a TA.

I'm not usually a fan of white cars but yours is a beaut. Definitely a great combo with the white leather interior. well done

I wonder what happened to the one BR wore in the Bandit movie.

Carolina Bandit

It's funny I was thinking that same thing when I started this thread. I'm sure that would have went for big dollars if it was ever auctioned off.

Cool hat.
You could get those silver space suit lookin jackets for lotsa cars back then. I had a Porsche one I kept for about 30 years. Finally cut it up, saving the patches. My wife sewed a couple of them on a grey leather Members Only jacket for me. Remember those? Yes, I am a cheap f er, in case you were wondering! :-0

I would be inclined to believe that jacket is still hanging in Burt's closet haha

Carolina Bandit, your car is sweeeet!!!!
You must get tons of comments and
On a trip this past weekend to Raleigh I had many people compliment our ride, from simple service station stops to two separate people at lunch at a Wendy's. I thought I was at a cruise-in.
It's really cool and unexpected as the cars aren't really that old yet. I know the lines of the car are really cool but I also think the hidden headlights are grabbing attention since they are so passe.

Carolina Bandit

I appreciate the compliment but it's not quite my car just yet. If all goes well this weekend it will be

And it's always great to see some f-body appreciation. Every once in a while I'll have someone come up and talk to me about my camaro.

Where in NC are you located?
