Smokey and the Bandit WS6?
Not to be intruding on this board cause I got a 35th Anniversary Z28. But, has anyone seen one of those anniversary edition Trans Ams that was made around the time they were about to stop production on the 02 F-Bodys'. I remember seeing a picture of it on the net. It was suppose to be a WS6 that was yellow that was suppose to be paying tribute to the Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. If anyone has one, post some pics because they looked tight.

I have no idea about the Bandit part of what you mean, maybe you heard that somewhere, but the Collector's Edition Trans Am was only made in '02, and it's yellow, and as far as I know they're all WS6 cars as well, so I'll guess that's what you're looking for.

Well, that's a vert, and it doesn't have the bird, but it does have the 3rd gen script on the sides, and the gold pinstriping. The wheels? Way off.
There's more pictures of the Collector's Edition cars here: http://www.firebirdgallery.com/Editi...tor_02lot1.htm

Burt's own T/A he owned was in 1978, the first Y84 code Special Edition with an Olds 403 and auto trans (1 of 210 made), and the comapny I work for now owns it.

Car also had the German stripes and lettering used on 76-78 models, and similar Georgia plate was used in the front.
