The 1977 Trans Am SE pontiac 400 is the best performance wise, and looks too. And no the 1994 trans am and up are the worst but not by far but to me it doesnt matter any t/a is cool but the 2 most B/A trans ams in the world are the 1977 one used in Smokey and the Bandit 1.the 77 Trans Am SE 6.6 L Pontiac 400, and the 1980 Trans Am (whether its the turbo trans am or not, the looks on that car are the same for the turbo one and non turbo t/a). Sorry but thats nowhere near true i know someone who owns a 1980 trans am 4.9 turbo trans am its got a stock turbo T/A engine and the tires smoke a lot. Most of these cars now have 400 engines that the dealers switched when the original Turbo 4.9 didn't even last 2-3 years. Not to mention that the Turbo is notoriously fragile. The car could barely chirp them with the stock engine.
#Trans am in smokey and the bandit install#
When they made Smokey & The Bandit II they had to install a NOS kit to make the tires squeal in the back. Sort of ridiculous when you take into consideration that a base Chevy Cobalt could run circles around a stock 1980 Turbo T/A. Some magazine called them "Hot Buys" not too long ago which pumped up their price. Knoxzilla wrote As much as I love Smokey & The Bandit, this was the worst model year ever for Trans Am's when it came to performance. "excuse me sir, your ass is on fire, bet you'll be glad to get back to Canada and stick it in the snow" Haha thumbnail 5 is taken from when the bandit says one if his funniest lines In the 2nd thumbnail, it looks to have spare tire and wheel put on in this scene.
How did it pull the elephant and baby at the end of the movie? In the second pic, the T/A has a white stripe tire on the front right with a gold painted rim instead of the turbine style! HMMMM.Īs much as I love Smokey & The Bandit, this was the worst model year ever for Trans Am's when it came to performance. Call me with any questions you may have 31 JAMES.See the 3 comments from this page that were archived AuthorĪs many times as I have watched this movie, i never noticed this until Weasel1984 posted his pics. but I have the original one in the trunk that was still working when it was removed from the car. but I think it needs an oil sending unit. The oil pressure gauge doesn't work though. It catches tons of attention everywhere you drive it! If you do not want to stand out. This is a numbers matching factory WS6 special performance edition car. I have pictures from start to finish of the restoration project.
This is a very nice (driver/show quality) car with a 10 year old restoration not flawless with normal wear. 1981 Turbo Trans Am Smokey and the Bandit II reproduction but is a factory WS6 performance package and is highly optioned.
Up for auction is a beautiful matching numbers.
