Built in April 1977, this Trans Am predates the theatrical release of Smokey and the Bandit in May of that same year. That timing places it right at the beginning of the Bandit era.
Finished in Starlight Black with a black velour interior, this example showcases the signature Special Edition appearance, including gold striping, hood bird graphics and gold-accented details that made the Bandit car a legend.
It is documented as 1 of 1,477 Special Edition Trans Ams produced with the automatic transmission and without T-tops, making it a more uncommon configuration among Bandit-era cars.
Power comes from the T/A 6.6L 400ci 4-barrel V-8 engine paired with a Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. This combination delivers the classic driving experience that defined the Trans Am during its most famous years.
This Trans Am stands apart with a unique piece of Hollywood history. The driver-side sun visor has been autographed by Burt Reynolds, forever linking this car to the film that made it famous.
It is a rare blend of collectible muscle and pop-culture significance—something that goes far beyond a typical restored classic.
With an original MSRP of $7,958.26, this Trans Am came well-equipped from the factory. Notable options and features include:
