I have a 77 Trans-Am with the Hurst T-Tops that needs some TLC if anyone is interested in it it's a rolling chassis it's missing some parts off of it like 1 fender the shaker assembly, the passenger side window, and the valances for the front and rear and the carpet and seating other then that everything else is there! asking $800.00
Looks a hella lotta fun. I'm a 26 year old Brit, but Smokey and the Bandit will always be my favourite movie from my childhood!! To take part in a Bandit Run would be awesome :D
I wanna come along for the next one haha, got a 91' Camaro, itd fit right in, im hoping to come across a T/A next, not sure whether i want a 77-81 or a 98-02 though, if i got a decent price on a frame-on restoration i might buy a project car, have a company restore that, and just drive my Camaro til its done =P
Either way ive always wanted to join one of these!
imagine being stuck is all those trans am's in a prius, hahahah. or, get about 30 t/a's or so and just chase a mustang that randomly appears, or, box one in, put it in "the rocking chair".
Hi all, is this a yearly event? Amazing what those movies did with many of us. I was like 9-10 years old when the first came out, and I just loved every second of it. It was what every boy wants; Fast cars, big trucks, smoking tires. Burt Reynolds was my big hero back then. I even became a fan of country music. For a Swedish boy at the age of 9 that's something extra. Brings back memories to hear that track. Jerry Reed past away in cancer, correct?
and on the 8th day, God after having created the turbo diesel and jake brake saw the need for something just as bad ass in a car, so on the 8th day the Lord giveth the "trans-am" and he blessed it with 455 cubic inches of heaven under the hood, then being the all knowing God, put Burt Reynolds in it and it was good
I don't think it matters whether or not you're a big Trans Am fan (I'm into old Muscle Cars in general, not T/A's in particular... and primarily, I like CORVAIRS... Go figure... ), This video is just COOL! If I had the time and money, I'd sign up for this years run in a heartbeat. I don't think I'd do too well in the burnout competition, though.
I just bought a 79 Bandit style SE-Y84. Driving it back from Oklahoma to a new home in Canada... gonna be a long drive, but oh so sweet! East bound and down....
If you are driving up i29 through Kansas, and are going by Omaha, NE, you should swing by Restore a Muscle Car in Lincoln, Just an hour off of i29 and see all the Trans Ams and other cars we are restoring here! He can help you out with anything you need while on your way as well! Drive safe and Congrats on your purchase!
that was nice. now i seen the old boy with the general lee filming the video, i cant remember his name but he is a cool cat. it would be cool if Camaros could make the run, i would do it then.
Actually there was a series of made for tv movies. Bandit Bandit, Bandit Goes Country, Beauty and the Bandit, and Bandit's Silver Angel. The bandit's car in that series was a black 91-93 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo.
Watching this gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside and you can't but help but smile and giggle your ass off like you were 5 years old!!! Amazing!!! Wish I was there, I bet the police must have though oh no not again!!! lol Amazing to see this wonderful cars in such good condition, a real tribute to the hard work of everyone!!! Just what the song says ain't it!!! Just hope this catches on!!!!
if anybody wants a 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am talk to me here or on zwinky look for animeartist0.:D it's awesome in great shape my uncle rebuilt it
it looks like it might be a general lee i'd have to ask my uncle he restores old muscle cars he would know for sure.but he's rebuilding a 79 dodge charger now for the next bandit run.i wish i could go:(
its too bad that theres only one real car there, the General Lee, although the trans am is a nice little toy the real car is the Dodge charger aka the GENERAL LEE BABY!

I'd love one of those 70's Trans ams. The nearest I've ever got to riding in one was a 78 Camaro.
And what a great sound. Who needs that crappy BMW V10 sound when you have that raw V8 power sound.

Remember the Bandit tv series? Had some young guy driving a Black Dodge Stealth R/T in the 90s. Would that qualify?
