Burt Reynolds Introduces the NEW Bandit Trans Am
 

MG1 03-31-2016 11:34 AM

But, does it come with a CB Radio?

My Dad bought one new in 79 and we drove it everywhere. Had that big 6.6 liter engine. Many years later was depressed to find out it had about the same house power as my Civic with a 1.8 liter engine.

It's not April 1 over there yet.. so this is real?

Lomac 04-01-2016 03:34 AM

Yup, it's a legit car, not an April Fool's Day prank.

Built by Trans Am Depot and puts out 840hp.

77 made, to honour the 1977 Trans Am that was used in the Bandit movies.

OMG THE JUDGE PogChamp

69 GTO was my dream car when I was 16, even built one of those model kits

That one looks pretty sweet too

thumper 04-01-2016 08:10 AM

their attention to detail is pretty good. right down to how the headlight covers won't close properly lol.

but yeah i like too :thumbsup:

but not the rear end :failed:

And that is why they did it. There is a lot of disposable income out there, and folks who are on the nostalgia kick. I would love to have modern day Trans Am, just to say I have one. Let alone the 840hp.

I liked these when I thought it was only the TA. But that Judge is a really cool car. I had the same model kit as you growing up. That car was an icon in it's own way.

:chairdance:

But it's such a limited run, barely anyone is actually going to be able to get one.... They could have just made them 'special edition' for a year and sell thousands of them

vitaminG 04-01-2016 10:58 AM

id be surprised if theres more than 77 people who want to spend that kind of money on a kitted out camaro. ill assume this is well into the 6 figures

a previous generation camaro at that, since im pretty sure these arent based on teh 2016 camaro

thumper 04-01-2016 11:03 AM

i'm not sure there are many in this market who can afford to buy a brand new 2017 and do that to it... either you've had your old one for awhile, or you bought used and spent what is left to do this.

Manic! 04-01-2016 03:48 PM

It's more than just a bodykit. It's got T tops friggin!!! T-TOPS!!! The only new car to come with them. I also love the wheels I wonder if they sell them separately.
