Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he wakes you up at 5 in the morning.

I'm a big TTA fan, to my eyes the black/gold special edition TTA is the best-looking 2nd-gen Firebird ever, but the true, genuine bandit has to be a '77-'78.

First movie I remember seeing in the theatre.   :thumbup:

Actually wrote to the head office on that one. The official shots they had rights to were pretty bad (screen shots, really), so they used this one...

Well then don't include it.  Many others that could have been included.  Like the 735i in The Transporter.

Wait I thought the car had the snowflake wheels like the picture below this one..

The original Bandit car was a 77 with the gold snowflakes. There was a Smokey & the Bandit 2, which used the '80 pictured with those 'turbo' wheels. There was even a S&B 3 that used an '82/3 Trans Am. As expected #2 and #3 were awful and totally bombed.
