1977 was a year full of events, among them Jimmy Carter becomes the thirty-ninth U.S. President, Rock & Roll pioneer Elvis Presley dies in Memphis, Hollywood releases are Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, George Lucas' classic Star Wars, and the disco-crazed Saturday Night Fever.
But I'm sure that unless you lived under a rock you did not miss Smokey and the Bandit, the Bandit (Burt Reynolds) insists on driving a blocker car......a 1977 Trans Am SE--for the Kenworth truck that the Snowman (Reed) hauls the beer in.
Well, if  you are one of those that was too young to drive and always dreamed about owning a Black Trans Am or if you already were in highschool and you had one back then, and now mid-life crisis has assaulted you,
this is your opportunity to own a real 1977 Trans Am Special Edition.

 
In 1977 Trans Ams featured a new look, and of course Pontiac had a winner on their hands.  Out of almost 70,000 cars produced
only 13,706 were Y82 code (Special Edition)  So, as you can see, Special Editions were very limited in production .
The Special Edition appearance package ( some called them Bandits, unofficially) included steering wheel with gold spokes, and the instrument panel bezel and console trim plate in gold, and door accents being finished in a gold simulated engine turned applique, on the exterior gold trimmed appointments, Gothic German letters, gold pin stripping and gold birds on hood and sail panels, and gold accent grilles completed the package.
Exterior:
 
This True Special Edition has a new base clear coat black paint job, no dents or scratches, and is in perfect condition.  There are new Special Edition decals and pin stripping on the exterior.  This paint job looks 10-times better than what it did back in 1977.  The reflection on this car is unbelievable.  All of the body panels line up like they should.  The original snowflake rims were refinished and look like new. Tires are plenty of life. The Hurst T-tops are in excellent shape and you will also find the original Hurst covers in the trunk.  No expense was spared on the exterior of this car.  Just take a look at the photos below to see what I mean.  Not only is this car a head-turner, but it is also a jaw-dropper.   You will be the envy of you State driving this car down the road.
Interior:
 
Tan interior in excellent shape. The seat were professionally recovered and look great.  The carpet is still in great shape with no stains or rips or wear patterns.  The headliner is not sagging at all.  The center console and door panels are also in great shape.  This Tan interior really makes this car stand out.  I think this interior really sets off the Black exterior of this car.  There are no broken pieces anywhere in this interior and is still in excellent condition.  The dash was covered with a dash pad since had a small crack on it.  The car has a very nice CD player on the place the 8 track was installed, I have the 8 track and we will include it with the car.
Mechanical:
 
This 1977 Pontiac Trans Am is equipped with the Pontiac 400 and automatic transmission.  The engine runs great and does not burn or leak any oil.  The acceleration is smooth and powerful.  The transmission also functions just like the engine.  It doesn't make any noise and shifts smooth.  It shifts smooth and really complements the smooth acceleration of the engine.  All of the other mechanical features work like they should.  The brakes do wonders for stopping this car incase you see an officer drive by.  The air conditioning works great and blows cold air.  I always hate to see a restoration project and they don't spend that extra money to get the AC working.  This car was done right and no option was overlooked.  Doors close tight with no sagging.  The car drives tight and strong, and have had no problems with this cars since in our possession.  Email me with any questions.
 We are dealing with Trans Ams 2nd Generation and we are proud to offer the best examples that are still out there.
