Default Cool or not?

Discuss. I used to love these cars when Smokey and the Bandit originally came out. So what do other people think?

We've got one in our leman convoy this year...a '79 T/A with a WS6 pack....





This one is closer to the Bandits cars than any of the others posted above...right model, complete with correct handling package etc. Notice how the wheels are a much deeper dish than those in the second pictured Pontiac along with having the correct nose insted of that eagle eyed jobby. This one has had a fair bit thrown at it handling wise..sits well and corners quite flat. Add to that, even tho you cant really see it, it has a gold pontiac nose cone badge, denoting how rare this ws6 model is. Its supposed to have the full gold pin striping detailing kit like the Bandits and will have this once its had its full repiant later this year....along with its 7.5ltr stroker kit.

theres a guy who lives in my town that has an identical replica of the smokey and the bandit's car, think its a 6.6 ltr!!

Its been stood ten years, apparently the rear hubs and brakes need a over-haul but the guy is abit of a drinker so he has never really bothered getting her roadworthy again.....


shame really...... he wont even sell her either......

'Are we really doing 110' When I watched I was amazed, I asked my dad to buy a car that did 110 only to be told he did it everytime he was on the motorway buy himself. At the time I assumed it was one big lie. Best car film ever...

LOL! Benni.

Cool cars in my opinion...

My mate has got a 1974 'bullnose' Firebird with a 7.6 stroker engine in.
