After over 10 years of searching, I finally bought my dream car.
A 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, nearly identical to the one in the movie Smokey and the Bandit.
Prior to buying this Trans Am, I spent at-least some part of every day of my life either talking about getting one, or scouring the internet to try and find one. I also would easily quote something from Smokey and the Bandit atleast weekly too.
That movie has impacted my life in many ways and I absolutely love it. It is my favorite movie of all time. Comment down below your favorite quote from the movie.
This 1977 Trans Am is finished in Starlight Black and has the gold decals.
I went with the non T-top car because I am not too fond of having the sun on me when I drive and I didn't feel like putting in inserts 24/7 for the T-tops.
I like the look of the hard top just as well too.
It is sitting on the original wheels and the engine is believed to be numbers matching. 56,000 miles on the odometer.
I am obsessed with this car and likely spend too much time just starting at it in the garage! LOL!
I found this car on facebook marketplace and felt like it had potential to be "the one".
My girlfriend Leah drove me up to look at it and I bought it and drove it back all in one day.
Summit Racing hooked me up with some of the suspension parts:

Hoovies Garage made a video on a 1978 trans am 6 years ago, and aside from a few other miscellaneous ones, there is not much Trans Am content on the internet.
His video was: 1978 Pontiac Trans Am: WHY ARE THESE PRICED SO CHEAP?
Another YouTuber by the name of Worthless Whips makes some content with Trans Ams too actually.
