Eastbound and down… Y’know, there just aren’t many instances of a car company taking advantage of pop culture promotion of its cars like the Bandit Trans Am. Off the top of my head, all I can think of are the Graduate Alfa Romeo Spiders and the recent Bumblebee Camaros. Anyway, this 1978 Pontiac Trans Am for sale on Hemmings.com looks from the photos to be an excellent example of the Y82 Special Edition. From the seller’s description:
