VIDEO: Chevrolet Camaro Trans Am Bandit Edition gets renewed and endorsed by Burt Reynolds himself

Here’s a refreshed tribute to the classic movie “Smokey and the Bandit.” After four decades since the movie was released, the iconic car has returned, however, not in the Pontiac Firebird. This one is based on a fifth-gen Chevrolet Camaro and it has been endorsed by superstar, Burt Reynolds himself.

Trans Am Depot has given the Camaro a number of exterior features to have it resemble the 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. A few of these include the “screaming chicken” design on the bonnet, a large shaker scoop, Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascia and a set of wheels that resemble those of the original car.

Inside, the Camaro features Bandit decals on the centre console lid and on the front headrests, while other significant decals can be found on the door’s side panels. To seal it as a Burt Reynold’s endorsed edition, his signature can be found on the dashboard.

Meanwhile, the Camaro edition is no slouch either. Underneath the bonnet, there’s a modified 7.4 litre V8 engine that’s equipped with a 2.9 litre supercharger at that – it will push out a total of 840 hp.

Being a special edition, it’s no surprise that the vehicle here will also carry a special price tag too. Hardcore Bandit fans will need to fork out USD$115,000 (RM447,077) to have it sitting in their garage. To add to that, it’ll be somewhat rare too as only 77 units will be made.
