I can't believe the coincidence! I had a slot car version of the car from the first film delivered today, it is not advertised as such but it is clear from the pictures the intended subject - even more so with the roof panels removed. Just a few accents to do, not least Burt's impressive 'tache, and we're well away: You may have been restricted for space but they're still great pictures, thanks for posting Gene. Sam.

Thanks for sharing Gene. It seemed the film was always on over Christmas in the 80s and I always tuned in . I've always loved the Trans Am even though its brash American fare. The colour scheme works well and even the bonnet eagle decal looks good.

Yes I like Trans Ams too, you did used to see the occasional one on the road in the late 70s and early 80s as they were one of a handful of American cars which were officially imported to Britain by General Motors. Of the smokey and the bandit films, I thought the first one was passable but 2 and 3 weren't particularly good. James Garner also drove one in the Rockford Files.
Good pics, Gene

Brilliant pics Gene and no worries you've done a good job capturing it too. Liked the TransAm too in fact the car is better and more memorable than the film. Thanks again for sharing Gene.

Thanks for sharing those pics Gene, that was an iconic car for sure! Loved the Smokey and the Bandit films as a school kid!
