It's kinda weak, but has good potential.

An acquaintance is rebuilding a 78 Special Edition. When he first started the project years ago, he mentioned what a hellion it would be based on what he remembered from the movie Smokey and the Bandit. Out of sheer luck, I'd happened to read an article about the movie recently and suggested that he did a web search on "Smokey Bandit Trans Am MODIFICATIONS." He was very skeptical at first, but after he did some research, he was glad I spoke up. Now instead of a slightly anemic restoration, he WILL have a hellion (motor complete - dyno'd at nearly 500 HP at the crank!)
