"Only 77 Bandits Editions will be built. The price is $115,000, but Trans Am Worldwide offers a range of models that start at around $70,000, which includes the donor Camaro SS. Three performance packages are available to boost its stock 6.2-liter V8 to 550 hp, 650 hp, or 720 hp, and if Trans Ams aren't your thing, they also do a GTO-inspired car."

Thanks for the info. Out of my price range for sure, but looks like they do a nice job. The value on it will prob double in 5 years.

Very cool.

If looks nice but it's not any more special than the other 5th gen trans ams that have been built. If they are going to make such a big deal about this version it should have at least been based on the sixth gen. Burt Reynolds signature can't be worth that much. Very cool car though, just needs to be updated.

This will be more special than the other 5th gens that they have built as it has documentation of Burt being involved.
Burt is a legend and since this is based off the Bandit film it will be a collectable.
You must not watch auctions.

Agreed. Look at all the little dealer add-ons the first gen Camaros that didn't amount to much back then but triple or quadruple the value of the car vs a base model at auction. When I lived in Florida, I knew an older couple in Homosassa who collected vintage, number matching 68-69 Camaros. This guy had mint SS/RS cars, Yenkos, etc and they were worth big money. Some of these options didn't cost a lot but were extremely limited and now that is what collectors seek. I've got not doubt these Bandit cars will get a ridiculous price in a few years, I wish I had the money to buy one, I'd have the sucker on a rack and covered in a climate controlled garage because it will be worth serious cash. Burt can't have too many more miles left in him, these will skyrocket when he hits that highway in the sky. I'm glad he did this, I've always liked Mr Reynolds. I'd want to park this in my garage right next to an Orginal 77 Bandit Trans Am and the one Gas Monkey Garage built a few years ago, what a sweet little collection that would be.

I'll wait for "The Longest Yard" edition

I do, I understand him being involved would significantly raise the value of the car. What I'm saying is that it's really the only difference between these trans ams and the others that have already been selling since 2010. All of those body pieces have been seen before. I just think it hurts the appeal of the car to still be using the 5th generation Camaro. Also it's hard to say he was truly involved in the process of this car being made when the parts have been out for years.
