is that the smokey and the bandit 77 car or that hokey 79 with the offset scoop?
My very first (and highly illegal) car test ride was a 77 T/A with the 6.6 liter engine, was down in orlando and grabbed a shuttle from disney world (hey I was sixteen, whats more fun, getting away with a test ride or some goofy kiddie rides?) No license, no permit, nuffin, just me giving them a story about dad buying me either a corvette, a z-28 or a Trans Am (the mustang ii at that time was a total JOKE, even with the 302 King Cobra package (which was cool, but hey, aint no Trans AM!) I remember twisting that key and the tach sweeping over, the hood scoop torquing the other way and that four tip exhaust rumbling its way to a howl ... and cutting the thick leather rimmed, stylized TA wheel at 50 to grab a sharply curved on ramp, punching it on the on ramp to the expressway and UPHILL mind you hitting 80 by the time we were at the top of the ramp. White with a red interior, what a beauty she was!
I was buzzed for YEARS over that, I feel a little giddy now thinking about it, what an AWESOME car!
(if I keep watching that Hot Rod show on discovery channel, Im going to find myself trying to pull off a boyd coddington with one of those ... oh my god ... THIRTY YEAR OLD CARS???
