Few cars capture the spirit of late-’70s Americana like the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, and none do it better than the Y82 Special Edition—the legendary Bandit Trans Am. Immortalized on screen by Burt Reynolds, this black-and-gold beauty isn’t just a car—it’s a symbol of cool, a rolling icon with an attitude as bold as its paint. With its aggressive styling, performance pedigree, and unmistakable presence, this Y82 Special Edition isn’t just a tribute to an era—it is the era.
Underneath that snarling Shaker hood lies a 400 cubic inch Big Block V8, delivering the kind of low-end torque and old-school muscle growl that defined Pontiac performance in the late ’70s. Coupled with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission, this Trans Am was built for cruising with authority. Whether you’re tearing down the highway or rumbling into town, the dual exhaust delivers a throaty soundtrack worthy of its performance lineage.
Handling is well-balanced thanks to power steering, power brakes, and front disc brakes, providing confidence and control behind the wheel. A rear sway bar further enhances stability, ensuring this T/A isn’t just a straight-line warrior—it can carve corners with confidence too.
Finished in the unmistakable Starlight Black with gold accents, this Y82 Bandit Trans Am wears its Special Edition status with pride. The iconic gold striping, shaker hood decal, and decklid spoiler shout performance from every angle. The factory Honeycomb wheels wrapped in raised white-letter tires complete the look, striking the perfect balance between muscle car aggression and show-stopping glamour.
A pair of glass T-tops—a hallmark of the Special Edition—invite open-air freedom and are the perfect finishing touch to this timeless exterior. Subtle details like dual sport mirrors, drivers remote mirror, and the automatic trunk release highlight Pontiac’s attention to both form and function.
Inside, the cockpit is pure 1970s cool, featuring a full-length center console, power windows, and power locks for added convenience. The driver is treated to a tachometer, rear window defroster, and air conditioning, making this classic both functional and fun to drive in any season.
The factory-installed AM/FM radio with an 8-track tape player stands as a nostalgic centerpiece, taking you back to a time when every road trip had a soundtrack. The classic Trans Am dash, with its engine-turned bezel and gold-accented gauges, surrounds you in a performance-focused layout that feels just as thrilling today as it did in 1977.
This 1977 Pontiac Trans Am Y82 Bandit Special Edition is more than just a collectible—it’s a piece of automotive and pop culture history. With its matching numbers 400 Big Block, iconic styling, and all the right factory options, it’s the ultimate symbol of freedom, rebellion, and raw American horsepower. Whether you’re chasing sunsets or stealing the show at car meets, this Bandit is ready to roll—just try to keep your foot off the gas.
