Talking Year One Bandit Edition

The Prince of Dubai has a Year One built Bandit Edition Trans Am (that has a Hydratech system in it of course!), so StreetKing shares his love with with a high end international notary.

Hi, my name is _____ and I have an addiction

It killed me just recently to put down a '79 Trans Am T-top car for its mechanicals - it was just too cancerous to save (I swear - really!!!). The 403 Olds is going in place of the (pathetic and truly shameful) 307 in my personal '86 442 Olds for a MUCH NEEDED 100 cube shot in the arm. The subframe, trans and rear end went to a local street rod project (cool '46 Willy's build!). Yes - the front steering knuckles are also going into the 442 in place of the POS factory 'stuff'...

My highschool days were a '77 T/A with a 400 poncho 4 speed, T-tops, leather jacket, bleach blonds (ahem - nuff said!)

I still have a '72 or '73 ? T/A front valance sitting in the rafters of my mom's house - I chuckle everytime I visit and look up there, as nobody else knows or cares that it exists up there

Go StreetKing go!

I feel your pain. I too am a Trans Am fan having owned four myself, and five Firebirds... I am also totally OK with owning more, too.

I have a hard time not picking up quality projects when I find them out here. This is the dry midwest after all. I just have to keep reminding myself I do already own one even if it is 1000 miles away right now. These cars definitely have a weird stigma attached to them. The quality of the car itself speaks volumes about the owner though. Kind of like tire marks in the garage.

It's Alabama! What did you expect? As a Georgia native, I can not let that jab pass by unused. I'd be insulting my birthright or something.
