Okay, nothing can replace the original 1978 Firebird Tans Am’s character, but this converted Camaro sure comes close.
Built for a modern bandit by Florida-based Trans Am Depot, it is based on the fifth-gen Camaro that uses GM’s Zeta platform. Moreover, the company offers a plethora of options along with the new body panels that transform the Chevy into a Pontiac – including T-Tops, custom paint options and performance packages.
But while anybody can commission a “7T7 Trans AM” from Trans Am Depot, the SE Bandit Edition is different, as only 77 of these rare automobiles will be built, each signed by the Bandit, aka Burt Reynolds, himself. The model features all the details and elements painstakingly crafted to reminisce the original vehicle, paying more than a tribute to it.
On the performance front, buyers can opt for mods that can raise the original vehicle’s output to up to 840 Hp; adding a 2300 TVS root mounted supercharger, stainless exhaust, performance mufflers, a dyno tune, LS9 injectors, boost-a pump, performance valve springs – anything you can think of.
Mind you, these are not just some Camaros with a different body kit, as the cars are thoroughly modified (inside and out) using around 230 custom CAD elements in order to capture the authentic and yet modernized spirit of the muscle cars.
Not only that, but Trans Am Depot can actually offer its customers the 6T9 Judge – a conversion kit that visually transforms the Camaro into a modern 1969 Pontiac “The Judge” GTO.
