      @Ben Dover - Actually, we’re both wrong. The car in the movie was actually a 1976, with a 1977 nose. The 77’s weren’t out yet, so they used 76’ cars. I didn’t know 76’ model cars had T-Tops, but they had a real limited 50th anniversary model in 76’ with them( less than 3,000 I think, but I’m not positive on that, it’s been years since I found that out).

    $17,900... I think she'll be gone quick. Looks like a fun ride and a nice project car -- and with a T-Top?! -- she gone for sure. At one time, this was a dream car for me; it started with 'Smoky and the Bandit'. Never got one, but always loved the car.
